Conditioning prepares the title for easy transfer of title by ensuring that any defects like liens or judgments are not attached to the title. It is very important to remove all title defects because if these defects reveal themselves after the close of escrow, the buyer could sue under the title insurance policy for damages, and win.
Staging your home prepares it to be competitively appealing and attractive with upgrades like lightening and brightening, de-cluttering, landscaping, painting, and carpeting that could bring back a return of up to 800% on the money invested. The Home Staging Resource lists the kinds of upgrades you can make and the return possible.
Pricing Right involves experience and wisdom. Every home and every city has a variety of qualities that affect home values, and if you are selling a home in Tampa Bay, Wesley Chapel, Riverview, Land O Lakes, Lutz, Brandon, and Odessa, then you need a Realtor who lives and sells a lot of homes in those areas and knows how to price your home to sell, too. But be careful, only ethical Realtors will set a realistic price. They will convince you that your home is worth far more than it really is, so that you will be persuaded to list with them and not the Realtor who told you the truth about the value of your home. Then when it’s clear that you cannot sell your home for that price, your agent will convince you that you need to lower the price, but by that time several weeks and months have already been wasted.

Marketing homes today requires much more than putting an advertisement in the local paper. People today find homes on the web, so Realtors need to be using the latest technology to make homes available to web visitors, like movie or virtual tours.
The best way to find a Realtor that will implement these strategies for you is to interview them first. During the interview process, ask how many years they have been actively selling homes (not once in a while for a friend), how many homes they have sold, and what their strategies for marketing are. Narrow your search down to Realtors who have a variety of marketing strategies as mentioned above, about 4-5 years of active home selling experience, and around 50 closed escrows. And try to talk to some of their clients to see if they are satisfied with the attention, ethics, and overall service.

Don’t get sidetracked by how many listings a Realtor has in Riverview or Odessa, for instance; what matters is the effectiveness of their marketing strategies to get the listings sold.
