Selling your home isn’t just about putting a “For Sale” sign in the yard and crossing your fingers. If you want to sell quickly — and for top dollar — there are strategic steps you need to take before the first showing.
Whether you're in Centerville, Dayton, or anywhere across Southwest Ohio, here are six powerful tips from trusted Realtor Katie Roberts that can get your home off the market and into the hands of the right buyer — fast.
One of the biggest mistakes sellers make? Overpricing.
A too-high price can cause your listing to sit — and sit — until buyers assume something’s wrong. Meanwhile, competitively priced homes get the most attention in the first 7–10 days on market.
Katie uses local market data, recent comps, and her deep neighborhood knowledge to set the perfect price point that attracts offers fast without leaving money on the table.
Buyers want to visualize themselves living in your home — not feel like they’re walking through someone else’s.
That means:
Katie works with homeowners to create clean, welcoming environments that photograph beautifully and show even better in person.
Most buyers decide how they feel about your home within seconds of pulling up. That’s why your exterior matters just as much as the inside.
Quick wins include:
Even if you’re short on time or budget, Katie can suggest small curb appeal upgrades that offer big returns.
Let’s be real: nearly every buyer starts their search online.
That means your listing photos have to pop — and dark, blurry smartphone pics won’t cut it. Professional photography helps your home stand out on Zillow, Realtor.com, and social media feeds.
Katie partners with professional photographers who know how to highlight your home’s best features — making it look brighter, bigger, and more inviting.
The more available your home is for showings, the faster it’ll sell. Limiting access or making showings hard to schedule means fewer potential buyers walking through your door.
