Hello, my name is Tony Dulgeroff and I'm a full time real estate professional in Ann Arbor, Michigan area. These tips will work for you in any area of U.S.First, only put your home on market when there is a real demand for homes like yours. Keep track of how many homes are selling in your area and price range.
Next, make sure that your home is in PERFECT condition. No one wants to pay over a half million dollars for a fixer-upper!
Don't go FSBO! For sale by owner is for starter homes and low-end step-up homes. You will need marketing and expertise of a true professional.
Make sure that you home is priced correctly. 90% of homes that didn't sell last year were over-priced. A real estate agent can perform a market analysis for you or hire a local appraiser.
