How Do I Get TOP DOLLAR When Selling My Home

Focus on curb appeal. Think shiny new mailbox, pressure-washed driveway and sidewalks, trimmed trees and hedges, fresh mulch, and seasonal color.

De-personalize your home. Tuck the family photos and mementos away and swap them out with neutral artwork or even nothing at all. You may even want to also consider hiring a professional stager. (Want a recommendation? DM me!)

Zhuzh up the kitchens. It's true that kitchens sell houses. Plus, you’ll get around 85% of your money back when you sell. The easiest updates? Painting and new cabinet hardware—just choose neutral colors that will appeal to a wide range of buyers.

Maximize natural light. Think clean windows, airy lampshades, and high-wattage light bulbs. You can even remove drapes and blinds altogether if privacy isn’t a concern.

 

Choose an agent wisely. An agent who knows your neighborhood and what buyers are looking for is a must. Bonus if they are tech-savvy and know how to use social media to get your home sold.

Always price your home in line with the market. It’s never a good idea to go above value “just to see what happens.” This will turn off buyers right away and your home will sit on the market. 

Be slow to make costly upgrades. Consult with an agent who knows your neighborhood before spending lots of money. Chances are, your home isn’t too far from ready condition.
