If you want the experience to be as smooth as possible, prepping early and enlisting help are key.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to make sure you\u2019re primed for a fast and profitable home sale? Here\u2019s what you can do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Focus on curb appeal.<\/span><\/strong> Curb appeal can make a huge difference, so spend time painting the shutters, power-washing the exterior and tidying up the landscaping to make sure your home catches buyers\u2019 eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\"><strong>Declutter and clean.<\/strong> <\/span>Pare down your belongings and get the house looking cleaner than ever. You want it to be pristine for any listing photos and videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Have an exit plan.<\/span><\/strong> Showings can be tricky, especially if you have kids or pets. Make sure you have a plan for how you\u2019ll keep the home clean, and know where you\u2019ll go when a showing is scheduled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Know your next steps.<\/span><\/strong> Where will you go after you sell? In a hot market, it may be hard to find a home to buy right away. Make sure you have a backup plan, like a friend\u2019s house or a rental you can use in the meantime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\"><strong>Prep for the costs.<\/strong> <\/span>Selling isn\u2019t free. You\u2019ll need to budget for things like repairs, upgrades, staging costs and commissions. If you\u2019re buying a new home, you\u2019ll have additional costs, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you need help with your sale or want to find out how much your home is worth? <a href=\"http:\/\/HowardHanna.com\/Camillus\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"http:\/\/HowardHanna.com\/Camillus\">Reach out today.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you thinking about selling your home?&nbsp; Supply is low<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[12,976,13,6,1100],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2666","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-events","category-life","category-listings","category-real-estate","category-social-media"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","chromenews-featured":"","chromenews-large":"","chromenews-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"Being BOB","author_link":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/author\/admin\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/category\/stuff\/events\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Events<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/category\/life\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Life<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/category\/real-estate\/listings\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Listings<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/category\/real-estate\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Real Estate<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/category\/social-media\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Social Media<\/a>","tag_info":"Social Media","comment_count":"0","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p822aG-H0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2666","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2666"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2666\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2666"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2666"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beingbobblog.com\/happy-holidays\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2666"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
