Sell a home for top dollar

ESCONDIDO – If a homeowner is considering putting their home on the market to sell for top dollar, there are certain steps that they can take in order to prepare their home for sale.

First, call a local Realtor with proven experience. A local Realtor can provide a homeowner with up-to-date information on home values and trends in their neighborhood. Don't just rely on an internet search. While the internet is a great start, its data is not as accurate as the information obtained from a local Realtor.

Prepare the home for sale. A Realtor can provide ideas about minor free or low cost changes that a homeowner can make to their home that will increase its value. Many of the Realtors at Broadpoint Properties will bring along a decorator for a consultation on how to sell a home for top dollar.

Clean up and remove any clutter. While a lived-in home is a loved home, homes that have minimal papers on tables and are clear or items on counters often provide a more open and larger feel that is enticing to buyers. Homes with immaculate closets and drawers are attractive to buyers.

First appearances matter. Look at the front door. Is there a pile of shoes or sporting equipment next to the front door. Make the entrance appealing by adding a potted, flowering plant and removing all personal items.

With these steps in mind and with the help of a local Realtor, a homeowner should be able to sell their home in San Diego County fast and for top dollar.
