Marlene Rouleau Windermere Real Estate

Today I’m sharing 3 points of straight-talk wisdom for you based on my 20 years in the industry. No sugar coating here! As a real estate agent, here's what I would do if I was selling my house this year:

#1 - I would price it right the first time.
Overpriced homes can linger on the market, which can lead to lower offers down the line. I would conduct a thorough market analysis, which your agent can do for you, to help you set the right price based on comparable properties in your area and current market conditions.

#2 - I would stage my home.
I know firsthand how important that first impression is. Keeping the home meticulously clean, decluttered, and in excellent condition is paramount. I might even consider hiring a professional home stager to ensure my home appeals to a broad spectrum of potential buyers.

#3 - I would double down on marketing.
I would intensify my marketing efforts. Even in a challenging market, potential buyers exist. I would focus on ensuring they find my property amidst the competition.

Of course, that's where a real estate professional comes in!
