1.	Disconnect all emotion from the sale.
2.	Consider a home inspection before you decide to list your house.
3.	Get your house listed in the MLS to expose the property to the largest amount of buyers.
4.	Set your price as close to market value as possible, you can try starting at 5% above, but you don't want to lose those precious first two weeks when interest is highest.
5.	Make sure your home is cleaned from top to bottom and inside and out.
6.	Don't let your house just sit on the market, you may need to reconsider price if interest in the property slows.
7.	Be very careful with the purchase contract. Attempt a kick-out clause so you can accept a better offer if one comes in.
8.	Make sure your agent keeps you informed. If he or she hasn't done this, ask for a detailed report.
9.	To speed the home sale, consider: inspection and warranty, decorating allowance, lease option, seller financing, covering some (or all) closing costs, or pre-paying condo fees.
10.	Consider these quick fixes to bring new life to your house: Cover a wall with mirror tiles, get rid of heavy drapes, refurbish cabinets, use standing screens to mask problem areas, re-evaluate uses of rooms, brighten rooms, re-arrange furniture, fill an empty corner, apply self-adhesive wallpaper borders, and create intriguing centerpieces.
11.	Consider a home warranty, it will make your house more desirable to potential buyers as well protect you after the sale.
