Why FSBO Isn't All It's Cracked Up to Be
It's not uncommon for a seller's thoughts to wander toward the idea of selling their home by themself. At first glance, it seems like an expedient way to sell their home and save money in the process. However, our REALTORS® caution that the process isn't as easy as it may seem, and even the most seasoned seller can make costly mistakes that an agent would avoid.

Time is Money
Selling a home requires a significant investment of time. You need to prepare marketing materials, schedule appraisals, and prepare the house before you even list it. Once the home is on the market, you'll spend hours each day answering phone calls, responding to emails, and preparing to host an open house. It's akin to taking on a second job, which can affect job performance and the ability to connect and close the deal with prospective buyers.

Open House Prep: Don't Overlook These Rooms
As you prepare your home for an open house, our REALTORS® want to remind you that your entire property needs to be presented in the best light. Although many homeowners wisely invest in remodeling their kitchens, bathrooms and master suites, some sellers tend to forget just how important smaller rooms of their homes are. We insist that you don't overlook these rooms when planning your open house.
- Laundry Room
The laundry room is an essential room that should be prioritized during the showing. Buyers desire clean, organized spaces that make doing weekly laundry convenient. Stage this area with towels, laundry supplies and even an ironing board or clothing rack to present buyers with a space that feels accessible and functional.

Ramp Up Your Fall Curb Appeal with These Tips
Mansfield homes for sale have plenty of potential for great curb appeal. Our REALTORS® know this is a truly essential factor in making sure your home gets sold promptly. The faster a home is sold, the more likely it is that you'll get the price you want. With that in mind, a good first impression benefits you. That's what curb appeal is all about!
Even if your home isn't going to be on the market for a while, there are things you can do in every season to keep your home's curb appeal up. Fall is particularly important. Let's take a closer look at the best things to do for curb appeal in fall:
- Wash the Outside of Your Windows
There's more than love in the air in spring and summer – there's also pollen. Airborne irritants from way back during first bloom can settle into a film on your windows that lasts all the way until fall. Bring your home up to date by power-washing the windows.

7 Home-Selling Tips You Should Ignore
Doesn't it seem like everyone you know becomes a real estate expert when they hear that you're trying to sell your home? While friends, family, and colleagues have good intentions when offering real estate advice, they're often relying on outdated info or common misconceptions about the real estate industry. It's so much easier to sell a home when you tune out the noise, ignore advice that doesn't work, and focus on tips from pros with their finger on the pulse of the industry. Our REALTORS® are here to help, with seven home-selling tips you should ignore.
- "Spring is the only time to sell your home."
Yes, real estate shoppers often hit the market in force during the spring months, but that hardly means that spring is the only time to sell. When you list during the busiest months, you also have to deal with increased competition. Selling your home during the winter or other "slower" months can be a great option because there are still people looking for homes and you'll have less competition for their attention.
