Selling your home is probably one of the biggest transactions you’ll make in your life and one that will certainly affect your financial future.  Here are the secrets you need to know to sell your home for the most money the market will pay, and on your own terms and time frame.   Step #1:  Understand What The TOTAL Market Is Doing, And Get The FULL FACTS.  Don’t just rely on local market information to determine the right price for your home.  Ask your REALTOR® for a “total market overview.”   What’s happening in general and how does that compare with what’s happening in this market (are growth rates the same, lower or higher)?  Now you need the specifics about your neighborhood.  What homes are on the market and what homes have (or haven’t) sold in the last 6-12 months?  A REALTOR® w...
