How to get top market price for your house

1. Clean, declutter and depersonalize your home. This will help potential buyers see your home’s best features and make it easier for them to envision living there. 2. Improve the curb appeal of your home by freshening up landscaping and painting the exterior if needed. 3. Have a pre-listing inspection done on your home so you can address any necessary repairs before listing the home. 4. Hire a professional real estate photographer to take quality photos of your home that show off its best features and make it stand out online. 5. Price your home competitively based on recent comparable sales in the area. 6. Market your home aggressively with online listings, open houses and other tactics to get maximum exposure and attract the most potential buyers. 7. Screen potential buyers carefully to ensure they’re qualified and can afford the price you’re asking for your house. 8. Negotiate firmly but fairly to get the highest possible price for your house without scaring off potential buyers.
