Don’t let the challenge of selling your own home scare you. If your home isn't selling as fast as you'd like DON'T DROP THE PRICE until you read this information!

Selling or buying your own home can be intimidating. But it doesn't have to be. You can help ease fears you may have by getting information about how it works and feeling more comfortable with the process.

Spending a little of your time and effort can go a long way in helping you understand what you need to do. Here are a few tips for selling your own home.

Take the time to get your home in a good "showing" condition, so that when potential buyers appear and view your house, they will see a clean, appealing home that they would want to live in.
Research your market and your competition. Find out what similar houses to yours are selling for. Know the value of your own home so that you can price it properly. Overprice and you likely will get no interest. Under price and you could leave too much money on the table.
Market your property. One of the most valuable (and least expensive) ways to market your house for sale is to put up signs! Everywhere in your neighbourhood, but especially on the street and on your property. You want people driving by your house (and driving through the neighborhood) to see that your property is for sale. Make the signs visible and put your phone # on them so people can reach you.
Place some ads in the local papers and put some free classifieds ads on line in popular locations like Kijiji.ca And do this all at the same time. Concentrate your signs and ads - do everything in a couple days so that you can attract as much attention as possible and be ready for weekend buyers who want to see your house.
Don't rule out the MLS. In Canada, the landscape is changing, and now discount realtors are offering to put up your property on the MLS for discounted rates.
Be prepared when you get an interested Buyer. Know your asking price and what conditions are important to you. Have your lawyer ready to assist when you receive an offer.

Selling or buying your home FSBO can be a great experience, but be sure you educate yourself and have professional assistance ready when you need it.
