1. Price
it right. Set a price at the lower end of your property’s
realistic price range.
2. Get your house market ready for at least two weeks before you
begin showing it.
3. Be flexible about showings. It’s often disruptive to have a
house ready to show on the spur of the moment, but the more
often someone can see your home, the sooner you’ll find a
seller.
4. Be ready for the offers. Decide in advance what price and
terms you’ll find acceptable.
5. Don’t refuse to drop the price. If your home has been on the
market for more than 30 days without an offer, be prepared to
lower your asking price.
