Market beating outcomes are rarely accidents.  Each piece is part of a proven, repeatable method to bring a home to market.  You can't control the market, but you can tilt the probability of success in your favor. 

Let's dig into the formula:

Improvements

Not every home improvement has a return on investment.  But some repairs and improvements can move the needle.

Before you rip out your kitchen and your bathrooms, let's talk about your goals.  When would you like to sell your home?    Simple improvements like fresh paint and light fixtures are easy and modernize a home.  Full kitchen renovations and additions can be costly and, depending on your timeline, probably won't pay off.

Staging

moves the needle

Staging is like your home dressed up as its best self.  

You get one chance to make a great first impression.  Chances are, buyers will be flipping through new listings.  You want them to slow down, like your house, call their agent, drive there and see it in person.  Then, when they arrive, you want to them to fall in love.

Remove barriers

Buyers get tired of paying for inspections and sewer scopes for homes they never move into.   Offering inspection reports to prospective buyers makes it cost nothing for buyers to write an offer.  

Pricing Strategy

Your home's value is a range.  You can price for one or multiple offers.  Either way you choose, it is essential to not over price.  

Offer review date

In a hot real estate market, an offer review date can generate excitement and a deadline for buyers to make a decision.  Otherwise you review offers as they come.  But beware of overpricing and missing this date.
