Selling a Home

This category collects our advice for homeowners preparing to sell: how to think about pricing, what staging and small repairs can do, and what buyers tend to notice first. Many of these articles are practical checklists in spirit, covering curb appeal, paint colors, setting up bedrooms and living spaces for showings, and keeping yourself and your belongings secure while the house is open to visitors. You will also find posts about the decisions around a sale. We write about knowing when it is time to move on, the upside of downsizing, what comes after the sold sign goes up, and how real estate agents are paid for their work. Some of these articles go back several years; the advice on presentation and preparation still applies. Every sale is different, and a plan that works on one street in the South Bay may not suit another. If you are considering selling in San Pedro or elsewhere in the Los Angeles South Bay, Morgen Real Estate can help you prepare the house, plan your pricing and see the sale through.
