Selling Your Home For The Best Price
And Getting It Sold Quickly!
How to sell your home for the best price? This is the question that concerns home sellers the most.
In my view, the secret of getting the very best price for your home with the minimum of hassle is having a systematized approach to preparation and marketing.
When you are considering selling, your first step should be to determine the potential net return given each of the following scenarios –
- Selling “As Is” – That is to say, with a minimum of preparation.
- Carrying out any repairs and/or deferred maintenance before marketing your home for sale.
- In addition to the above, making any cost-effective improvements that will both net you a higher return and appeal to the maximum number of potential buyers.
All this applies equally whether you are planning to list your home with a real estate agent or to try to sell it by yourself.
If you are going to try the “do-it-yourself” route, I strongly recommend getting a copy of 450 Ideas To Help Your Home Sell Faster. This really is worth reading. Get your copy here.

I eventually contacted him and he helped me compile a list of items to prepare the house for sale. Having talked to other realtors, I knew this list made the most sense. When a painter seemed too expensive,… Read more “From Tom Huxley”
