Once you have a pending home sale, you may assume that you're free and clear: you're under contract. You've accepted the seller's offer. You're ready to sell your house and move forward.

Selling your home in today's real estate market can be very competitive. You need to do whatever you can to make your home more sellable. You don't have to spend a lot of money to make some changes that will make a big difference (and hopefully get your home sold rather quickly). 

Many homeowners wonder if staging is a necessary part of the selling process. They may think that the value of their house in terms of location, features, and upgrades is far more important than its presentation to potential buyers.

Closing the deal on your home after finding a buyer is a fantastic experience. You also need to understand that some closing costs are standard, but others depend on factors affecting a specific sale.

A home inspection is designed to help potential homebuyers get all the information they need on a home in order to make an informed decision before purchasing. During a home inspection, the inspector will analyze various aspects of the home, focusing on serious defects that will cost the potential buyer a lot of money on top of the purchase price. 

If you have an older home that's in good condition, but needs some work done before it's market-ready, how can you prepare to sell it? 

If you are selling your home for the first time, you may be caught off guard with the closing costs associated with the transaction that you'll be required to pay.
