When you think about selling your property, do you dwell on the possible work
and stress involved? You're not alone. Many homeowners share the same
concerns.
But it doesn't have to be that way.
In fact, there are plenty of ways to add some fun, anticipation, and even a
sense of adventure to the selling process. Here are just a few ideas:
1. Plan fun things to do when your home is being shown. That can include
walks, sports activities, or trying something you and your family have
never done before.
2. Declutter for your own benefit. Instead of thinking about decluttering as a
chore required for the sale, focus instead on how much more
comfortable your home will be after decluttering. Studies consistently
show that less clutter reduces stress and increases a sense of well-
being.
3. Get everyone in your home anticipating the move in a positive way. Put
pictures of your next home, including neighbourhood shots, on the fridge
door. Sit together on the computer and explore your new
neighbourhood's features and amenities.
4. Celebrate milestones in the selling process. For example, when you're
finished preparing your property for sale, go out to celebrate. Make a
checklist of milestones and how you'll celebrate each one.
5. Get the help you need. A big part of the stress of selling is the
anticipated work involved. Remember, you don't have to do it all
yourself. Much of what needs to be done can be handled by contractors
and other professionals.

free experience. Give us a call if you'd like more ideas and suggestions.
