GUIDES AND TIPS FOR
SELLERS

Sell with Confidence.
Selling a home can feel both exciting and overwhelming. Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, or simply ready for a change, you need a clear strategy to get the best return on your investment. Vali Mikho combines deep market knowledge, cutting-edge marketing tactics, and a personalized approach to ensure your home-selling journey is smooth, profitable, and stress-free. Below, you’ll find a detailed roadmap that outlines every step of the process—so you know exactly what to expect and how to prepare.
Understand the Market
Research Local Trends
The first step in selling your property is understanding the current real estate climate. Factors like interest rates, inventory levels, and local economic conditions can all influence how quickly your home may sell and the price you can expect to receive. By analyzing recent comparable sales, market reports, and upcoming developments in your area, Vali will help you determine the optimal time to list.
Timing Your Sale
Deciding when to list your home is crucial. While spring and summer are often considered peak selling seasons, there can be strategic advantages to listing during the fall or winter depending on your local market. Vali’s insights will help you weigh the pros and cons of different seasons so you can time your sale for maximum impact.

Prepare Your Property
Declutter and Depersonalize
A clean, organized space helps potential buyers envision their own lives in your home. Start by packing away personal items such as family photos, collectibles, or excess furniture. The goal is to create a neutral, welcoming canvas for showings.
Repairs and Upgrades
Small fixes can lead to big returns. Patch holes, update fixtures, and consider a fresh coat of paint in neutral tones. If your property needs more significant improvements—like a new roof or kitchen renovations—Vali can advise on which projects offer the best return on investment.
Staging and Curb Appeal
First impressions matter. Simple touches like fresh landscaping, a power-washed driveway, and well-placed furniture can boost your home’s curb appeal and make interior spaces look more inviting. Where appropriate, Vali can recommend professional staging services to highlight your home’s most appealing features.
Develop a Pricing Strategy
Comparative Market Analysis (CMA)
Pricing is one of the most critical factors in a successful sale. Vali will conduct a Comparative Market Analysis to evaluate recently sold properties in your neighborhood that are similar in size, style, and condition. This data helps set a price that’s both competitive and profitable.
Balancing Expectations
Overpricing a home can deter buyers, while underpricing can leave money on the table. Vali will work with you to balance market insights with your personal goals, ensuring you’re comfortable with the listing price while also positioning the property to attract strong offers.
Craft a Winning Marketing Plan
Professional Photography and Videography
High-quality images and engaging videos can capture buyers’ attention before they even step foot inside your home. Vali partners with professional photographers and videographers who specialize in real estate, showcasing your property in its best light.
Online Exposure and Social Media
Most buyers start their home search online. Vali will feature your property on popular real estate platforms, social media channels, and local listings to generate maximum visibility. Targeted digital ads, virtual tours, and social media promotions help attract a broad audience of serious buyers.
Traditional Marketing Methods
While digital marketing is vital, traditional methods still play a role. Professional yard signs, print advertisements, and open house flyers can reach local buyers who aren’t as active online. Combining both digital and traditional approaches ensures full coverage of the market.
