ESTABLISH A PRICE 02
LIST PRICE
Setting a reasonable listing price is one of the most important aspects in the entire home selling process.
If you list too high, you might not get any offers and it can take you a while to sell your home.
Alternatively, if you price too low, you might be missing out on a greater return on your investment.
2. WHAT DETERMINES THE PRICE?
You have two options in order to price your home for sale:
1. You can get your real estate agent to perform an analysis on other homes for sale in the area.
You can engage with a third party home appraiser, who will perform an analysis on your home and the neighborhood.
YOUR HOME 03
a few HOME STAGING TIPS....
Be sure to put away any personal photographs, memorabilia,and artifacts as it will look like clutter to a potential buyer.
You can replace photos with wall art.
The way you style your home can be a make it or break it point for a potential buyer. They have to be able to picture themselves living in your space, so be mindful of what you leave visible to viewers.
You can hire or rent professional props and decorators to help stage your home.
Consider getting professional photos taken as these determine the first impression the potential buyer will have of your house.

Testimonials
VerifiedbyRateMyAgent
We worked with Tina to sell and buy a home. She was very thorough and took the time to answer all of our questions. She was always available to meet us whenever we requested. We would use Tina again!
-Carrie
Tina really understood what we needed and helped us get into the perfect place! She had amazing advise, was great at communicating and made sure all our questions were answered!!
-Armaan
Tina made us feel comfortable and confident in our decision to purchase a home from the first time we sat down with her. She was quick to respond to texts or emails and scheduled viewings as quickly as we wanted. She even scheduled and showed us houses with very short notice the day we found the house we have now purchased. She was able to tell us about the different areas in which we looked, including features of the communities as well as market trends in those areas. When we needed to make decisions on service providers, she always presented us with multiple recommendations but also made it clear that we could use anybody we wanted, and encouraged us to do our own research. Having a list of recommendations made the process less daunting because it gave us a place to start. We expected the home buying process to be stressful, but it was quick and Tina made it all feel so smooth and easy. We are so grateful we reached out to her to assist us, and we are thrilled with our new home!
