Home Selling Tip #1:  Prepare your
home for sale

Before you put the "Home for Sale" sign in your
yard, there are a few things that must be done or
considered to prepare you home for sale:  work on
your homes
Curb Appeal, Staging your home,
Home improvements Dos and Don'ts, consider a
Home Warranty
, and consider hiring a real estate
attorney.
Home Selling Tip #2:  Set your price

Put a lot of thought into determining your price.  
There are many factors to consider.  Consider
how quickly you want to sell your home.  Consider
how much money you need to net from the sale;
not how much you would like to net.  Consider the
selling price of other homes in your neighborhood.
 You are not paying a commission, keep that in
mind and price competitively.
Home Selling Tip #3:  Advertise your
home

company offers the level of service and options for
someone with a home for sale in Altoona PA and
the surrounding areas.  Our advertising is focused

in Altoona and the surrounding cities.  We offer a
locally distributed

Home Selling Tip #4:  Show and Sell
your home

Consider having an OPEN HOUSE to kick off your
home selling experience.  Adding the even the
smallest touch will allow you to showcase your
home in its best light and highlight those features
that will attract prospective buyers to your home.  
Use proper lighting and aromas that will welcome
buyers in to your home.  This experience should
be fun.  Tell your buyers why you have loved your
home and what is special about it.
Home Selling Tip # 5:  Negotiate your sale

When selling a home you clearly want to make the
best profit possible.  Meanwhile, the buyer wants
to get the best deal possible.  You will need to
negotiate carefully so that everyone is happy.  
Consider all reasonable offers but keep your
bottom line in mind.
Home Selling Tip 6:  Close your sale

Get your sales agreement signed and provide
your sellers disclosure.  This can all be done by a
local attorney.  Don't relax until the check is in the
bank.  You may still have inspections or other
lender requirements.  Once you have the buyers
approval, the inspections are done, set up the
closing.
