Home Selling Tips
The hardest part of selling a home in Utah is advertising. If you want the most visibility, the best
thing to do would be to sell your home through a Realtor. They will list your home on the Wasatch Front
MLS. This is the single-most important listing you'll want to seek, since every real estate agent in Utah
has access to this site for their buyers. There are services out there that will list your home on the MLS
in exchange for a fee, and not collect any Realtor's fees.

Why use a Realtor?
Many sellers are tempted to bypass the use of a Realtor due to the 3-6 percent they'll take away from your potential
profits. You have to carefully weigh the differences between saving money, how fast you want to sell, and how much
paperwork you want to be involved with. With a Realtor, you have the luxury of never meeting the buyers and having to
face their questions and criticisms of the home you've built to be your own.
How long will it take?
There are a lot of factors that go into the time it takes for a home to sell. You have to take into consideration the
condition of the home, location, current market trends, and most of all - the price. Overall in today's market,
the average home takes about 60 days to sell if using a Realtor.
Home Improvements
The most important room you can upgrade in your home is the Kitchen. You can expect an 80-120 percent return in the
costs of remodeling your kitchen if it needs it. Areas that sell houses visually are landscaping (curb appeal),
new interior paint, and interior decorating. Why do you think model homes spend so much money on interior decorators
and landscapers?
