Home Selling

It's been said that the only thing in real estate that is more confusing than purchasing a home is selling one – especially if you've never done it before. Where to start? Who to turn to?


These are good questions and – lucky you – the answers are right here within the pages of ActiveRain, the top real estate social network on the planet.


Within our content library you'll find more millions of articles, written by the pros, on home selling topics like how to choose a listing agent, the questions to ask before hiring one, how to stage the home and create curb appeal. What happens if the appraisal comes in lower than the amount the buyer has offered? Is an offer from a buyer with a conventional loan approval better than one from an FHA buyer?

When selling your home, the kitchen can be a make-or-break selling point. While a total overhaul is not necessary, you want the kitchen to look its very best so house hunters are wowed when they walk into the room. Install new hardware on drawers and cabinets. Classic styles are best for a kitchen that will soon be on the market, and less expensive. Spruce up the cabinets! White and other neutrals give a clean look and brighten up the space, and all work well with pops of trendy color around the kitchen.

Something as simple as adding trim to create a paneled door-look can make your cabinets l...

For most homeowners, selling a home feels less like a straightforward transaction and more like taking on a second job. A job that doesn’t just demand your money but also your most precious resource: time.

But cash offer came in yesterday.  The Sunday contract that came in was a excellent offer but then Realtor called yesterday morning and said her people need to cancel the contract.  Lucky I also had a cash offer that we received also on Sunday but one clients wanted the more money one.  I called that cash offer agent and explain to him what happen and he called his agent and not back on the market  and his client jumped at it.Some time this happens and works out.
