The Insider's Guide To Selling Your Home By Owner- Rocio Fausto I | Page 77

If you’re going to put any money into staging any room of
your home, do it in the living room.
The kitchen is probably the third most important place to
make a great impression. You can invest in cheap expenses like
changing the cabinet fronts, getting new lights and fixtures, new
knobs and drawer pulls to make your kitchen look better.
You don’t want anything in your house to look like it’s from
the 70’s. So anything you can do to touch it up and modernize it
will go far in your presentation. And most of the modernization
can be done at a pretty inexpensive price.

The biggest mistake that most home sellers
make is that their home is priced too high.
Yes, I said it. Please don’t hate me. A lot of my clients don’t
want to admit that they have their house priced too high.
And truthfully, 90% of the time, I am on their side about the
price. I agree with them that their house is definitely worth what
they are asking, but the fact of the matter is, we are in a buyer’s
market with today’s economy, and there’s not a whole lot that you
or I can do about that.
