How to Get Top Dollar on Your Home: Advice from an Expert

Ready to learn from a pro? Today, let’s review the firsthand insights from recent home sellers who successfully secured top dollar for their properties. Let's dive into their tried-and-true strategies:

1 - Starting with a Strategic List Price: These sellers swear by starting with a lightly under-market list price. Why? Because it drums up immediate attention from buyers and increases the likelihood of sparking a bidding war. By strategically pricing your home, you set the stage for competitive offers and can maximize your selling price.

2 - Investing in Professional Cleaning: Want to make a lasting impression on buyers? Invest in professional cleaning services to ensure your home shines from top to bottom. Clean, polished homes consistently attract more attention and often score higher selling prices. A spotless space sends a message to potential buyers that your home has been cared for.

3 - Mastering the Art of Decluttering: It's no secret that decluttering is a critical step in preparing your home for open houses and showings. But recent home sellers have taken it a step further by decluttering more than they initially thought necessary. Their secret? Declutter, wait a week, and then declutter again to achieve that Instagram-worthy look. A clutter-free home not only appears more spacious but also allows buyers to envision themselves living in the space, which can lead to offers!

4 - Taking Advantage of Professional Staging: Staging is about showcasing an engaging, move-in ready home that creates an emotional connection with the buyer. Updating décor with on-trend, inviting style—particularly in living rooms, primary bedrooms, kitchens, and dining rooms—can make a memorable impression. In fact, eighty-two percent of buyers' agents said staging helped their clients visualize the property as their next home, according to the National Association of REALTORS® Profile of Home Staging.
