Seven tips to sell your property for the most money

It's complicated and yet also short and simple:

–Declutter, move out if possible

–Staging–it works. On a small budget? Virtual staging is the answer

–Light–let it all in! Open all drapes and blinds, remove valances and heavy drapes

–Clean, clean clean, wash the windows

–Hire an excellent real estate agent who knows your market, can price it appropriately and is an expert at marketing homes to sell

–Access–let all agents show the house at any time. Buyers sometimes have only an afternoon to see homes and make a decision

–Overpriced properties sit on the market, become stale and make buyers wonder “what’s wrong with it” and motivate them to make lowball offers

These are just a few of the important steps; there are many more details and negotiations necessary to sell a property for the best price.
