Selling a home takes time and effort whether you sell it with the help of a realtor or on your own. No matter the course of action, there is work to be done before listing. Taking these 6 steps to bring attention to your property will help ensure its quick sale.
1. Leave Nothing Out
Many of today’s home shoppers start their search online. To help home buyers know if they are truly interested in your property you need to give them all the information they could want. List your home’s square-footage, amenities and special features.
2. Look At Comparables
Take a look at other properties on the market in your area. Consider what has sold and for how much and take and honest look at how you home measures up.
3. Set A Price
If you want to sell your home quickly your biggest deal maker is the price. For a quick sale, discount your home 5-25 percent below the rest of the market. If other homes in your area are listed at an average of $250,000 consider a price in the $230s or into the $100s.
4. Landscape
Poorly kept landscape can be a big turnoff for buyers just like a nicely kept yard can attract the buyer you want. Take a good hard look at your home and think about what a potential buyer will see. Rake, trim and paint to give your home an inviting appearance.
5. Clean It Up
If you want a quick sale chances are you’re ready to get out of there yourself. Make your home inviting to buyers ready to move right in by cleaning it from head to toe. The cleaner and more inviting your house is the quicker someone will fall in love with it.
6. Get It Out There
Now it’s time to get your house seen. Print flyers, place adds in papers and utilize online real estate sites. The more people who see your house the better chance you have of finding its next owner.
