When it comes to pricing a home, there are a few things that buyers and sellers need to understand. Sellers need to listen to their real estate agent in order to accurately price their home for the market.

If you know what you’re up against, you can adjust the price accordingly, or make the repairs yourself and know that there’s nothing wrong with your home before you put it on the market. The fewer rounds of negotiation, the more money goes in your pocket. To learn why, watch this short video.

In Western PA, each township has different requirements when you sell a home. Some will require a dye test, some will require a lateral sewage line, some will require both.
