The home owner usually pays the commissions for all agents involved

If you are selling your home, typically you will pay your agents commission AND the buyers agents commission.
-
In this situation, the buyers do not pay a dime towards commissions.
-
Keep this in mind when preparing to sell your home.

Check for liens on your home by getting a preliminary title report

Worried you may have some suspicious liens against your property?
.
Ask a title company to get you a preliminary title report.
.
Study the report and look for any weird liens that might pop up.
.
Get these items cleared before putting your home on the market. If you don't, there will be major delays during escrow.

Remove all time stamps from your homes marketing pictures

Save the time stamps for your personal family pictures... and not when trying to sell the most expensive item you personally own (your home).
.
If your agent leaves a time stamp at the bottom of your properties marketing pictures, not only is it unprofessional, its lazy.
.
Call your agent out on it!
.
Happy Mother's Day!

I have an upcoming open house, what should I do with all my clutter?

Clutter kills deals. Remember that when you are preparing your home for sale.

To have a clean home for your open house, fill your car up with all of your clutter

Clutter in your home will have buyers thinking that the home has no storage areas and is ultimately to small for them.
.
Let's avoid that!
.
Just before your open house, take all of your junk that is laying around your house and throw it in your car.
.
Yes, your car will be a disaster for a few hours... but who cares, your trying to sell the most expensive thing you own, your house!
.
Oh... and this is free to do...

This is why this Van Nuys home never sold

Does this picture make you fall in love with the house?

Personally, it served as a good reminder for me to take out my trash.

If you want top dollar, don't make your home sale contingent upon you finding a replacement property

You will have less agents showing your home if you have this contingency.
-
Most agents want to get paid now and they don't want to wait around for you to find your next home.
-
Less agents showing your home means less of a chance of a bidding war... and that means less money for you.

Keep your utilities on until all of your home buyers contingencies are removed

The buyers general inspector needs all the utilities on in order to do a full inspection.
-
If anything is off, the inspector will have to come back out to the property at a later date.
-
This is a waste of time for everyone!
