• Get your home inspected. A home inspection is a must-do for any home seller. It will identify any potential problems with your home that could deter buyers or negotiate a lower price.
• Make necessary repairs. Once you have your home inspection report, make any necessary repairs. This will help your home show its best and avoid any surprises for buyers.
• Stage your home. Staging is the process of making your home look its best for potential buyers. This may involve decluttering, rearranging furniture, and adding fresh paint or flowers.
• Be flexible with showings. Buyers will want to see your home at different times of day and on different days of the week. Be as accommodating as possible to make it easy for them to see your home.

Don'ts:

• Overprice your home. If you price your home too high, it will likely sit on the market for a long time.
• Neglect minor repairs. Even small repairs can make a big difference to buyers. Don't put off fixing any problems with your home, no matter how small they may seem.
• Be too emotional. Selling your home can be an emotional process, but it's important to stay calm and collected. Don't take offers personally or make any rash decisions.
• Forget about closing costs. Closing costs are fees that buyers and sellers pay when a home sale is finalized. Be sure to budget for these costs when you're planning your sale.
