8 Tips to Sell Your Home Fast
Need to sell your home fast? Here are some tips to sell your home fast...
1. Hire a top notch sales agent. You need a good agent, someone who knows your neighborhood, the area.
2. Price it right. If the house is priced too high or too low this could easily be a deterrent. Price it right, it should sell. Your agent should know to look at comparables in your neighborhood and other factors to be able to come up with the right number.
3. Create a sales plan. Be prepared to make changes if things don't go as planned. How long will you wait before an adjustment? How much of a cut are you willing to take? Make sure you've thought of all these things before so when the time comes you don't feel so overwhelmed.
4. Get rid of the clutter. Make the house marketable for the buyer. Staging is incredibly important - make sure the house is staged!
5. Offer incentives. The idea of incentives are split in how well they work. Some believe they make the appearance that the home looks like its a "fire sale", others believe they really work. Other things you can do is offering your agent a higher commission rate for a speedy sale or some other perk for if the home sells quickly.
6. Don't get distracted by those billboards or ads that can sell your home quickly. Yes, they can probably sell your home fast, but its usually at an extremely discounted rate.
7. Ask for your company's help. If you are relocating because of your company, ask your company for assistance. Many times you may be eligible for 'home-sale' help from your employer.
8. A last option if its not selling is to rent it. Granted, the renters might not keep it in the pristine condition you probably would, but at least you would be receiving income each month. If you decide to do this, make sure you negotiate with the renters so they will allow the house to be shown at certain times. You can also rent the house with an option to buy.
