Getting you house ready to sell takes time and a lot of work if you have not kept up your home. 

1.  Clean and depersonalize your home - That means clean from top to bottom and inside out, and remove all personal photos, paintings from the walls, and store all desktop decorations...less is better.  Paint the house a neutral color, clean the windows, ceiling fans, and replace or repair broken door handles, floor tiles and mini blinds.  Clean bathroom(s) and kitchen appliances.  

2.  Set the right price - check the sold properties similar to your house in the last 3 months to get the price right.

3.  Hire a professional real estate agent that can guide you through the process and keeps you informed of what the market is doing. 

4.  Boost your curb appeal - clean the yard, remove dead bushes and paint the front door if needed. 

5.  Offer buyer incentives, if appropriate, such as paying the buyer's agent commission.
