Heed these suggestions from real estate pros to ensure your property gets the highest possible price.

Stage and declutter your home. It's remarkable what regular home maintenance, cleanliness, and minimizing clutter in your everyday life can do for you when it comes time to sell.

Clean it up! If it's dirty, it will not sell -- even if it's a great place.Raise window blinds, lower toilet seats -- make sure the place looks at least as good as it would if you were having your boss over for dinner.

Enhance your curb appeal.

Pay attention to details. Wash your windows, replace compact fluorescent bulbs with incandescent or halogen, and remove or minimize personal photographs.

Refresh your kitchen and bath. Choose a neutral palette to increase the appeal to as many tastes as possible; buyers need to be able to easily visualize themselves living in the home, and bright colors might turn them off.

Invest in good photos.

Don't DIY everything. First and foremost, for correct pricing, widest and best marketing, and the highest price, hire a real estate agent like the professionals at New Mexico Mountain Properties.
