13. Consider painting! – Probably the best dollar-for-dollar investment for selling your home fast is fresh paint. Neutral colors are best. Next to fresh paint, new carpeting if replaced for either condition or color can make a huge difference when selling by for sale by owner.

14. Unfortunately you can not trust everybody! – Anything that has a monetary or personal value and easily concealed should be packed away. You will not know everybody that comes into your house, and it is best to be safe rather than sorry.

15. Do not put money into your home that you will not get back! – Keep in mind that if you do extensive remodeling you run the risk of over-improving your home, you might not be able to recoup your investment when you sell. If your improvements will push your homes value to more than 20% over the average neighboring home values then do not expect to recoup the entire cost. However, some major projects, like replacing a roof or deck, should be done if they are needed.

16. It is a good idea to have someone with you! – Never show your house by yourself. You do not want all your friends over scaring and making perspective buyers uncomfortable when showing your house, but do not show it alone.

I don’t want anybody to get their nose out of joint but you will notice that I called it property and not your home. When selling for sale by owner you have to put your personal feelings and emotions aside until your property is sold. If your an investor this won’t be a problem.

The truth is your property is going be a home to another family or purchased by another investor. You will have to prepare your house so that perspective buyer’s can see and feel themselves in their new home.
