Preparing To Sell Reno Real Estate
Why Sell?
What’s motivating your decision to sell? Are you looking for more space, relocating to a new neighborhood or school district, or moving to a different city or state? While the reasons may feel obvious, it’s important to consider how each choice could impact your lifestyle, finances, and future opportunities. Having a clear understanding of your goals allows us to create the best strategy to meet your financial, lifestyle, and real estate objectives.
When Should I Sell?
Defining your timeline is a crucial first step. If you need to move quickly — for example, due to a job transfer or personal circumstances — your agent will work with you to expedite the process through a detailed market analysis and tailored action plan. If your timing is more flexible, we’ll review current market conditions together and determine the most advantageous time to list your property.

Other Things To Consider
What Is The Market Like?
Typically, homes sell more frequently in the summer months because they look their best - lawns are green and flowers are blooming. Nice landscaping can be very attractive to buyers. Many families will buy in the summer months because they want their kids to finish out the school year before they move. Economic conditions also determine real estate demands. Selling your house during periods of low interest rates can benefit you because buyers will obtain mortgage loans more easily. Periods of low unemployment and pent-up demand also ensures an accessible pool of potential buyers. We will help you determine the best selling price for your property by looking at a myriad of factors including the current market value, comparable properties, amenities, finances, repairs, square footage, and more.
How Do I Optimize My Finances?
Selling your property is a big financial decision. It requires an in-depth look at your current financial situation, as well as future opportunities. Many independent property owners overestimate the value of their home. This leads to properties sitting idly on the market for long periods of time. On the flip side, if you price your property too low, you could cheat yourself out of thousands of dollars. Having an experienced agent on your side will prevent you from making these mistakes. When you work with us, we will create a detailed report so you can easily assess the financial impact of selling your property. We will also help you create effective tax saving and estate planning strategies. We are committed to helping you take control of your finances and using them to their full potential.
What Is the Property Worth?
Without a professional agent, most independent property sellers tend to overestimate the value of their property. You can avoid this pitfall by consulting with an experienced real estate listing agent.
You can do a lot to increase the appeal of your property and to create a lasting impact on potential buyers.
Free Home ValuationWhat To Do To Prepare:
1] Curb Appeal. First impressions matter. Keep your lawn neatly maintained, and depending on the season, consider adding fresh greenery or colorful flowers to create an inviting exterior.
2] Polish The Details. Small updates can make a big impact. Simple improvements like repairing windows, refreshing carpets and tile, or adding a new coat of paint help highlight your property’s best features.
3] Clean And Staged. There is beauty in simplicity. Remove the extra personal items and clutter to keep a cleaner look. Your agent may suggest adding mirrors to certain walls, fresh flowers to dining tables or candles in the kitchen.
4] Disclosures And Inspections. If your property has any known issues, we’ll guide you through creating a clear disclosure statement. We’ll also ensure necessary inspections and repairs are completed when critical concerns arise.
5] Time To Show. Buyers are often more comfortable discussing the property directly with an agent. Your agent will present your home’s best qualities and use their expertise to focus on key selling points and negotiation factors.
Tips For Selling
Give Your House a Deep Clean
First impressions are everything. Before listing your property, ensure it shines from top to bottom. This includes scrubbing bathrooms, cleaning toilets, wiping down surfaces, mopping floors, and refreshing rugs. For best results, consider hiring professional cleaners to make your home truly move-in ready.
Declutter The Home
A clutter-free home allows buyers to focus on the property itself, rather than being distracted by personal items or mess. Clear away piles of mail, laundry, and other unnecessary items so potential buyers can easily imagine their own belongings in the space. Organized, open rooms create a stronger emotional connection and enhance the home’s appeal.
Call a Handyman
Before putting your home on the market, address any needed fixes — from leaky faucets to squeaky doors. Calling in a handyman to take care of small repairs demonstrates that the home has been well maintained, giving buyers added confidence in its condition.
Paint the Walls
Not only is painting a great way to clean up the walls but making the overall color scheme neutral will increase the appeal to potential buyers, making it easier for them to envision their belongings in the house - get rid of any bright, outdated paint colors and go with a neutral palette throughout the house.
Increase Your Curb Appeal
The outside aesthetic of your home is just important as the inside. Give buyers a good feeling before they even open the front door. Landscaping, mulching, flowers, pressure washing the driveway and exterior of the home are all simple ways to increase the value of your home.
Stage Your Home
Staged homes tend to fill quickly because they feel homier - if you have neutral furniture that you can leave in the home, do it, otherwise consider a professional staging company.
Depersonalize Your Home
You want to leave a few nice, framed photos around the house to make the home appear inviting and lived in, but in general, removing your very personal items, such as family photos will let the potential buyers see their photos in those places, versus yours.
