So you are ready to sell, but you know that there are a few things in the home that could stand some updating in order to increase your selling price. Your remodel budget is limited, and you are wondering where to spend it.

So when selecting your real estate agent, pay no attention to who is running the most house ads. Agents who tell you theyll advertise your house are only serving their own needs, not helping you. If at the listing presentation the agent promises to advertise your home, theyre doing so primarily for their own personal gain, leaving less time to focus on doing the most effective things to get your house sold.
