Whatever the reason you’re selling your home, it’s important to sell it fast. The longer the “For Sale” sign sits on the yard, the higher are the chances the home with be stigmatized for possible defects. Here are a few tips on how to sell it in no time:
- Price it right so that you’ll have many offers and you can pick the best of the offers.
- Keep it neat and tidy such that it’s ready to show at any time. The last thing you want is for a buyer to leave the house with a bad impression about the home.
- Neutralize the house from colors to staging and everything else. The key is not to appeal to only a subset of the population but to the majority. This is best done by depersonalizing the home.
- Light up the house by turning the lights on in and around the house and opening the blinds during daytime showings.
- Enhance the curb appeal so that the buyers just don’t pass by the house but pull over and stop by the house.
- Stage it so that the potential buyers can see through the empty rooms and truly experience how it would feel to live in your home.
- Know the condition of your home. Are you selling as is or after you’ve done the repairs? If as is, be ready to answer questions about what repairs are needed and have estimates from some contractors. If after repairs, have the receipts and warranty information available.
- Hire a professional photographer to take pictures of the home before the home is marketed to all the online portals.
- Have information about the community ready. This includes the information about the home owners’ association (HOA), schools, neighborhood grocery stores, nearest attractions etc.
- Market the properly for sale during late Spring to early Fall. This is when most properties move the quickest.
