Selling your Home in Cincinnati
by Matt Clark, Cincinnati Realtor

Are you thinking about selling your Cincinnati home in 2009? Well now is the time to get started planning! The last thing you want to do is put your home on the market when it is “half ready.” The first few days and weeks that your Cincinnati home is on the market is when it will get the most viewings from potential buyers. To make the best impression, your home has to be in showroom shape from day one! It may seem overwhelming to sell your home, and it is even more challenging in this competitive market but hiring the right Realtor will help your prioritize your time and focus on the important areas. Here are some quick tips..

Call your Realtor. Involve us as soon as possible. We’ll streamline the preparation of your home for the market and we provide valuable insight into what Cincinnati buyers are looking for today.
Do easy fix ups. When buyers see chipping paint, peeling wallpaper, or overgrown landscaping, they see huge dollar signs. A coat of paint and a few weekends of work are very inexpensive compared to reducing your asking price.
Ask about a professional stager. Does your home need a lot of help or just a little? We have relationships with professional stagers that will come look at your house and get it in tiptop shape. This can be very inexpensive for a consultation but can get more expensive if you rent furniture or use other services.
Ask to see your Realtor’s marketing plan. This Cincinnati real estate market is more competitive than ever. You must choose your Realtor based on their marketing plan and track record, not out of a feeling of obligation towards someone.
De-clutter, de-clutter, de-clutter. Pack that stuff up! You are moving!

Lots of Cincinnati homes are still selling everyday! This Cincinnati real estate market is competitive but not impossible by any means. Start with having your Realtor come out and do an honest evaluation of your home’s condition and your local market conditions. Then roll up your sleeves, a little work will go a long way!
