If your planning to sell your home there is one critical thing you have to remember from day one. Your are not selling a home, your are selling a house. The buyer needs to make it his home. The memories and decor that make this house your home have to be packed away before you list your house. Thinking of the property as your home once you decide to list will expose you to many problems. Pricing is effected by this thought process, you really can't put a price tag on a home. You need to remove your emotions and think of this as a business deal. Your Real Estate Agent will give you advise as to price that will not include the value of the time you have spent in the home.
My best advise is to not be home when the house is shown. Buyers like to put their own spin on a house and if you cringe knowing they are taking out the shelves you so lovingly built into the nursery wall it may effect the way you negotiate a sale.
You may have spent hours finding just the right color orange for the kitchen but the buyers want a green kitchen.
Remember, you are selling a house not a home
