5 Ways to Sell Your Home Faster Without Extra Costs

 

You may be in a hurry to sell your house for any number of reasons. Whether you need the cash to make the payment on another property or have to move for employment, you’re probably looking to liquidate your asset sooner rather than later.

 

This blog brings you five tips to ensure your home doesn’t sit on the listings for too long.

 

Your house is your largest asset so naturally you wouldn’t hand it over to just anybody. Selecting a real estate agent who is qualified to do the job is key. To sell your home fast, it’s imperative that your realtor has experience in the residential real estate market.

 

 

Once you’ve selected a real estate service, sit down with their agent and make sure you’re both on the same page. Let them know your requirements and how long you’re willing to wait to make the sale.

 

Do some research and check how much other homes in the area have sold for recently. This will give you an idea of what is a fair asking price based on your own home’s level of desirability. Your real estate agent should help you find the right pricing strategy, but it may be a good idea to slightly underprice your home. This will attract multiple buyers who may up-bid the original price.

 

Once you’ve decided to sell, it’s time to clean up, depersonalize and declutter.

 

Get everything in order to stage your home. Consider sending pets to friends, family, or a boarding facility to avoid pet dander sticking to surfaces. In fact, you too, may want to move out temporarily to ensure potential buyers who walk in at the drop of a hat are welcomed into a clean space. Staging your home doesn’t mean you have to spend extra. Rearrange your furniture, put away excessive items, and at the very most, borrow props from people you know.

Now that you’ve set the stage for success, take out your camera. First impressions are often made when buyers see images of a house. Flattering photos will mean buyers are intrigued and want to come over for a viewing. Here are some tips for professional-style images.

 

• Try and capture your house in the evening light; they call it the golden hour for a reason!

• If you’re taking wide-angle photos, make sure they’re not distorted

• Get multiple shots of each room

• Avoid photo-filters

• Don’t forget to get a far-shot of the exterior

Needless to say, you want to take these pictures after staging your home.

 

When it comes to closing, deals with cash buyers go through much faster than those that are dependent on lenders. It’s not always possible, but in the scenario that a cash buyer is present, you’ll sell your home faster.
