To Sellers, How To Sell Your House Fast

There are probably hundreds of articles written about how to sell your house.  And some of us figured out the best ways after the house is sold.  And so you tried to reach the buyers when you decided that it is time to sell your house.  So, what are the considerations that we can provide for you to sell your house fast?  Read on…

• Concentrate on curb appeal.  In real estate, first impression matters.  The outside appearance of a house will be the first thing that greets a buyer.  Spend a reasonable sum of money dedicated to upgrade the façade of your house.  Fresh paint or a new vinyl covering could liven up a rather gloomy appearance.  Trimming bushes, cut tidy well maintained lawn can practically transform a house into a homey and livable place that will attract buyers.  In addition to that, if your house looks good outside, buyers will see it as an added benefit when they are buying the house because they no longer have to spend time and money for this one important part of the house.
• Transform your house into a ready to move condition.  Major expense for repairs doesn’t have to happen.  All that’s needed is attending to the necessary repairs that have to happen right before you sell your house.  Examples are leaky faucet, a broken light bulb, broken doorknobs, any electrical wiring and just about anything that meets the immediate eye of the buyer during the visit.  Buyers can be meticulous about the aesthetic value of the house.  And like me, I would prefer to move into a house that looks like it is safe, secure, clean and tidy which brings me to the third topic.
• Clutter free house.  It should very well delight the buyers to see a tidy house. An eyesore can be disappointing and will give a buyer the second thought especially if they have visited another house already and they are now at the stage of comparing the houses they’ve been to before making the most important decision of their lives.  Harmony in a house can be easily achieved without doing excessive hard work.  Put yourself in the buyer shoes and organize your house in such a way that it will look attractive and clutter free.  You can also rearrange the furniture and remove all the unnecessary ones that are only blocking the space of your house.  Learn to become minimal and neutral in your choices of colors.  If you think you missed the boat last year, this time, check out what colors is trendy for the year 2014 and repaint your living room to attract buyers.
• Be sensible with your asking price.  Pricing your house appropriately is very important. Check out what’s the fair price of your house.  Have it appraised before selling so you have an idea of the market value of your house.  You can make use of the internet tools available online to compare prices in your area.  You might set your price a bit higher than most houses in your neighborhood if you have several new changes in your house and point this out to the potential buyers that your house has more features to make them understand your asking price. Of course, most buyers will try to negotiate with you and you must be willing to meet halfway so you can both arrive in a win-win situation.

We at Working With Houses also respect the fact that some sellers really need instant cash for their house and so we make it our responsibility to get to the point of helping the seller by giving an immediate solution to their needs.  We offer to close in a short amount of time.  If it is possible for you to close on the home within 30 to 60 days, this will probably help you in getting the contract faster than most buyers.
