Tips for selling without a Realtor
Ramsey Solutions posted an article in 2022 estimating that the median sale price for homes sold by owners was 11% lower than the median sale price for homes listed with a real estate agent (link below.) If money is the primary driving factor in attempting to sell your home without an agent, you may be losing more money than you think. If you still decide to undertake this journey alone there are a few tips below that can help you. Additionally, you can access the page above on reasons to use a real estate agent to see the benefits you could be missing out on.

Declutter and Depersonalize: Clear out any unnecessary items that can make your home look smaller or cluttered. Depersonalize by removing any family photos or personal items. This will help potential buyers imagine themselves in the space.
Improve Curb Appeal: First impressions matter, so make sure the exterior of your home looks inviting. Keep the lawn mowed, add some potted plants, and ensure the entrance to your home is clean and welcoming.
Make Repairs: Fix any broken items in your home that may deter buyers, such as leaky faucets, cracked tiles or windows, or squeaky doors.
Lighten and Brighten: Open up curtains and blinds to let in natural light, and add some bright lighting to any dim areas. A well-lit home feels more inviting and spacious.
Stage the Home: If possible, hire a professional stager to help you arrange furniture and decor to highlight your home's best features. If that's not an option, you can also use online resources for tips and inspiration.
