The goal of this guide is to help you learn how to sell your Truckee-Tahoe home quicker and for a higher price by preparing your home for sale by pricing the home appropriately and getting the word out to as many prospective buyers as possible.
Price
The most important step in selling your home is pricing it correctly from the onset. It’s a well-known fact that overpriced homes take longer to sell and usually sell for a lower price. Since the majority of your showings will occur in the first 14 days on the market, it is crucial that your initial list price matches buyer expectations and market demands.

Condition
In order to get top dollar for your home, you have to make sure your home looks its best: complete any repairs, stage your home, etc.
Even some of the small things can make a difference, from how the home smells, how welcoming it feels, and its curb appeal. Draw in buyers by paying attention to details here. In Truckee specifically, this means maintained yards and seasonal weather preparedness.

Work with a real estate agent to make sure the marking reach of your home is significant.
