But how do you guarantee that you receive the maximum value for your house?\u003C!--more-->\r\n\r\nHere are two keys to ensure that you get the highest price possible.\r\n\r\n\u003Cstrong>1. Price it a LITTLE LOW \u003C\u002Fstrong>\r\n\r\nThis may seem counterintuitive, but let’s look at this concept for a moment. Many homeowners think that pricing their homes a little OVER market value will leave them with room for negotiation. In actuality, this just dramatically lessens the demand for your house \u003Cem>(see chart below).\u003C\u002Fem>\r\n\r\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Ffiles.keepingcurrentmatters.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F12\u002F20190107-STM-ENG.jpg\">\u003Cimg class=\"alignnone wp-image-38687\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Ffiles.keepingcurrentmatters.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2018\u002F12\u002F20190107-STM-ENG.jpg\" alt=\"Want to Get the Most Money from The Sale of Your Home?

By doing this, the \u003Cem>seller\u003C\u002Fem> will not be fighting with a \u003Cem>buyer\u003C\u002Fem> over the price but will instead have \u003Cem>multiple buyers\u003C\u002Fem> fighting with \u003Cem>each other\u003C\u002Fem> over the house.\r\n\r\n\u003Cem>\u003Cu>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.hgtv.com\u002Fdesign\u002Freal-estate\u002Fpricing-your-home-to-sell\">HGTV\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fu>\u003C\u002Fem> gives this advice:\r\n\u003Cblockquote>\u003Cem>“\u003Cstrong>First impressions are everything when selling your home\u003C\u002Fstrong>.

Use a Real Estate Professional\u003C\u002Fstrong>\r\n\r\nThis, too, may seem counterintuitive. The seller may believe that he or she will make more money without having to pay a real estate commission, but studies have shown that homes typically sell for more money when handled by a real estate professional.\r\n\r\nResearch by the \u003Cem>National Association of Realtors\u003C\u002Fem> in their \u003Cem>\u003Cu>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.nar.realtor\u002Fresearch-and-statistics\u002Fresearch-reports\u002Fhighlights-from-the-profile-of-home-buyers-and-sellers\">2018 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fu>\u003C\u002Fem> revealed that,\r\n\u003Cblockquote>\u003Cem>“the median selling price for all FSBO homes was $200,000 last year.
