Sellers are hoping to sell more properties this 2011. Since there are millions of foreclosures and shorts sales flooding the market which caused the home values to get lower, sellers will be facing more challenges this year. And while it has been a pretty lousy year for home sellers, here are some new year’s resolutions that a home seller should include on his list this 2011:

1. I will get my home into ’selling shape‘ Cleaning your home is a must especially if you are putting in on the market. Get rid of old things, items, furniture, or appliances that you are not using but just storing in the garage, cabinets, storage areas, or attic. Neutralize your home by putting away personal belongings. You can hire a home stager to fix your home or update anything like the landscaping, or wall paint.

2. I will have a comparative market analysis report done by two or more real estate agents Each agent will have a different idea about how much your house is worth and what kind of marketing plan will work to sell your home quickly and profitably. One agent is not enough even if he is good. You need more opinions from different real estate firms to tell you how much your house is worth as well as the marketing strategy that you need to use. A CMA report can help you evaluate the price of your home in order to get the best deal in your property.

3. I will read more about real estate market news Read real estate news, and current real estate marketing trends Find out about what types of homes are selling nowadays and how long they usually stay in the market. Being informed about today’s real estate market condition is necessary and the key to selling a property in today’s market.

4. I will not only think about how much I can get Do not be greedy once the first offer of the home buyer is over the minimal acceptable price tag you’ve set. Your purpose in selling is to shake hands with the buyer at the closing where every one goes home happy.

Each and every home vendor have to realize that they have to exceed a residence purchaser’s expectation with the right price tag because if they do, they will surely get an offer that is more than what they are expecting.
