If you're a long-time homeowner in El Sereno who is thinking about selling your home soon, you've come to the right place. As a local realtor with Compass and a background in interior design, I have a unique perspective on what it takes to get your home ready for the market. In this blog post, I'll be sharing my top tips and insights on what you need to know to sell your El Sereno home successfully.

1. Start with a Plan

Before you start the selling process, it's important to have a plan in place. This includes determining your timeline, setting a budget, and deciding on a strategy for selling your home. Are you going to work with a real estate agent, or sell your home on your own? Do you plan to make any upgrades or improvements before selling, or sell your home as is? These are all important factors to consider before putting your home on the market.

2.  Clean, Declutter, and Stage

One of the most important things you can do to get your home ready to sell is to clean, declutter, and stage it. This means removing personal items and excess furniture to make your home look more spacious and inviting. You may also want to consider hiring a professional stager who can help showcase your home's best features and make it more appealing to potential buyers.

3.  Price it Right

Pricing your home correctly is critical to attracting the right buyers and selling your home quickly. This means doing your research on local real estate market trends and working with your real estate agent to come up with a fair and competitive price for your home. Pricing your home too high can turn off potential buyers, while pricing it too low can leave money on the table.4. Expose it to the market.

4.  Use Compass Concierge to Make Upgrades

One way to increase your home's value and make it more appealing to buyers is to make upgrades and improvements before selling. Compass Concierge is a program that helps sellers cover the upfront costs of home improvements like staging, painting, and landscaping. Working with Compass Concierge can give you a competitive edge in the market and help you sell your home faster and for a higher price.

5.  Work with an Experienced Realtor

Finally, one of the best things you can do to sell your El Sereno home successfully is to work with an experienced realtor who knows the local market and can guide you through the process.
