Step-by-Step Guide to Selling Your House on Your Own

Are you ready to sell your house but want to avoid hefty real estate commissions? Selling your home independently, commonly known as FSBO (For Sale By Owner) can save you thousands while giving you complete control. With Sunday Pro's AI-powered transaction platform, the process is easier and more efficient than ever. Follow this step-by-step guide to navigate your home sale successfully.

1. Prepare Your Home for Sale

  • Declutter and Clean: First impressions matter! Declutter your space, deep clean, and create a neutral, inviting environment. A well-presented home attracts more buyers.

  • Make Repairs: Fix minor issues such as leaky faucets or chipped paint. Small upgrades like fresh paint or modern light fixtures can significantly boost your home's appeal.

  • Stage Your Home: Highlight your home's best features through staging. Use Sunday’s AI tools for tailored staging recommendations.

2. Set the Right Price

  • Conduct a Market Analysis: Utilize Sunday’s AI-powered tools to analyze comparable sales in your area ("comps") and set a competitive price.

  • Consider Local Market Trends: Look at neighborhood trends and seasonality to make informed pricing decisions.

  • Get an Appraisal: If unsure, a professional appraiser can provide an accurate valuation.

3. Create a Listing

  • Write a Compelling Description: Showcase your home’s unique features with a catchy description. Use keywords like "spacious," "modern," or "move-in ready."
