When it’s time to sell your home, selling yourself makes the most financial sense. Why pay a real estate agent 00 or more to show your house when you can do it yourself for half the price or less? Below are ten easy steps to home selling that you can do yourself:

Home Selling Yourself Tip #1. Get your house ready.

Clean up your house, inside and out. Make sure that your lawn is trimmed, and the landscaping is neat. If the house needs repairs, this is the time to make them. Repaint, or give it a good wash. Inside, remove as much personal clutter as possible. Put away collections and pictures, take decorations off the walls and empty closets.

Home Selling Yourself Tip #2. Research prices in your neighborhood.

The single most important factor in determining how fast your home will sell is the asking price. It should be within a few percentage points of other homes in your neighborhood. Check at the county clerk’s office for recent sales of homes in your neighborhood to get an idea of what homes in your neighborhood are selling for, then set your asking price within a few thousand dollars.

Home Selling Yourself Tip #3. Look into a flat listing with a local realtor.

Even if you’re selling your home yourself, you can make use of a local realtor. Many real estate agents offer what they call a ‘flat fee listing’ for homeowners who are selling their homes on their own. The purpose is to get your home listed on the Multiple Listing Service for your area in order to increase the exposure that your home gets. The fee is generally a flat 0-0, or a small percentage of the final price, depending on the agent.

Home Selling Yourself Tip #4. Get a good photographer to take pictures of your home.

When a realtor is handling your property, they’ll engage a photographer to get the most flattering pictures of your property possible. If you’re selling your home yourself, don’t skimp on the ‘frills’. The photographs that show your house to prospective buyers are the single best investment that you can make. If your house looks good in the pictures, people will want to see more.

Home Selling Yourself Tip #5. List your house on several internet ‘selling home yourself’ web sites.

Shop around for the best deals before listing, but don’t go just by price. It’s far more important to check a little deeper. Search for other homes and realtors in your area, and choose web sites that have a fairly good representation of homes for sale in your neighborhood or city.

Home Selling Yourself Tip #6. Use those pictures to help in selling your home.

The more prospective buyers can see of your home before they pick up the phone, the more likely it is that the calls you get will be from ‘serious’ buyers. Make sure that you include photos of your home’s best features and major selling points.

Home Selling Yourself Tip #7. Be prepared to offer incentives when selling your home yourself.

Since you’re not paying a realtor, you may be in a better position to absorb part of the closing costs, or offer to buy points for a prospective buyer to help them get the loan they need to buy your house. Other non-cash incentives may include details like including the gas grill and patio furniture as part of the deal.

Home Selling Yourself Tip #8. Get all your warranty information together.

As you get closer to selling your home yourself, make sure that you have all the paperwork that your buyer will need to take over the house. Collect warranties on the heating system, furnace, cabinets, and any other repairs or major investments that you’ve made.

Home Selling Yourself Tip #9. Have your home inspected.

Having your home inspected by your own inspector can save time when you’re selling your home yourself. It may preclude the need for the buyers to pay for their own inspection if yours is recent and comprehensive.

Home Selling Yourself Tip #10. Retain a lawyer experienced in real estate law to help you through the fine points of selling your home yourself.

I had to fire a Seller; no matter how I delivered the suggestions as her real estate professional, she just would not listen. I was contacted by the Seller and asked if I would list her house. I knew from mutual associates this gal was pretty eccentric so I took on the challenge. Just so happened a home improvement show was filming in Denver at the time and looking for features. I sent the producer photos and a brief description of my Seller and her home. The producer called me within seconds of me firing off the email. Porcelain Chicken & Pink walls do not sell homes…

1)     The Prospective New Buyer Loves to See “Light & Bright”, so clean and De-clutter Your Home A.S.A.P.: Remove your personality; place as many personal effects into boxes and bring them to storage. This will help to make it look bigger and cleaner. The Buyer will then be able to envision their own belongings & style in the home. Avoid using bright colors and too many personal effects.

2)     Maintain Curb Appeal: Get your landscaping in shape. Weeds and dead grass take away from the home’s overall first impression. Buy some seed & feed, pull the weeds, trim the bushes and pick up the debris. Don’t just do this once, you have to stay on top of it and take care of the landscaping weekly.

3)     Price it Right: Don’t just listen to your neighbors, you can’t estimate on what someone sold for on the block 3 years ago. You have to be realistic and logical; this is an area where emotion cannot become involved.  Zillow is a good free website where you can get a good idea of value. Though not set in stone, you need to consider your amenities, square footage and location. Best advice is to be realistic and logical – put yourself in the Buyer’s frame of mind. Seriously, consider what you would pay for the property and keep in mind everyone can justify a purchase if they can perceive and justify the value. We all love a great deal…Right?

HydroponicsFriend.com This is my second update 12 days after Update #1. My homemade Hydroponics system is working extremely well. I am very happy with the results. So far its a great success. The pepper plants are showing slight damage, either from cold or more likely over watering. Starting seeds in the Jiffy Pots was a total failure. I believe the salad container was sealed too tightly. This could have easily been avoided by simply leaving the clear lid loose instead of snapping it down. So what have I learned? 1. Hydroponics is easier than I thought it would be. 2. I have to pay closer attention to not to over water. 3. Too tight of a seal is deadly to seeds in Jiffy Pots. I realize most of my videos have little to do with Square Foot Gardening so far. As soon as we get better weather I will start making videos on that subject. Thanks for watching. More videos coming soon.

We’ve all seen the do-it-yourself paint job gone wrong, with thin spots, drips and streaks. Paint, however, isn’t usually the culprit of a bad paint job. But cutting corners while prepping a space is.

By following the right steps prior to painting, and using the right painting tools, you’ll be sure to have a refreshed space that looks like it was painted by a professional.

Assess the situation
A major factor to consider when starting a new project is the condition of the walls and cleanliness of the surfaces you want to paint. Item number one on the pre-painting checklist is to inspect the wall. Any loose paint, holes or cracks should be fixed before priming, and especially before painting.

If your old paint is peeling, it prevents your new coat of primer, and eventually your new color, from adhering to the wall, resulting in cracks and continued peeling. Don’t sabotage your makeover before it even begins. Scrape away old paint until all the loose material is gone.

To get the job done like a professional, you’ll need a quality scraper, like those from Purdy, makers of professional quality painting tools.These scrapers have been engineered with input and direction from professionals to ensure a product that delivers a superior performance. The high-quality line of scrapers, including the 2 1/2-inch carbide scraper, features ergonomically designed handles to make prep work less cumbersome and more comfortable.

Clean, patch and prime
After you’re done scraping, you need to clean the wall. Any dirt left on the wall can create problems, causing the paint to peel or in some cases, slide right off. Using a good grease-cutting detergent will remove most of this unwanted material from the surface.

Once the wall is properly cleaned, the next step is to patch any flaws before priming and painting. And most importantly, when patching any surface, make sure to use the proper patching materials and tools. Be sure to match the repairing material to the surface and assess the amount of damage. Use wood filler to patch wood imperfections and spackling for drywall.

And remember, quality tools count
The quality of the tools used is going to affect the final finish. Just like brushes or roller covers, a cheap prep tool can bring down the quality of your entire project. Brushes that shed or rollers that leave lint should be avoided, as they’ll ruin the look of your finished products. Scrapers made of cheap metal will leave rust marks on your walls, ruining all your hard work and doing as much damage as good. You’ll be sure to get the desired results when using high-quality tools. Plus, a set of good painting tools will last longer and perform better over a longer period of time, saving you money and time. Purdy has a number of products to help you complete any part of the painting process, from start to finish.

A chain is only as good as its weakest link, and the same is true when undertaking a painting project. By forgetting to do any of the steps in the pre-painting process, you’re putting your entire project at risk to fail. Instead, ensure your success with a little forethought and elbow grease, and you’ll have a perfect finish each time. For more painting advice and information on quality painting tools, visit www.purdycorp.com or call Purdy directly at (800) 547-0780.
