Seller's Resource
Sellers used to call the shots when listing their homes. In just a few years, the market has changed. Fewer buyers and mores sellers require you to do your home work prior to selling.
Visit other homes selling in your market. Be objective. Ask yourself why a buyer would purchase your home rather than your neighbor's. You can not get emotional about selling your home. This is a business deal.
A realtor can help prepare you and your home for the sale. As your listing agent, I can offer my professional advice based on marketing reports and statistics from Grand Rapids Association on Realtors and National Association of Realtors.
