The summer home-selling season is fast-approaching. This is the busiest time for the Bloomington market! If you’ve been thinking about selling your home, now is the time to act. I have created a list of 5 simple steps to selling your home so you can start the process as soon as possible. One of the most important parts of home-selling is pricing your home right so it sells quickly in the current market. Don’t worry…a seasoned agent who knows the local market can help you with that. That’s why my first tip is to hire a listing agent. In the first stages of selling, the listing agent can assess your house’s position in the market and give you tips for cosmetic improvements to increase buyer appeal before you start showing the house.

Then, you should spend some time decluttering, cleaning, and prepping your home to be shown. Remember, buyers initially spend less than half an hour viewing the home. That’s not a lot of time! First impressions are key to selling your home quickly. Additionally, the marketing photos of your home are meant to attract buyers to want to view the home in person. Presenting your home well through pictures is also something to consider when prepping. Your agent will then put your home on the market, take care of showings and negotiations. If you follow these five simple steps to selling your home, you’ll be well on your way to saying “hello” to your next dream home!
