5 Ways to Speed Up Your Sale

Understand these are 5 general ways to speed up your sale. If you have worked with a full-time professional Realtor and together you have analyzed your best course of action for your specific situation this information may not be applicable. Your agent is your best source of real estate information.

1. Price it right. Set a price at the lower end of your property's realistic price range.

2. Get your house market-ready for at least two weeks before you begin showing it.

3. Be flexible about showings. It's often disruptive to have a house ready to show on the spur of the moment, but the more often someone can see your home, the sooner you'll find a seller.

4. Be ready for the offers. Decide in advance what price and terms you'll find acceptable.

5. Don't refuse to drop the price. If your home has been on the market for more than 30 days without an offer, be prepared to lower your asking price.

Hi Dan - Good points.  The other is occupancy.  What happens if a buyer comes and pays full price but wants to close in 30 days?
