Without getting into how to stage your house and a myriad of other house preparations (that’s another article), let’s cover the basics.One you’re finally ready to go public with selling your house, you might as well as shout it out.

You could do an open house to kick things off right. Perhaps a casual get together with friends and neighbors to help spread the word. Most people would prefer to have great neighbors and they might help you along by telling their friends.

But if you do go with an agent, make sure they looked after their end of the deal. Your house should have a sharp looking presence online and within the MLS system.

How to sell a house yourself can be as simple as picking up a book that will show you first hand how you can avoid paying lofty commissions. Selling Your Home Alone is one such book that will walk you through, step by step, on what needs to be done to sell your house for the most money possible.
