6 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

1. Price your home right
2. Once you finish decluttering, do it again.
3. Follow the four-month rule. If a house sits on the market for over four-monhs, buyers think they can get it for nothing. Take it off the market and relist.
4. Hire a cleanng crew. Nothing turns buyers off like dirt.
5. Do a smell check. A fresh, clean smell is what you want--no smoke, pets, or pungent food odors.
6. Make a price drop count. Buyers shop by price brackets so instead of $250,000 go to $249,000
