1.  PRICE IT BELOW MARKET VALUE – So many homeowners think that pricing their home a little over market value will leave them some room to negotiate.  Believe it or not, this just dramatically lessens the demand for your house.  Instead, price the home so that demand for the home is maximized.  When you do this, homeowner, you will not be fighting with a buyer over the price, but will instead have multiple buyers fighting with each other over the house.

2.  USE JOLIE POWELL REALTY – not FOR SALE BY OWNER –  There are few homeowners, but they do exist,                 that think they would net more money if they didn’t have to pay a real estate commission.  With that being —               said, studies have shown that homes typically sell for more money when handled by a realtor.

BOTTOM LINE – Price your home at or slightly below the current market value and hire a realtor.  That will                 guarantee you maximize the price you get for your house.
