Five Tips to Sell Home Fast

To get started, click here

Selling your home can mean trying times for you and your family, especially if you have to get out quickly.  This could be due to change in employment status, illness, relocation, or retirement.  Below are five tips to sell home fast, without spending a lot of extra money.

1. Price – Homes that sell quickly are normally priced right.  Even homes that are in need of repairs can sell fast if the price is right.  We all think our home is worth more than what the appraisers say they’re worth.  In most cases, we’ve spent a lot of time and money fixing up and making changes over the years, but you have to accept that overpricing your home will result in NO SALE. 

2. Housekeeping – Removing all clutter from your home can make a big difference in the number of offers you receive.  Clean closets, organized cabinets, and junk-free basements and garages are far more attractive to potential homebuyers. 

3. Open House – No one wants people tracking through their homes at any given time, but it’s necessary in order to sell the home.  If you are working with an agent, you could get a call at anytime.  If you are doing it solo, you can schedule an open house on a Sunday afternoon to get more people looking at the home. 

4. Advertising -   Whether you’re using an agent or selling it on your own, advertising is key.  You want to utilize every possible opportunity to list your home for sale.  This can include local newspapers, real estate magazines, supermarket bulletin boards, even online listings.  

5. Pre-Inspection – Paying for an inspection will help you in two ways.  One, buyers will feel at ease knowing that the home has already been inspected.  Two, this is one less step that needs to be done before the closing, so you can close the deal much quicker.

If you just want out, and you don’t want to go through all the formalities of advertising, open houses, and real estate agents, consider a private investor.  They will come in and inspect the home.  If you can negotiate a fair price, it’s a deal.

Marketing Tips To Sell That House

To get started, click here

The most important tip is in pricing your home.  If your home is not competitive then you will be out of the loop no matter how appealing your home might be.  Be sure to price your home according to other existing homes in your area.  Find a few comparables and list accordingly.  Many sellers are offering incentives to purchasing their property.  You might offer to pay the buyers closing costs, install landscaping or a deck, an elegant dinner out for the purchaser or pay the bill for the buyers moving company.  In going this route be sure that your “offer” is included in all marketing ads.   Most sellers are going the extra mile for Open House as well.  Consider having your showing catered.  Play soft music and offer a token such as a rose as they come inside.  Do the same for your “Broker” walk through.  Most brokers have so many homes to view that it might be impossible to take the necessary time with your home.  Offer incentives for them as well such as hosting a lunch out on the veranda or deck or catered ordearves and champagne.  It is all about enticing in this market.  Curb appeal is just an absolute.  If the home is not attractive from the curb then no matter how you entice it will not get the attention that you need from brokers or buyers.  Plant flowers, pull weeds, trim trees, pressure wash driveways and walkways.  Paint and add a new front door if you need to.  Do not forget to install some yard lighting as many buyers are out after dark to view the inventory out there.  Consider having your home “staged” by a professional Home Stager.  Home staging is just part of good marketing.  Your home must show professionally both inside and out and home staging is the way to go.  It does not cost a fortune to have this done and you will get a higher appraisal value in doing so.  Keep in mind that the home stager is trained to design your home to appeal to mass buyers and it is a proven fact that the staged home sells quicker than homes that are not prepared for showing.

While it is true that it is difficult to compete in this market we hope that we have offered some valuable tools to help you get the sell.  For more information and tips on selling your home see us at http://www.Homestages.com

Proven Tips to Sell Your Fixer Upper Property Fast

To get started, click here

So, you’ve recently purchased a fixer upper property and are looking for proven ways to sell it faster. Well, we hear you. You’ve made a good deal and you want your profits quickly. Don’t fret, we can help! In this brief article, we will provide you with proven tips on selling your fixer upper home faster than you ever thought possible. So, without further adieu, let’s get started.

1. Take care of any minor or major repairs. This includes taking care of removing ugly wallpaper, repairing leaking faucets or cracked foundations, fixing bad plumbing, etc.  By taking care of any problems beforehand, you will make the fixer upper house more marketable.

2. Ensure that the fixer upper property has good curb appeal. this is because a fixer upper that looks good on the outside will likely sell faster than those one that doesn’t.  Therefore, you must make sure the property looks good for those driving by. For instance, you should take care of those weeds and trim those shrubs. You should plant new flowers. In addition, if the outside is extremely dirty, you should pressure wash it so that it looks appealing and clean.

3. Paint the inside and outside of the fixer upper property. That is, you should add some personal and homey looking touches for the new owner.  For instance, you can add decorative accents like new faucets, ceiling fans, toilets, doorknobs, outside lights, etc which will give the fixer upper home a really nice feel.

4. Make sure that the fixer upper property has maximum exposure. So, if you’re selling it yourself as a for sale by owner, you will need to place prominent ads in the newspaper, put it into the MLS system, put adequate signs in the yard, run open houses, etc. In contrast, if you are working with a realtor, she will handle all of your marketing efforts. However, you must make sure your realtor is aggressive and successfully markets the property to get your property sold fast.

5. Devise a contingency sales strategy. Your plan should include a plan of action in case your property doesn’t sell for the asking price or within your preferred time limit. For instance, will you rent out the property, lower your price or offer buyer incentives like paying their down payment, etc? That is, make sure you have a plan in place in case the selling doesn’t go as anticipated.

In conclusion, you can sell your fixer upper property and get maximum money for your efforts if you follow the above mentioned tips. Although they do require a bit of work, the effort will be well worth it when you walk away with a huge check for your efforts.

Good luck!
