Today we are going to talk about selling your home after you have already bought a new one. This is a problem many people run into, and there's often a lot of pressure on you to sell your home quickly. The exciting part is over. Now the work begins. Here are 3 things you can do to accomplish your home sale painlessly and profitably:
1. Prepare your home for the market
This means making the house as pretty and attractive as possible to potential buyers. You'll want to de-clutter, de-personalize, and make things look as nice as you can without spending a lot of money.
2. Price it right
If you're stretching a little to make sure you don't leave money on the table, that's OK. However, if you haven't gotten any offers after 30 days, it's time to adjust the price a bit.
3. Unexpected repairs

With these thoughts in mind, if you've already bought a home and are looking to sell, it shouldn't be a painful thing. If there's anything we can do to help you out, give us a call or send us an email and we would be glad to help.
