Learn More about Listing Your Home or Land for Sale
Even before preparing your home, it’s important to enlist the help of the listing agent. This is a licensed real estate agent, Realtor®, and/or broker that has the authority to list the property on the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) and who offers tips and suggestions on staging and marketing your home. It’s imperative to go with a listing agent that is well-qualified for your area or price range and is a seasoned professional. Pricing a home is a delicate process and less experienced agents may not understand the various market factors for your area, type of home, and market conditions. Experience matters when it comes to choosing the right listing agent.

Preparing a home may require different tactics for each listing. Does the home need updating, upgrading, new appliances, certain repairs, different colors, staging, or landscaping to attract the best offer?

This is where an experienced agent and their team of trusted vendors come in. We can discuss what your home needs to get the most profit from the sale.
Did you know that professional decoration services offered by A La Carte can drastically improve the success rate of selling your home? Even a minor renovation or home refurbishment can bolster demand for your home, driving up the sales price considerably. We recommend the following to decorate your home prior to sale:
- Open windows and doors prior to a visitation for enhanced circulation of airflow.
- Tidy your home and remove clutter and extraneous belongings
- Vital areas like the kitchen and toilets should be clean and shiny.
- Apply a pleasant scented candle or air spray to create a comfortable vibe.
- Store jewelry, cash, and other valuable items away from view.
Pricing your home goes along with preparing the home for sale. The more attractive it is to buyers, the more valuable it becomes. While you can always sell a home as-is, if you’re planning on the most profit possible, it will take some effort and planning. Pricing a home correctly from the beginning is crucial. It’s important to understand the market, the neighborhood, and whether the pitch your price high, low or right at market value based upon competitive listings and recent sales.
We understand that this is your personal home so emotions can run high, but remember that buyers are just trying to be comfortable with their decision, too. Keeping your emotions at bay and being flexible with buyers will help get the home sold quickly and efficiently. Discuss every offer with your real estate agent to determine how to either counteroffer, reject, or accept the offer.
Planning, prepping, and staging as well as pricing, marketing, and selling can definitely be a whirlwind of emotions. Understanding the process and having a great listing agent by your side, answering questions and guiding you through the process, will make it much easier overall.
