We know that giving into a buyers’ market is not an option for many of you who are looking for a way to push your home to the forefront of the real estate market and get the most out of your home sale. Here are a few ways to help get your home sold.
1. Give your house a makeover that adds value and keeps it up with the Joneses'- That doesn't mean you should run out and install Italian marble. But if hardwood floors are the norm in your neighborhood, replace the carpet.
2. Use the secrets of staging experts, or hire one- Staging your Lake Michigan Shoreline home can be as easy as a fresh coat of paint, new cabinet hardware and strategically-placed lighting. Think of it as a creative, inexpensive facelift for your home.
3. Find out what's wrong with the house and get it fixed- This may seem obvious, but many homeowners put this off. Don't wait until that serious buyer finds faulty wiring or a termite problem and then pulls the plug on the deal. Be proactive. Get an inspection on your Lake Michigan Shoreline home before hitting the market.
4. Hire an aggressive, well-connected real estate agent- Find an experienced Lake Michigan Shoreline Real Estate agent with a proven track record who knows how to pound the pavement.

Talk with your Lake Michigan Shoreline Real Estate agent about other options for incentives as their experience in Evanston, North Chicago suburbs, the Indiana Shoreline or Harbor County, Michigan can give you an insider’s guide to what buyers are looking for.
6. Consider renting or offering a lease option- Minimize the impact of two mortgages by renting your house out until you find a buyer. Or offer a lease option to a motivated buyer who doesn't have enough cash to buy a home outright. It may not be ideal, but if you’re feeling the stress of an immediate move; this can be a solid option until you find the right buyer.
7. Make the house move-in ready- Throw in the furniture, flat-screen TV, washer/dryer, appliances and the kitchen sink! The less money a buyer will have to shell out to furnish the house, the higher the perceived value of your Lake Michigan Shoreline home.
