Back HomeHow to Sell a House Fast!
March 19th, 2015 by keithandkinsey
We get a lot of sellers that want to sell their home quickly. Maybe they’ve got a new home under contract contingent on selling their old home. Or maybe they are making an out of state move for a new job. Whatever the case may be, there are three key factors to selling your home fast.
Price it right: Have a real estate agent do a comparative market analysis for you, and price it within 2% of what the comparable sales data shows it should be worth. Many people markup their house 10% just to see if they can get it, but those houses sit on the market a long time, and they often end up selling for less than if they had been priced accurately to begin with.
Stage it: Get rid of all the clutter. De-personalize by taking down all the family photos. Paint those wild colors neutral. Make your closets and cabinets appear organized (even if that means getting rid of half the stuff in them). Put some flowers on the table or a nice place settings to make your home looking inviting
Online presence: Most home buyers are looking online before going to see a home. So, your home must look great in its online photos. Make sure you use a Realtor that will use a professional photographer. Also, your home should be posted on hundreds of real estate websites and all the social media sites. The seller of one of our recent listings took all of our advice and staged their house beautifully. Within 4 days their home was seen online by over 30,000 people, and they had a full price accepted offer.
