The Best Way To Sell Your House

Declutter

Decluttering is essential when preparing to sell a house because it creates a clean, spacious, and inviting environment that allows potential buyers to envision themselves living there. Removing excess items and personal belongings also helps highlight the property's features and allows for better presentation during showings, increasing the chances of a quicker and more successful sale.

Photos

Professional photos are crucial when prepping to sell a house because they capture the property's best angles, lighting, and overall appeal, making it stand out in online listings. High-quality images not only attract more potential buyers but also convey a sense of professionalism and trustworthiness, ultimately enhancing the chances of selling the house at a favorable price.

Exposure

Exposure from a professional real estate agent is essential when prepping to sell a house because they have an extensive network and marketing expertise to reach a wider audience of potential buyers. Their industry knowledge and strategies ensure that your property is showcased effectively, increasing the likelihood of a faster and more successful sale.

“Homeowners insurance is a crucial step in your journey to home ownership, in fact, you may not be able to obtain a mortgage without it. Your policy will cover both your property and events that may happen on your property. There are three basic kinds of homeowners insurance: actual cash value, replacement cost, and guaranteed or extended replacement cost..” - Seth Godin

Homeowners Insurance | Lone Star National Bank

Comparing insurance policies for coverage and price is always an important first step! Make sure you know the particulars or your coverage, and what it does and does not cover – for example, floods and other natural disasters are usually not covered by hone insurance. Your location, type, and age of home as well as your personal history will determine the cost of your coverage.

Quick Takeaways

Homeowners insurance is what is known as a “package policy” – this means it covers both actual, physical property and legal responsibility for injuries that happen while on that property
There are 3 common levels of coverage: actual cash value, replacement cost, and guaranteed/extended replacement cost
Beware weather exceptions – standard policies do not cover flooding, earthquakes, or poor maintenance

I started working with Malissa over 2 years ago. I was looking for houses in St. George because I wanted to retire in Utah. She would always find time to show us houses whenever we were in town. She kept in touch the entire time with monthly newsletters and periodic calls. She also showed us all of the wonderful things to do in St. George area. When we told her we loved to ballroom dance, she found us a ballroom dance teacher and a dance hall. She went over and above. I would highly recommend her.
