How Can I Sell My House Quickly
Often I heard people ask, how do I sell my property fast? There are many reasons why people would like to sell their property/properties. Most of the time it’s about money. The longer you hold onto the property, the more money you will spend to maintain it; mortgage payment, mortgage interest, property tax, homeowners insurance and of course, any other maintenance cost to at least keeping it clean.
Here are a few tips to sell your home quick and possible top dollar:
Clean it up and declutter.
Whether you’re going on a date or selling a house, first impression is always important. Make your house presentable. If possible, hire a staging designer/company. Potential buyers love to see a clean house. When it is clean, it gives an impression that the house is very well maintained so there will be less issue in the future. Also, it is easier to see the layout of the house when it is clean and it will help potential buyers to see themselves live in your clean house. For pet owners, if possible, move your pet/pets somewhere else during the period of selling your house.
Price your house correctly
Do your due diligence. If you price your house too high, there will be a chance that your house will sit on the market for a while. Just like anything else, the longer it is in the market, the less negotiating power you have.
Take good pictures and post them on major real estate selling sites with good description.
Pictures say a thousand words. Good pictures will entice people to want to see your house. The more pictures you post, the better. Just like anything in life, people has to like what they see in order for them to buy it. So, if possible, hire a professional photographer to create nice pictures for your home selling site. Also write a good story about the neighborhood and point out all the positives about the location.
Make your home easily accessible.
If you/your tenant still live in the house, make sure you/your tenant has flexible time to show the house. If the house is empty, make sure the lock box is working properly.
