Home Selling Tip 1
Shop for your real estate agent Clients shopping for a real estate agent make us very happy! Unfortunately, not everyone shops for a real estate agent. Many times they make their selection because its someone they know, or someone in their family knows someone in the Real Estate industry, or Uncle Bob is a real estate agent, or they get on the internet and play pin the tail on the real estate agent and make a random selection.

Home Selling Tip 3
You only have once chance to make a great first impression. Another reason to start the process early and hire your agent sooner. Once your property is on the market you do not get another chance to impress buyers. Don’t list your home with a to do list. Handle the honey-do’s and repairs prior to listing. Consult with your agent and find out their recommendations. Then you can list and market your home in the best light possible and make a great first impression.
