Realtors often say that spring is the best time to sell a home. But the autumn months are also a good time to put a home on the market. How long it will take to sell your home and the sales price will depend on several factors. One of the most important elements is working with a professional Realtor to make the process of selling a home as painless as possible.

The fact is, houses sell throughout the year. The reasons people buy or sell a home are many, and if someone needs to move because of a job transfer or another specific reason, they’ll need to buy a house. Still, statistics show the spring months from March to June are the busiest for real estate transactions.

Sure, no one really enjoys moving, but it doesn’t have to be a downright awful experience. Packing, organizing and getting on with the move can all be accomplished a smooth and coordinated manner.

Be Thrifty
There’s no reason to go to a specialty shipping store and pay top dollar for boxes. Check the “free” section of Craigslist and ask your friends. Sometimes you can find boxes hanging out behind large department or chain stores.

Clear Clutter
A big move creates a perfect opportunity to sort through your things and clear the clutter. Pare down your possessions and leave room for open spaces in your new home.

Plan Ahead
There are little things to consider when you are planning for a move. From defrosting and cleaning the fridge to contacting the…

You have to be moving far.
If your work is relocating you to the next town over, it isn’t as likely that you will qualify for this…

For many homeowners looking to sell their property, the idea of paying a real estate commission is a bit daunting. The national average rate paid to a Realtor upon sale is 5%. Therefore, on a $400,000 property, the seller would pay $20,000 from his or her profit — a significant amount of money for sure, but is it worth it? Consider the following before making your own informed decision.

The best way to know how to price your home is to do a competitive market analysis. Taking inventory of all of the recent home sales in your area and considering homes similar to…

Fancy staging may be all the rage when you read about listing your home, but the experts agree that staying neutral is the way to garner the most interest in real estate. When it comes to décor, see how less is more while selling your home.

Neutral is the new black. Paint color can make a dramatic and lasting impact on any room, but it’s also a highly personal choice. While you may love your blue powder room and be tickled pink in your baby’s nursery, a prospective buyer may walk away feeling overwhelmed by the idea of painstakingly redecorating every room. Painting a neutral palette throughout the home leaves more to the imagination, and looks move-in ready. The new owners can take comfort in the fact that they can live in a neutral space while…
