I’m excited to give you four great tips today about how to sell your home for top dollar while still living in it. It’s a dilemma many home sellers face, and these four tips will make things a little easier:

1. Start packing. Go ahead and get started. The move is coming eventually, and you might as well be prepared in advance.

2. Get the home squeaky clean. We all love living in our homes, but it can get hard sometimes to keep things squeaky clean. While you’re showing your home, it needs to be squeaky clean to show well and make a good first impression on buyers.

3. Maintain your privacy and safety. It amazes me that people will leave cash, jewelry, and other valuables out when they know that people are going to be walking through the home. Make sure anything that’s valuable or dangerous is put away, locked up, and unavailable for people to see.

4. Clear your schedule. If you are trying to sell your home, you’ve got to make it available for people to see. You also need to be willing to be flexible, on a moment’s notice, to let people check it out.
