There are a few things you can do to make the process as quick and painless as possible:

Setting the Price
Get an appraisal which will determine your home’s estimated value. Don’t make assumptions-- there are a number of factors that are considered when your number is calculated. Not very many homeowners can come up with an accurate number without having some kind of experience in real estate.

Determine the Condition
Repair anything that is wrong with the house. Leaky faucets can be easy to get used to but a potential buyer doesn’t want to have to fix your problems. They want a NEW home! Make sure to find out if there is anything that you legally need to disclose to buyers so it doesn’t come back to haunt you later.

Good Exposure!
No matter how hard you work to clean your house, repair the doorknobs, settle on a great price and find the perfect real estate agent, the bottom line is you have to get it "out there!" There are a ton of tools that you can use to get the word out about your fabulous home! Place ads in newspapers, online, host open houses, and don't forget to ask your agent for other suggestions. They have more tools than you can imagine to maximize the exposure of your home.
