If you’re like most people who are selling a home in DC Ranch, you know how important it is to stage it, how much it’s worth, and why it’s so important that you work with a knowledgeable DC Ranch REALTOR®. Those are all really important things to know – but here are three more tips you need to keep in mind.
3 Things to Remember When You’re Selling a Home in DC Ranch
Selling your home is a big deal, and even if you’ve sold plenty of houses in the past, here’s a quick refresher on a handful of things you need to remember this time around.
- Stay focused on the business end of your transaction.
- Set your price reasonably, keeping in mind current market conditions.
- Get your house ready to go.
Here’s a closer look at each.
Selling a Home in DC Ranch? Stay Focused on the Business End of Your Transaction
If you’re like most people, selling a home – particularly if you’ve lived there a long time – is an emotional experience. Even if you’re not especially attached to the house, the stress of selling can get to you. Being attached to a home, even if you’re ready to sell and move into something you like more (or if you’re down- or upsizing) can pose its own issues.
But once you decide to sell your home, think of yourself as a neutral investor. We’d tell you to forget that you’re a homeowner at all, but that’s nearly impossible to do. However, you should strive to look at your transaction from a purely financial perspective. That way, you can distance yourself a bit more… and selling becomes easier.

Selling a Home in DC Ranch? Set Your Price Reasonably
The first time your REALTOR comes to your home, you’ll most likely do a walk-through together. Your agent will take notes and ask you questions. Then, after your appointment, your REALTOR will compare your home to others in the area: those that have sold recently, those that are currently on the market, and those that were on the market but taken off without selling. The reason your agent will do this is to determine what price buyers are likely to be willing to pay for your home.

Staging is incredibly important when you’re trying to sell your home. It involves making your home as appealing as possible to prospective buyers. Your REALTOR may suggest that you hire a professional stager, but that’s not always necessary – just remember that staged homes sell faster (and for more money) than non-staged homes do.
