After several break-ins in the neighborhood, I am ready to sell my house. I want to do this while all of the original owners are still present and maintaining the beauty of the neighborhood. The problem is, this task seems kind of overwhelming. When I read about it on the internet, there is just so much conflicting information.
I'm not really looking for any of you to give me step by step instructions on how to get this done because that would be too much, but for those of you who have sold your homes, what were the things you felt were most important? Were there things you did that you regretted? Did you put money into things that seemed to really pay off? Anything that you put money into that was a dud? Anything pertinent that you would share for a first time home seller?
When I look around, I feel like EVERYTHING needs to be done. I have a perfectionist's eye. Do you think a buyer would too?
When we bought our house, the market was flooded with foreclosures and short sales. Houses were empty and sold as-is. This is a totally different market. I have no idea how this market works.
