There are several tips to keep in mind while listing your Houston home for sale. Following these tips will greatly increase your chance of getting the best deal for your Houston area home.

  • Besides spring, the best time to put your house on the market if you plan on buying another home is when interest rates are low. Low rates benefit both buyers and sellers, and you'll be both.

  • Before deciding on an agent, ask how many homes they've sold in the past year and how many homes were in your neighborhood. And, ask to see a comprehensive market analysis and have them explain in detail how they're going to market your home. It's important to know your seller is working to earn their commission.

  • When you hire an agent, you'll sign a listing agreement. Commit to no more than three months. If the agent's doing a good job for you and you're happy with how things are going, then you can always renew. If not, then you're free to pursue another agent.

  • Get your house in shape. Got clutter? Get rid of it. Need painting? Use neutral colors. Consider updating if your house is really outdated. Make your home as appealing as can be to buyers. Keeping a house in spotless condition is a lot of work, but it will make prospective homebuyers more receptive your house's charms.

  • Consider an incentive to buyers. For instance, offer to pay a portion of the closing costs. Or if work still needs to be done on the house, you could make allowances (carpet, paint, etc..) for a certain dollar amount to be paid after the deal closes.

  • Understand the home selling process and learn about negotiating. Knowing as much as you can could save you thousands of dollars.

  • Be realistic about your asking price, the time it takes to sell a house, the process and the market. If you go in thinking it will take only a week and you'll get exactly your asking price, you'll most likely be disappointed. Be realistic and you'll have a much better experience.
