How do I sell my Home FAST asked a sobbing seller?

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Godzyk Real Estate Services NH License 033394

What happens when the phone rings at 7pm on a Sunday Night? For me, I answered it. On the other end is a caller asking me how to sell his home fast. He found another home in another state where his work is moving him. He made and offer and it was accepted. He thought he would have more time......

 

As they drove home from Mother's Day with his inlaws, he searched the Internet how to sell his Manchester NH Area home fast. He found one of my Active Rain Blogs

 

 

 

We had a great conversation and I will be listing his home this week. I thought I would share some of our conversation with you all. He kept talking about the SECRET to selling your home. It is not really a secret but his words stayed with me. He said "It is a secret if most people do not know how to do it."

 

My recipe for selling a home quickly starts with who a home owner hires. Not all listing agents are the same. Take me... First I go through the home and assess it's value. I tell him what it is worth. What he should ask and what offers may come in at for a quick sale. The next step is getting the home ready to sell. He must move quickly if he wants showings to start right away. De cluttering, minor maintenance items fixed and the house both clean and smelling good. 

 

The next step was letting the seller know what to expect. How showings are set up and what he needs to do and not do during any given showing. We spoke about how the offer process will work. Lastly the behind the scenes I put together a marketing program to meet the most potential buyers possible. I also check my data collection for any and all buyers looking in this area and price range. You see there are no short cuts, but listing it right can sell the home quick. He asked me if all agents used the same marketing. I said no. He said "the see, you do have a secret."

 

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS and the key to having a successful purchase of sale, can increase simply by choosing a better agent. The secret is, that All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest. I leave you with now infamous philosophy, which is simple, to provide more personal and professional service to guide my clients through each step of the buying or selling process.

Hi Scott - It's strange that everyone calls it a secret. Successful agents have been doing the right things for a long time, but it looks like a secret because it's work and far too few are willing to make the effort.

Thank you very much, Scott, for sharing this experience.

Home sellers are in very good hands when they select you as their listing agent.

Congrats on the new listing, and always good to answer the phone when it rings. Sounds like you have a seller who is going to listen to advice. I also learnt something reading your post and will make some changes to my listing presentation as a result. Not that i don't do it, but about telling the client what we do and what to expect, thank you.

As I match them tear for tear I would point out the Big 3, price, location, and condition and match this with what is going on in the market.

So true. It starts with hiring the right agent. Sellers have to be especially careful if they need to sell right away, like your client does.
