1 Prepare your home before putting up a "for sale" sign. Attract buyers and sell your own home with low cost cosmetic steps. Cut the grass, clean up the outside and paint drab walls.
2 Set your price right and sell your own home fast.
Find the true value of your home by comparing it to similar homes recently sold in your neighborhood. In one of her best home selling tips Audrie describes where to find recent selling prices and how to compare your house to other homes in your neighborhood.
3 Good Advertising sells Homes.
New low cost web sites will put multiple pictures of your house on the Internet. See a sample Internet home advertisement. Use Internet ads in combination with local newspapers and neighborhood flyers.
4 Sell your own home with an open house.
Kick off your home selling campaign with an open house. Invite all the neighbors for blocks around your house. Show them your home's best points and tell them your price. Why? Because neighbors are the best promoters of the neighborhood and they all have friends and family who buy homes.
5 negotiating with buyers.
Always make a counter offer when selling your own home. The buyer who offers less than your asking price can be encouraged to pay more or agree to other terms like accepting the house without repairs. Audrie describes the offer and counter-offer process and provides home selling tips on how to get the best price.
6 Closing the deal and selling your own home.
Audrie describes how to get around obstacles that often kill a deal between Buyer and Seller. This section is full of home selling tips that cover the days between signing a sales contract and "closing day" when you finally collect your money.

You really have a great idea.. It will surely help a lot of newbie agents.. It nice to know that you share it here in this forum... Good post..

Thanks for sharing your ideas!!!

I have run through the tips and i believe these are not only for agents but for ordinary people who wants to sell their properties as well.

I agree with all of your tips but for me the best tip which you have give is the 2nd one which is about setting right price and sell fast.

good say buddy

Thanks for sharing very effective tips so far. Hope everybody gets it helpful. I have the same ideas inside me. But you shared it. Thanks for the hard work.

Hi,

Thanks for sharing information.
I like the Five tip which is really very important regarding selling your home

Thanks.

Some great tips, thanks for sharing. I've often found that many "homes" can come up with these kind of tips, but if you're selling an apartment in an apartment block, then most don't always apply. some take aways I've noticed in the difference, then.

Some things are out of your control - you can mow your own lawn, but if your stairwell to your apartment is shabby, it can be an instant put-off. Offer to coat a lick of paint, or even go the whole hog, and try and get the whole staricase done on approval of the other neighbours.

Also, and this is a big one - take great photos. If you're using the internet to sell, the old addage really is true, a picture speaks a thousand words". It's great to entice people with clever photos that do not lie about real proportions. Once people see great photos, they may want to have a viewing.
