Here are some marketing tips for selling a home. 

• Before putting your house up for sale you need to give it the once over, so that you know in detail exactly what you are offering.
  
  

• To be an effective home seller, you need to acquire as much knowledge as necessary about the selling process. Do your homework thoroughly.

• Get your current home sold before agreeing to buy another. This ensures you are not under any undue pressure to sell at a disadvantageous time or price.

• It is better to have rooms that can be used as bedrooms, furnished as such, and not set up for another use, such as a computer room or 'boys room'. It is far better to be able to offer a three bedroom property than a two bedroom with the possibility of conversion to three. Show them the three bedrooms.
  
  
• Major home improvements for a house sale should only be undertaken if:
  • They will add real value to the property.
  • They are needed to bring the house up to a minimum standard.
    

• Bathrooms - having both a bath and a shower sells property!
  

• Make a checklist of everything that needs to have been done on the day you move out.
  

• Have a well thought out plan for dealing with enquiries.
