HOW MARIHA STEWART CAN SELL YOUR HOME

Selling Your Home: The Process

When you’ve decided to put your house on the market, you want to do everything you can to position it for the best possible price. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the process using the following tips. Then, let Mariha Stewart know how she can help as you sell your house AND find your new home.

1. Let’s determine what your home is worth. It’s everything from location to curb appeal, from condition to the time of year you put your house on the market. Mariha Stewart will look at recently sold homes, homes currently on the market, current interest rates, and more to develop a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) that helps set the asking price for your home.
2. Prepare your house. Working to get your home ship-shape for showings will increase its value and shorten your sales time.
3. Make minor repairs. Fix as many sticky doors, torn screens, dripping faucets, and other apparent issues as possible.
4. Clear the clutter. Clean out closets of old clothes and unused toys. Pack up family photos, knickknacks, and wall hangings. Your goal is to depersonalize your home so that potential buyers can “see themselves” there.
5. Do a thorough cleaning. Wash windows, clean carpeting, wash light fixtures and baseboards, mop floors, and give your stove and refrigerator a thorough once-over. Pay attention to details AND spend a weekend cleaning out your garage, your basement, your attic. A clean, uncluttered house makes a solid first impression that your home has been well cared for.
