Marketing homes for sale have never been more critical. You have made the decision to sell your home. What next? How is your home going to be marketed? The most important thing to know is that over 60% of the potential buyers looking at your home will do so from a cell phone app or tablet and never see your property on a desktop or laptop computer. 50% will do so using a smart phone app. Any marketing plan needs to take this under consideration so that the the information displays properly, loads quickly and does not burn up the user’s data plan with a property presentation designed for desktop computers.

Staging
Consider that when people decide to sell their used car they will have no qualms in spending $200 on an auto detailing job. If the car they are selling has a $10,000.00 asking price, that is 2% of the asking price. Even digging down deeper, these same sellers will remove any personal affects from the car and make it look like it just rolled off the lot. Do you have the same commitment to getting your home ready for sale? I can refer a home staging company or please request a copy of my DIY home staging guide, to help get your home ready for sale.
