The number one most important factor in selling a home is the asking price.  Price it too high and no one will come to see it – no one will buy it.  So the first step is to price your home correctly taking into consideration the location, current market conditions, market trends, overall condition, and appeal of your home.

The second most important factor that will affect your ability to sell the home is the condition of the property.  Is it clean and well-maintained?  Has it been updated?  Does it need extensive repairs and renovations?  How is the drive-up appeal?

A home that is in poor condition will sell if priced correctly but a home that is in excellent condition will not sell if it is overpriced.

Pro Tip:  When it comes time to sell your home, professional home sellers recommend that you engage the services of an experienced real estate agent.  For many sellers, the best option is a full-service discount real estate agent, like the Mac Realty Team located in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. 

Full service-discount agents like Mac Realty Team have extensive experience and will provide the comprehensive service a seller prefers but typically charge thousands less in fees.
