Is 2020 Your Year To Move?
Thinking of selling your Glendale home in 2020? Many homeowners take four to six months to finally get their home on the market. If 2020 is your year to cash out, then it is a good idea to start planning and preparing now. Here are the most important steps to take right now.
Where do you want to go?
Your Glendale home has been great, but maybe you’d like to experience somewhere new. If you have a short list, start visiting these places now! Everything looks great in summer, so what is it like in the dead of winter?
While you are there, meet with a Realtor or two and find out about the home buying process in that area. The smart buyer knows that the internet only goes so far- for true knowledge you need to talk to an expert. PRO TIP: Kendyl can refer great Realtors all over the US and Canada.

Profitable Improvements
You do not need to remodel an entire kitchen to make a great profit selling your Glendale home. Quick fixes, like adding colorful plants to your landscape or cleaning your windows, are simple and best done just before you put your home on the active market. However, there are a number of more involved items that will increase your overall sales price. If you wait until the last minute the entire list might be overwhelming, but over a period of time everything is easily accomplished.
