00:00So, you're thinking of selling your house.
00:06Don't treat it like it's still your home once it's on the market.
00:09Treat it like a product.
00:10That's what real estate agent Terry Robinson tells NerdWallet.
00:13Robinson recommends depersonalizing the property, quote, so that persons are not getting enamored
00:19with your baseball collection, but they're enamored with the house, unquote.
00:22Investopedia recommends not getting emotional about the house.
00:26Keep your emotions in check and focus on the business aspect of selling your home.
00:30The site also suggests not setting an unrealistic price and not expecting the asking price.
00:36If your home needs work, getting an inspection, being upfront, and selling as is can help
00:41avoid surprises during escrow.
00:43Don't accept offers from unqualified buyers.
00:46Asking for a pre-approval letter is not unreasonable.
