Before you sell your home, there are four key questions you should ask.
1. How does your home size and layout compare to other homes on the market? One of the first steps you can take in answering this question is going online to look at properties in your area. When you examine your home using other comparable homes as a point of reference, you’ll get a better idea of how to value your property. In addition, you might also find that this will help you decide on which upgrades, if any, might help your listing.
2. What are the key selling points of your home? Your property is unique. Along with looking at other properties to see what sets them apart, you should also be considering what is special about your own home. Do you have a security system, a fenced in yard, or other unique amenities? Determining these items will help you to better market your home.

3. What are small upgrades and improvements you can do prior to putting your home on the market? Before you list, your home should be in the best condition possible. Small improvements like painting can make a big difference. But also don’t forget to take care of any repairs, as well. The front entrance is going to be especially important. Make sure it looks attractive in terms of curb appeal.
4. What type of buyer should you be looking for? Having a target demographic for your listing will make the process of marketing much easier. If you have a multi-family home you’ll most likely seek investors or an owner-occupied person looking to supplement their income. If your property is on the water, you might be looking for buyers who are seeking out a second home.
If you are thinking of selling, even if you aren’t planning to do so in the immediate future, I would love to help. I’d be more than happy to visit your property and help you answer each of these questions about your property.
