More selling tips

• Change expectations. You probably won’t sell your home right away or make the same profit you might have six months ago.

• Fix minor problems, such as torn window screens, squeaky doors and dripping faucets.

• Consider offering a home warranty, which can make older homes more attractive to buyers.

• Offer other incentives, such as paying closing costs or pre-paying a year’s worth of homeowner association fees.
