Selling your home takes an individualize property sell’s marketing plan. Sacramento real estate market needs a strong marketing plan to get you the price you want.

  6. Take care of your to-do list: There’s probably a list of small repairs that you’ve been putting off for a while, like fixing a dripping faucet or touching up paint on some walls. Make those repairs so that the home is more move-in ready for buyers.
