Selling a home in New Hampshire for the first time? You’ve probably heard the basics like ‘declutter’ and ‘price it right,’ but today, let’s dive into some more tips to make your first sale a success.
First, think about timing—not just the time of year, but your personal timing. Are you prepared for the time it takes for showings and inspections? How about the up front costs of selling, like staging and repairs? And, do you have a plan if your home sells faster—or slower—than expected?
Next, be ready to fill out a property disclosure. New Hampshire law requires sellers to disclose certain information about known defects and any material facts that could affect the buyer’s decision. Transparency here can save you from headaches down the line, like disputes or renegotiations.
Marketing matters, too. From professional photos to online listing descriptions and social media campaigns, your home needs to shine where buyers are looking. And having a marketing-informed Realtor in your corner can help ensure it does.
Lastly, make sure you start planning for your move in a timely manner. The smoother your transition, the less stressful the selling process will feel. Don’t wait until the last minute to book movers or start packing.
At the end of the day, selling your first home is about more than just listing it—it’s about strategy, preparation, and making informed decisions.
