 The vast majority of all homes are sold by real estate agents, but all agents are not the same - not even close. The agent's experience, knowledge, and marketing plan can have a huge impact on your success. Make sure your agent is using the most aggressive marketing plan to get your home the exposure it needs for the right buyer to find it. Signing up with the right agent can make all the difference in the world.

Price, Price, Price
Selling a house is all about price. Ask too much, and you could get stuck with a home that languishes on the market. The longer it sits, the harder it is to unload. The first question a buyer asks is how long the house has been on the market?  If it's been on a while, they ask what is wrong with the house. 

Ironically, homeowners who ask more for their homes tend to get less in the end. Studies show that if you price your home properly it will sell faster and at a higher price than if the home was priced aggressively. Overpricing leads to low bids. Proper pricing leads to high bids.

So how do you set the right price? First, take a look at recent sales in your neighborhood. And don't forget to factor in the condition of your house. A home buyer in a more neutral market is still going to pay up for a new kitchen with new cabinets and a Sub-Zero Refrigerator. But if you failed to notice that Harvest Gold stoves and countertops went out of style with bell bottoms and love beads, you had better be prepared to drop your price by about as much as it would cost a new owner to renovate your relic.

Finally, don't expect to get more for your house than your neighbor got a year ago. This is a different market. Look at more recent sales data and price your home accordingly.

Curb Appeal
First impressions are everything. The last thing you want is to turn off a potential buyer before he or she walks in the door. So make sure the house is painted, and call a landscaper to get your lawn in tip top shape. If your grass isn't green, make it green. If you have weeds, get rid of them. If the shrubs are overgrown, cut them. Even small, inexpensive potted flowers can make your home seem more inviting.

Renovations
Some renovations are worth an investment. For example an extra bathroom makes a home more saleable. A few cans of paint and new carpeting could also provide a handsome return.

Additional Tips
There's some basic advice that's worth repeating. Keep your home as clean and as pristine as possible. This means cleaning out your closets and getting rid of excess clutter and furniture. You want your home to look as spacious as possible.
