Well today on the Podcast we’re excited to dive deep into this topic with Mindy Jensen, the Community Manager at BiggerPockets and author of the newest book from BiggerPockets, How to Sell Your Home.

"Clean your house" - Mindy speaks the truth. When my mother was selling her townhouse 20 years ago, we cleaned it like Martha Stewart was coming over for lunch (like, scrubbing the grout in the shower with a toothbrush cleaning). The first thing the real estate agent said when she walked in was, "I've never shown a house that was this clean." All of our furniture and personal items were still there, but it was orderly and spotless. It sold in 2 weeks - in 2007.

One more comment. If you leave your home during the showing bug it so that you know what questions we're asked and you can better your skills of preparing. And you can get to know your agent better ;).

Priceless and time less information. Keep up the excellent work team.

One more question. Brandon, how long have you been in Real Estate?

[antoniofred]

It's NOT true that on average if you sell your house on your own that you will get 50 percent less for it.

Scott Trench roughly how many deals have you done in Real Estate?

[chrislejune]

Brandon after you offered your tenet $1000 to keep the house clean contingent on it selling. After they left before you sold it did you give them anything for keeping the house clean anyway, or did they basically keep their house clean for free lol?
