Price is extremely important, but if the price is right, but the MLS photos show a home that is not appealing, few Buyers will want to waste their time on seeing your home, particularly when there are many homes being offered. First impressions are most important, and the most visually appealing homes will get the first showings. Consider home staging and photography by a professional to be essential to merchandising your home---right up there with having a great agent. Then, with correct pricing, your home will have the buzz to drive traffic and get offers for a timely home sale. Your realtor can help you find the best professionals to help you merchandise your home. In the long run, an investment in this kind of merchandising will deliver a speedier sale, and will avoid the trap of pricing high and lowering your asking price again and again until the sale.
