Selling your first home? Congrats! The selling process is exciting, stressful, and rewarding all at once, and it helps to have a good idea of what you’re doing before you get started.
Whether you’re feeling a little lost or just looking for some quick tips and tricks, I’ve got you covered. Check out this short guide to everything you need to know about selling your home in the Nashville area.
Know Your Worth
One of the biggest mistakes a seller can make? Not knowing what their home is actually worth. Pricing your house can actually be pretty tricky—especially if it’s your first time selling. If you price too low, you’ll miss out on maximizing your investment, but if you price too high, you won’t attract any interested buyers.
Luckily, you don’t have to navigate the ins and outs of the market on your own. Since I have years of experience in the area, I know a thing or two about predicting market trends. I’ll also help you price your home through a free home analysis! Just tell me your address and a little info, and I’ll do the rest of the digging to find out what price is best for your interests.

Get Your Home Ready
One of the most important parts of a successful home sale is a standout home staging. You’ll essentially be setting the stage for buyers to imagine themselves in your home, so everything should be in the best shape possible. Clean more than you’ve ever cleaned before, declutter to maximize space, depersonalize your decor, and get a friend or expert’s opinion on how to up your staging game.
If you play your cards right, a proper home staging can get you a better price than usual for your home. At the very least, it leaves a strong impression on the buyers. Need helping packing things up before staging? Check out a few of these tips.
