Living areas and work areas can be divided according to the layout of the townhouse, to suit your needs.

Make necessary upgrades such as repainting and fixing necessary stuff to ensure that your house looks furnished and as good as new. The interiors should be appealing to prospective buyers. Also, clean the house thoroughly to add to the overall “feel good” appeal. Some sellers also choose to set up the house in a specific way to target certain buyers.

Once done, add the cost to your asking price.  Choose a suitable agent  Getting an agent is the next step towards selling your house profitably.
