If you ask anyone who has ever tried to sell their home themselves, they'll tell you that from the moment the "For Sale by Owner" sign goes up, the phone begins to ring. Unfortunately, many of those calls will not be from prospective buyers but rather from real estate agents looking to obtain your listing. Obviously the idea of not having to pay a commission to a real estate agent is attractive to any home seller. But because of all the issues involved in the process, selling a home on one's own can be as challenging as many home sellers will attest to. The key is to be properly prepared. If you are not, your home could remain on the market longer than you expect because you are not attracting and getting offers from qualified buyers. This can be the point where many homeowners become frustrated and consider giving up their...

A squeaky hinge, a loose cabinet door, a dripping faucet, a cracked switch plate – all those things can jump out at your buyers and give them the impression that maybe this house hasn’t had regular maintenance. It doesn’t matter that you’ve been taking care of the big things, because they’ll notice the small things. So before you move on to the polish and shine phase of getting ready, go through the house and repair all those little imperfections. While you’re at it, replace any burned out light bulbs. Yes, the buyers will know that bulbs burn out and they’ll need to buy their own. But you’re goal is to create a “Wow” impression, and it’s the details that...
