1. Price the property between wholesale and resale.

2. Allow the property to be shown with almost no notice.  It's a nuisance, but not as bas as watching your market time stretch for six months or more.
3. Please be scarce or be gone when a prospective buyer, accompanied by a Realtor, wants to see the house - and stay gone until they're gone.  Buyers will need to "try your house on for size," but it's difficult for them to do while you're there.
4. Eliminate any barriers to a free flow of traffic in the property.  Such items as bulky or extra furniture, house plants that stick out into traffic ways, toys or clothes not put away, beds not made, and so forth, all slow down traffic and make rooms appear smaller.
5. Watchdogs that provide so much security  that no one can see the property can be a problem.
6. Your Realtor is on your side, and won't get paid until you get results.  Advice from a professional doesn't help unless you seriously consider it.
7. Look at the front of your property and size it up objectively.  Ask yourself if you pulled up as a buyer, would the home's appearance make you want to go inside?
8. Make any and all recommended improvements with an eye towards neutral marketing.  Be aware of unusual colors that may clash with a prospective buyer's taste.
9. Be willing to consider any offer at any time.  Please don't ever be offended.

Remember, you are the final judge of what's acceptable and what's not.
