How to Sell Your Home Quickly
Very few of us have the luxury of, or patience for, having the home you want to sell sit on the market for months and months. Sometimes you need to be out of your home ASAP to start a new job or new assignment, and sometimes you just can't wait to move in to your new home. Whatever the situation is... if you want your home sold quickly, we've come up with some great advice that can help. Read on!
Choose the Right Agent
The right agent can make all the difference. You want a realtor that is as motivated as you are to sell your home - not just someone that will coordinate walkthroughs and add your home to some listings.
Stage Your Home
We mentioned this in another blog, but it's always good advice: buyers don't want to move in to your home... they want to move in to theirs! They want to take the living space and make it their own, with their own style and personal touches.
You want buyers to be able to envision what their life would be like in their future home. To do that, you need to remove the personal touches you've made on the home during your time living there.
We recommend renting a storage unit before listing your home to store all the stuff that might prevent a prospective buyer from feeling at home. Additionally, work with your agent to set your home up for success.
Get Professional Pictures Taken
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but we think when it comes to selling your home, pictures may be worth even more than that. They are the very first impression a buyer will get of your home, and if your photos aren't stellar, most prospective buyers will move on without a second look.
Hiring a professional home photographer is one of the highest ROI decisions you can make in terms of both selling the home quickly and for a better price.
Price it Accordingly
Look, we get it - you want to make the highest return possible on your investment. However, pricing a home for more than the market is willing to pay can significantly slow down the home selling process... or prevent it entirely.
Work with your agent (that's what they are there for!) and factor in your timeline to determine a fair price on your home.
Get Feedback
This is an often overlooked step, especially on sales that need a short turnaround... but feedback is crucial. You need to know what folks liked/didn't like about your home in order to address or emphasize those aspects. Certain things may be out of your control, but it's always worth it to get feedback anyway.
