Quick, Easy and Valuable Tips

Sell Your Home Fast and for Top Dollar

Most people who buy a car purchase the one that has the most features at the lowest price possible. Today's real estate market is much the same. Your home is your product, and when you are selling it, you need to make sure it is better than the competition. What does it mean to be the "best" when selling your home? Read on for details!

Before listing your home, make sure it is in pristine condition. Remove the clutter from your home. Put items you will not be using in storage. Apply a fresh coat of paint. Buy some additional lamps to make the house feel brighter. Have the home staged and professionally photographed. It is also a good idea to have a property inspection done before listing the home. Make your home the "best" it can be by following these guidelines:

Price it Right

Buyers are still very picky, but they know a good deal when they see one. If your home is priced too high, the Buyers will move onto the next house and can do so because of the high inventory.

Stage It

Buyers today are previewing sometimes dozens of homes. Make your home look like a model home and have it staged! Staging is the process of having a professional designer come into your home and redesigning it to make it look like a model home. Staging is much cheaper than you think, and it is worth it in the long-run.

Make it Easy to Show

Make sure that you are make it as easy as possible for buyers to preview your home. With so much inventory, you do not want a Realtor® to skip over showing your home because others are easier to show. "Lockbox" showings are best for this.

Keep It Presentable

Make sure that your home is always tidy. You never know when that buyer is going to be ready to view your home!

Virtual Tour and Professional Photographs

Hire a professional to come and take professional photographs of your home. You will be surprised at how much better the photos make your home look and what a difference it will make to your buyers. Virtual tours are key in this market.

Financing Scenarios

Ask a lender to put together flyers with some basic loan scenarios for you. This will help buyers understand if they can afford your home, and it is an added service that you can provide for your sellers.

Broker's Open House Should be Memorable

Make sure that your Realtor® hosts an open house designed specifically for other real estate agents. Think of this as the "Grand Opening" for your house. Have drinks and snacks and other incentives for the agents in the area to view your home. The more agents that see your house, the better!
