Today I wanted to offer five tips that all home sellers should be aware of when listing their home on the Wilmington market.

1. Clear the clutter. Start with three piles: a donate pile, a toss pile, and a keep pile. There are a lot of great local charities that you can help by donating things you don’t want or need anymore.

2. Start packing. Start packing up meaningful things that have sentimental value, like family photos. You want buyers to come into your home and imagine themselves living there, not look at photos of the previous owner.

3. Research the local market. You can start right here on our website with our market reports. You can also get a good idea of what area homes are selling for and what your home might sell for.

4. Make any repairs or improvements. I highly recommend getting a pre-listing home inspection before putting your home on the market. That way, you can have the handyman or contractor of your choice fix any needed repairs. Then, knock out the checklist items like painting and carpeting.

5. Be realistic. Create realistic expectations with your agent for your listing price and how long your home will be on the market. We want to make sure everyone is on the same page before the house is listed.

If you have any questions about these tips or you’re thinking about buying or selling a Wilmington home, give me a call or send me an email soon. I’d be happy to help you.
