What’s Your Plan?"},"content":{"rendered":"

The 2018 selling market is seeing rising prices, but inventories according to Kiplinger<\/a> are still low and length of time on the market may be an issue for home-sellers.<\/p>\n

So, how should prospective sellers proceed?<\/p>\n

Professional organizers will always advise that before you begin a project, you need to have a plan… and selling a house is no small project. Here are project steps that you can apply right away to get that house on the market!<\/p>\n

Know Your Goal<\/h2>\n

\"Goal<\/p>\n

Ask yourself:\u00a0What is my goal?<\/em>\u00a0 Okay. Admittedly, that sounds like a silly question – my goal is to sell my house of course! Well, naturally. But “selling” the house is the goal put into one, sweeping, broad term. The true goal is much more specific than that.\u00a0 In clearer, more explicit terms, I could say:<\/p>\n

My goal is to sell my house for a minimum of $375K, as quickly as possible (in less than 1 month) so we can go to closing before August 15th this year, because my kids start school on September 6th, and we are closing on the house we’re buying on July 28th and don’t want to carry 2 mortgages for over a month.<\/em><\/p>\n

This<\/strong> is a specific goal. It answers the questions:\u00a0 What?\u00a0 How Much?\u00a0 By When? and\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 These are questions that, with a little thought and discussion, provide a realistic<\/em>\u00a0goal.\u00a0 So, I ask you as a home seller, what is your<\/em> goal?<\/p>\n

How will You Reach This Goal?<\/h2>\n

Okay, so you’ve identified your goal. Now, the next question to answer is:\u00a0\u00a0How will I reach it?<\/em><\/p>\n

To use or not to use a realtor, that is the question.<\/h3>\n
