Today, we’ll be discussing five simple strategies to ensure your Fresno home sells quickly and for top dollar in 2016.

1. Price your home appropriately. This might sound obvious, but it's extremely important to utilize a real estate professional to do this. Particularly, you need a market analysis from a Realtor to determine the value of your home in today’s marketplace. Additionally, price your home to sell, not to sit. A home priced above market value can sit for a long time.

2. Do not skimp on marketing photos. Pay a professional to photograph your home. This helps your listing shine on the MLS, and the small investment can really benefit you in the long run.

3. Prepare your home for showing. Stage the interior of your home. Remove clutter and depersonalize. Buyers should be able to picture their family inside your home. On the outside, your yard should sparkle.

4. Time the sale. Traditionally, the spring and early summer are popular times to list. This is even more true this year, because we have a presidential election happening this fall.

5. Target millennials. It’s a safe bet that your target demographic will include those between the ages of 18 and 34. Most are first-time home buyers and looking for their special dream home!
