5 Steps to sell your home FAST!

Work related moves are extremely common and more often than not, they require the urgent need to sell a home FAST! If you find yourself in a similar situation, don’t panic. There are practical steps you can take to ensure your home sells as quickly as possible.

1. Professional pictures: You may think you have a great camera, but if you really want to impress potential buyers and sell your home fast, leave the photography to the professionals. Hire a professional photographer to come to your house and take pictures of the interior and exterior of your home. Using special lenses, lighting and expertise, the photographer will make your house look its very best.

2. Unique feature & upgrades: Added value means a lot to potential buyers. So, if your home has something new or exciting to brag about, like new wood floors, renovated bathroom, new HVAC or appliances, energy efficient windows, sound system throughout the home, new kitchen counter tops, etc., make it known to potential buyers. These features should be showcased in the listing information so the potential buyer can have a clear picture of the details of the home.

3. Below market price: No one wants to sell their home for less than it’s market value. However, listing your home below the current market price is a great way to get your home noticed quickly by realtors and potential buyers. The more people that are enticed by a great price, the more potential you have for a bidding war, that may actually raise the final price. Discuss with your realtor about a slightly lower than market value price you are comfortable with.
