When you have your house for sale and a prospective buyer wants to see it, you need to stage your home for the showing, here are some tips. Turn on all the lights and open all the blinds, even if its the middle of the day. Brighter rooms tend to look bigger. Put away your pictures! You want the buyers to envision themselves living in the house, not you. Secure all valuables! Clean, no clutter, again the key is they need to see themselves living there, not you.

Lease Option vs. Land Contract. One of the biggest differences between the two from the sellers standpoint is if your buyer fails to make payments you can just terminate the lease and have them out of your property. In a land contract situation the buyer has "equitable title" of the property. That means if they fall behind on payments the seller would have to evict them. Lease options can be a safer route.

Split Commission is when 2 Realtor are involved with the sale of a property. The total commission is split between the 2 agents. Dual Commission is different. Make sure that when you sell your home you negotiate a lower rate for Dual Commission. This is where your listing agent also brings the buyer. Usually a dual commission will be around 4%. Because the agent is getting both sides of the deal, its normal to negotiate a lower rate for this.

When you list your house for sale with a Realtor you will have to pay a commission. Typically it is 6% of the selling price of the home. Then the 2 agents involved split that 6%, 3% a piece. Did you know the commission you pay is negotiable? Don't let the Realtor just tell you what the rate has to be a certain percentage because you do have the right to negotiate that.
