SAYING GOODBYE BEFORE YOU SELL
Like most homeowners, you probably have a strong emotional attachment to your home, where every room holds many memories from the years you and your family have lived there. These memories are to be cherished, but when it comes time to sell, it’s important to set them aside and begin to see your property through a buyer’s eyes.
It’s often hard for a seller to see their home as a “product”, but selling a home is simply a business transaction. There is a lot of money at stake, so it’s essential to view the process objectively and use your REALTOR® as an impartial guide to advise you on preparing and pricing your home realistically for a successful sale.
One way to say goodbye to your home is to pack up all your belongings that have the most personal meaning for you. Packing up your memories can be painful, but it can help you let go of the past and envision your new life in your future home.
