Buying or selling a home can be one of the most stressful periods of a person’s life and it is a very emotional experience. As we say in the business, a home is worth what a buyer is willing to pay for it, so having realistic expectations is key.
In NY, we submit offers as soon as they are presented and showings must be allowed unless the seller designates specific off limit times. All homes in all conditions do sell because there will always be buyers willing to buy them. The key element in real estate is location, location, and location. All good points in your posts.

I have only sold one house, purchased two, in my life so far. But we are slowly on the hunt for a new house, so I have been looking at homes. I agree with most of this, other than taking personal items out/off the walls. It never bothers me to see their family photos, to me, that’s what makes a house a home and lets me see that it was owned by well-loving people.

WOW, this is such solid advice. Selling a home really is emotional, and I love how you reminded people to think like a businessperson instead of just a homeowner. The decluttering and depersonalizing part is so important, even though it’s hard. And you are absolutely right about curb appeal and staging, those first impressions matter. So many helpful tips here for anyone getting ready to list.

By chance we are currently decluttering a property before we start work on it to prepare it for sale so this post couldn’t have come at a better time. This property was bought for a purpose but it is definitely time to sell it so thankfully we don’t have any emotional ties. We are doing a few updates to rooms including the kitchen but nothing major thankfully. Once this is done the home will be staged and hopefully sold for a fair rate. Wish me luck!!!

Maintaining a business mindset while people poke through your closets is definitely a major challenge. Listing in early spring was a strategic move to catch families before the new school year. Your advice on curb appeal is really helpful.
