Real Estate Article:  How to Sell Your Home NOW for the Highest Price the Market Will Pay  

Your home is probably your biggest investment and with the slowing real estate market, you need to take the steps necessary to insure that you will sell your home for the highest possible net price and in the shortest time possible with as little stress as possible.  

Hint #1:  Get your home looking its best.  Before you list your home, you need to make sure your home is in top showing condition.  Remember, buyers often make their decisions quickly as the walk in the front door! 

Hint #2:  Make sure your home is priced to sell.  Pricing your home correctly is not easy, but it’s the most important thing you do before selling.   If your home is priced higher than it should be, it will sit on the market for a long time.  Even if you later reduce the price, the agents will still think of it as an "overpriced listing" as it was when it first came on the market.  If you start out too high, you may get far less in net proceeds than you would have gotten if you had priced it right to begin with. 

Hint #3: Understand how the contract effects you.  Real Estate laws and regulations can be very complex.  When you sign a contract for the sale of your home, it’s a legally binding document.  An improperly written contract can create many problems for you.  You must understand what repairs and cost you are responsible for in the contract.  Make sure you use an experienced real estate agent who has been well trained on contract law and the sales contract currently in use. 

Hint #4:  Select the Right Real Estate Agent  Not all real Estate agents are created equally.  You need to make sure that the one you select will actively work to market your home and make it stand out from the competition.
