A good realtor, like a good doctor, is rare. The negative reputation of the profession has been created by unqualified specialists and scammers who are only trying to make money and not provide real help.
This does not mean that it is better to carry out the transaction on your own, without knowing all the nuances and legal subtleties. Try to be more careful in your search for a real estate agent and find a specialist you can trust.
Hire a Home Inspector Before You List Your Home for Sale
Hiring a home inspector is usually done by interested people who already have a view of your home. But if you live in an area where there are a lot of homes for sale, the best way to stand out is to have a "Verified" sign.
Home buyers will drive by and see that you've already had a full inspection, everything inside is in order, and they won't need to invest any more money. But there may be another option - they will want to hire another person for complete confidence. Ask the inspector to show you the top 5 or 10 quick repairs and let him advise you on what needs to be done before selling. Fix everything that needs it, and then start showing off your property.

Excursion showing of the house
Have you ever been on a tour of houses that are for sale? They are like well-dressed women, or like expensive hotel rooms: stylish, modern, but not overdone. Go to a couple of these events and take a cue from their design. In most cases, you will notice spacious, open rooms with beautiful, stylish furniture .
The tables will be decorated for dinner, there will be a vase of flowers and crystal dishes on them; kitchens with new countertops; the windows are dressed in high quality hall curtains ; the floors will be sparkling and refreshments will be offered to all guests.
Repeat all this at home - make the room clean, neat, laconic, with a modern design that almost everyone likes, in a word - a dream home . Buyers love to look at luxurious interiors, so consider all the ideas to make your home luxurious.
How to choose - the right purchase of a private house in the village
Now, let's talk about how to choose the right home so that the purchase does not become a problem in which you will immediately have to invest money, i.e. do makeovers.
Your inspection of the house must begin with the roof. If the roof of a house is damaged from the outside, repairing it will take a lot of time and financial costs. The condition of the roof significantly affects the price of the house, so bargaining in this case is appropriate, but first, it is worth checking the house immediately after the rain. Then, all the flaws will be more obvious, and it won’t be a bad idea to look for roof leaks in the attic, also after rain.
If everything is in order, then you will save yourself a lot of hassle before tackling general home renovations. It happens that the roof does not leak much, somewhere in the middle of the roof, although this is true, it will be very easy to solve it later. It may be necessary to replace beams, and maybe rafters, and even more so, rotten ceiling boards will be even easier to replace.

The basement in the house, if there is one, is the next place of inspection, by the way, a mandatory inspection. If the floor in the basement is made of wood, and the ground around the base logs is soft, and the logs themselves have turned to dust, then the future and necessary process of renovating the basement can seriously hit your wallet - this is another reason to haggle over the price of the house. You can check the wood in the basement quite simply, by the way, not only by touch - just hammer in a nail.
Once your home's attic and basement have passed your inspection, it's time to take a close look at the outside. You may not have noticed during the initial inspection, but it is quite possible that upon careful inspection you will notice that the house has settled and the roof elements are lopsided somewhere. Another reason to haggle over the value of your home. www.worldluxrealty.com/node/2658
What else should you inspect before buying a house? If you are buying a house in a village or country house, it is highly desirable to have a stove or fireplace that will help you stay warm in winter.
Pack half of your belongings before showing the house.
It may seem like a lot of work, but by removing half of your stuff, your home will look less crowded, cleaner, and more spacious. Go through all the closets, remove those clothes that you definitely won’t need for a few months. In the kitchen, hide away anything you don't use every day. Also pay attention to personal photos and home decor , because they may turn off buyers.
Essentially, getting rid of what you don't need will give your rooms an extra sense of freedom. People want large, airy spaces that they can imagine themselves in, not cluttered spaces filled with other people's personal belongings. Once you've done that, start thinking about moving to a new home, and read this article about 10 things to know before buying a new home in 2014.

Ask a Truthful Friend for Advice Before You Put Your House on the Market
Sometimes we don't really see what's happening in our home. We don’t notice the boxes of porridge, which when folded spoil the overall picture; We don’t pay attention to how the large leather chair in the office blocks the amazing view of our yard, and all because we see this picture every day, we have simply become accustomed to everything over the past years of living here.
Only a good, honest friend can tell you what's wrong. Have him walk through all the rooms and note those items that could serve as a “distraction” for potential buyers. Of course, you can hire a realtor for this matter, but, firstly, this is paid, and secondly, this is a stranger, as opposed to someone close to you. Moreover, you will listen to the second with the greatest success, while you may not want to listen to the first.
We all want our property to be sold as quickly as possible. Here are the main things we can note (in brief): think creatively, use new, unconventional ideas; hire a home inspector; dive into creating media advertising; organize a guided tour; put away things you don't need; listen to your friend's words to remove anything that might turn off buyers.
These methods, along with all the typical preparations, will undoubtedly make your home stand out above all others in the eyes of buyers.
