Course Description
For most of us, our home represents the largest portion of our assets. Trying to sell a house, apartment or condo in today's fast paced market, quickly and profitably, has the potential for turning anyone's world upside down. Knowing what is important so you can meet your buyer's expectations is a necessity. As a seller, you will want to get the most value out of your home in the shortest time possible.
Course Motivation
Regardless of that, you can eliminate a lot of wasted time and dead ends by learning more about the art of pre-selling a home.
What do we mean by “pre-selling”?
Essentially, its all about the behind-the-scenes groundwork that needs to be addressed before you actually put a house on the market.
Why is pre-selling so important? For many very persuasive reasons…
· To sell your home faster…
· To close your home at higher prices…
· To be aware of any potential deal killers or price droppers and have a chance to confront the issue on your terms instead of the buyers’…
· To truly capitalize on the marketing potential of open houses and other home staging events…
While homeowners seriously considering putting their house on the market are the most obvious of potential students, they’re hardly the only ones. Others who would benefit from enrollment include:
· Savvy, competitive buyers looking for ways to identify and take advantage of a property’s potential weaknesses.
· Amateur real estate professionals and those contemplating careers as realtors.
· Couples and individuals who are entertaining the notion of selling their homes in the distant future.
If any of these scenarios ring true for you, then don’t delay. Cathleen Glen’s How to Prepare, Stage and Sell Your Home already has a spot ready for you to fill.
How to Prepare, Stage and Sell Your Home is a natural choice for homeowners seriously contemplating switching to the role of home-seller. And, while it doesn’t require a background in the real estate or property management industry, it is necessary that enrolled students are capable and comfortable reading at high school levels.
If you’re committed to getting the greatest value out of your home, in the least amount of time possible, this course is ideal for you. But, you should keep in mind that while this class will provide you with the ideas and information that you’ll need to sell rapidly and profitably, it can’t possibly guarantee that you’ll sell it within a certain time frame or at a specified profit.
In regards to class materials, there are no mandatory textbooks or other materials. About the only thing you should plan on keeping handy is a nice notebook (spiral notebooks tend to work best) to keep track of the notes, ideas and assignments you’ll cover over the class’s seven different lessons.
Your home is one of the biggest investments you’ll make. Don’t waste time or money by failing to get ahead of the game. Enrollment’s always open, so don’t put it off any longer. Sign up today!

- "I was very pleased with the instructor. She was always available, always had time to answer my questions, and found her own experiences with selling her home very helpful." -- Fran M.
- "I really like the staging section, and I found the tips for showing your house with little time (an hour notice), extremely helpful, and used many of these in those situations. Most important tip was cutting branches & leaves from your backyard when you don't have time to run to the store to buy flowers; I almost liked it better, turned out great and only took a minute." -- Fran M.
- "Material inspiring. Being able to log on when it suited me was great, have 4 small kids and live in the west of Ireland. Very well laid out, will be using the methods learnt to sell 2 houses and hopefully build on this as a career." -- Martina S.
