There are many things to consider when selling a home, but here are some basic house selling tips. Make sure you look at the price of homes around you. You dont want to under price your home, but at the same time, you dont want to have your home so high in price, that people dont even take the time to stop in and see all you have to offer. Next, make sure your home is clean. This doesnt mean stuffing your closets full of clothes, or piling papers in a neat stack on your desk. Potential buyers will be looking through closets, and will be seeing whats on your desk. Paint any walls that need to be painted, steam clean carpets, or wash the floors. Make sure that all the lights work, and that there arent any odors in any of the rooms.
