How to Sell Your Home in Seattle
Selling your home doesn’t have to be stressful. As you prepare yourselves and your home, keep in mind these tips for making the process as smooth and easy as possible.
Three moves that make Seattle sellers the most money
1. Inspect it before they do. A pre-listing inspection costs a few hundred dollars and puts you in the driver's seat: fix what's worth fixing on your own timeline, price in the rest, and take away the buyer's biggest bargaining chip. Homes that fall out of contract come back to market with a scar. We don't let that happen.
2. Win the first ten seconds. Buyers decide from the curb. Mowed, mulched, trimmed, house numbers visible, and a freshly painted front door. Paint in the can is worth $20. On the wall, it's worth $1,000.
3. Less stuff, more offers. Clear the counters, thin the closets by half, pack up the personal items, clean every window. Empty space reads as square footage, and buyers pay for square footage.
