At present, selling a house is more complicated than ever because of the challenging market and the present of lots of legal liabilities and disclosures. So, the homeowners should build up a solid and sound plan months before the first open house. Check out some propositions:
Make your Home Buyer-Friendly
No house sells itself. You have to make your house buyer-friendly to sell it quickly. Many sellers refuse to invest in sprucing up the home believing that they do not need to get their house ready to go on the market. Without staging your house for the potential buyers, you may suffer financial consequences. You may get an offer lower than your expected price or no offer at all if you refuse to make basic repairs and cosmetic improvements of your house.

Estimate the ‘Flaws’
Just putting a sign ‘House for Sale’ is not enough because buyers do not fall for that. Try to estimate your house from a buyer’s perspective. Walk through your house and put everything under the microscope. Check out if the grass is green in the lawn, if there is any dying or dead plants that need to be pulled out, if the house is too cluttered with your stuff, or if your house smells good. House of pet owners and smokers do not smell like roses but they often do not realize that. On the other hand, sweeping and decluttering will make the home look bigger and cleaner.
