How to Sell House Smart:
Move Forward With MoreTM

For all home owners, the choice is simple: either sell house "smart" or suffer (needlessly). Because selling a house slowly, for less money, is painful, costly, avoidable and simply . . . not smart!

Enough already. We've declared war on the wrong way to sell your house.

Enhancing Equity One House at a Time!SM
Are there home prep options or DIY fixes home sellers can afford and use in any market/price range to get house ready & sell fast for more money, i.e. smart?

Does the original house price matter or affect how to sell house smart?

Have any free before and after pictures so you can see how to sell your house smart?

Yes, yes & YES!

What Happens When Sellers
Do Not Get the House Ready to Sell First

Actually, our clients inspired us. Many sought our assistance to stage and help sell house smart-er after months on market with no offers.

Add to that stale listing an unsuccessful price reduction, a second mortgage (from the new dream or downsize house), or long distance living (after a spouse is transferred), the loss of a job, divorce, possible foreclosure, or any other reasons to sell houses, and the avoidable mistakes made first create painful, financially devastating consequences later.

Non-client sellers inspired us as well - all those who assumed they needed no home staging & no fixes first and sold their houses anyway.

What is the consequence here?

These home sellers left money on the table. They missed out on multiple offers (bidding wars) and failed to sell their houses for thousands of dollars over asking price, or for stale listings they either sold after giving up thousands of dollars in forced price reduction(s) or they simply accepted the first, "close enough" offer.

Lesson learned: leaving money on the table is not how to sell house smart, either.

The Solution: to Sell House Smart, Get Ready First

Want to know how to sell house smart, maximize your equity and profit whenever you sell your house?

So did we, which is why we went beyond a "to do list" and created a free 7 step "sell house smart" action plan (with lots of before and after pictures) for home owners and a professional Protocol for real estate agents and real estate-related products & service providers.

Hint: get ready first to sell house smart. Click here to find out why we developed our free sell house smart action plan (and professional Protocol) and incorporated both into free DIY Home Staging and House Prep Clinics.

Our free action plan, i.e. 7 simple steps for smart home owners, balances Condition (house systems, structures, components) with Presentation (house prep/marketing/home staging).

Our Free Get Ready First Pictures Are Worth Thousands
of Dollars for You in Faster Home Selling for More Money!

And did we mention free pictures? Well, we have hundreds of pictures proving that what we know is true. . . really is true for selling your house smart.

From DIY staging pictures to curb appeal pictures, from depersonalizing some seriously personal decor choices to find it first and fix it home fixes, along with decluttering extremely over-filled spaces.

Plus with each before and after picture we include detailed descriptions of what was done and why, how quickly the home sold (after the sellers got ready to sell smart), & more.

What Home Owners Must Know and Should Do

What follows you must know and should do to sell house smart (i.e. faster, for more money). Because every seller can be(come) smart, our goal is to transform residential real estate with "tough love" through 7 simple steps.

And you can help us stop the stupidity tm (pain and unprofitability) of traditional home resale: list first and (maybe) fix things later, sell house slowly for less money, if at all. Yikes!

Home Equity is a Terrible Thing To Waste

Everyone can (and should) get smart about owning her home and selling house smart. Most mistakes home sellers make are avoidable & costly (and therefore, not smart).

However, the fixes and home prep begin first - as soon as you buy your home and long before you even think about selling your house.

Let's Do the Math

To get ready first and sell house smart, you spend less money now on key home fixes and earn more later when you sell your house, in less time. Plus your family enjoys these fixes in the meantime (the year(s) before you re-sell your house).

OR

You can do less now before listing your house and pay much more later - when your house won't sell and your options shrink with your reduced/lost equity.

It is your choice, but remember, the smart, most affordable & profitable option is to get ready first.

Regardless, in order to sell, smart or otherwise, you should price your house correctly first. This is crucial to get house ready to sell smart. Click here to learn more.

We know this to be true: in every case, avoiding the first price reduction saves you money, reduces time on market and likely increases your equity/return on investment or ROI at closing.

Avoiding all price reductions while selling in the shortest period of time is much better than . . . losing 100% of your first price reduction and paying months+ of extra (avoidable) mortgage payments while waiting 100+ days on market!
