TIP#18 OF 29 ESSENTIAL TIPS THAT GET HOMES SOLD AND FOR TOP DOLLAR

-Tip #18 Don't get emotional during negotiations--

The extent of most people's experience in the art of negotiation begins and ends at their local auto dealership. A few of us have pleasant memories of haggling with car salesmen. If you can just let go of the emotion you've invested in your home and approach negotiations in a detached, businesslike manner, you'll find the process a lot less painful. In fact, you might even enjoy it, and you'll definately have an advantage over prospectve buyers who get caught up in the emotion of the situation.

TIP #17 OF 29 ESSENTIAL TIPS THAT GET HOMES SOLD FAST AND FOR TOP DOLLAR

--TIP #17 THE MORE PROSPECTS, THE BETTER-

By maximizing your home's marketability, you will increase your chances of attracting more than one prospective buyer. Why is this better? Because several buyers compete with each other; a single buyer ends up competing with you.

TIP#16 OF 29 ESSENTIAL TIPS THAT GET HOMES SOLD FAST AND FOR TOP DOLLAR

-TIP # 16 DISCLOSE EVERYTHING



Smart sellers proactively go above and beyond the laws to disclose all known defects to their buyers - in writing. If the buyer knows about a problem, he cannot come back with a lawsuit later on.

TIP# 15 OF 29 ESSINTIAL TIPS TO GET HOMES SOLD FAST AND FOR TOP DOLLAR

-TIP # 15 DON'T LET A SMELL BE YOUR DOWNFALL

Odd smells kill deals quickly. All traces of food, pet and smoking odors must be eliminated. Even when you are sure they are gone, don't encourage prospective buyers to imagine things. If they know that you are a smoker or that you have a dog, they'll start smelling odors and seeing stains that may not even exist. Be safe-don't leave any clues.

TIP#13 OF 29 ESSENTIAL TIPS THAT GET HOMES SOLD FAST AND FOR TOP DOLLAR

TIP# 13 REMOVE ALL TRACES OF YOU FROM YOUR HOME

When you toured other people's homes, you may have felt some discomfort. This probably occured because you saw, heard or otherwise sensed something that made you feel as if you were intruding into someone's life.

The last thing you want others to feel in visiting your home is that same sense of discomfort. Avoid this by making your home as neutral as possible. Anything that interferes with prospective buyer's ability to see themselves living in your home must be eliminated. A few carefully chosen knickknacks and family portraints may add warmth and character to the home, too many are a distraction. Avoid unique or trendy color schemes- paint and carpet in neutral shades of white or beige.

TIP#12 OF ESSENTIAL TIPS THAT GET HOMES SOLD AND FOR TOP DOLLAR

--TIP#12 FIX EVERYTHING NO MATTER HOW INSIGIFICANT IT MAY APPEAR

The step that squeeks, the light switch that does not work, the hairline crack in the bathroom mirror- they might seem like minor annoyances to you, but they can also be deal killers. The problem is that you never know what will turn a buyer off. Even something minor that's gone unattended can suggest that perhaps there are bigger, less visible problems as well.
