Thinking about selling your home? Before you start making improvements or preparing for showings, think about what matters most to you. From simple maintenance and staging to professional photography, Donna shares six practical tips to help you prepare your home for the market.

When buyers begin their home search, it is most likely on-line at sites like Homes.com, Zillow.com, or a custom email link from their buyer’s agent through the local MLS.

Missing that initial click, leads to fewer in-person tours and fewer offers from potential buyers.
