August 27, 2008 When a Seller asks me "How can I sell my home fast?" I tell them the home must smell good, look good and be priced right!
There really is no other way to put it. When a buyer walks in the home they want to be able to breathe in a fresh smell. Not a artifical smell or one of stuffy or musty smells.
The home needs to look like you have had pride of ownership. If they can look through the home and see that you have taken care to make sure the home has had the normal repairs done for them, they know that they will not find any surpises later on when it is time for the inspection.
Pricing is the most important. If the home is not priced right then you will not even get the buyer to come in to look at the home.
Buying real estate is often an emotional decision, but when selling real estate you need to remove emotion from the equation.
You need to think of your house as a marketable commodity. Property. Real estate. Your goal is to get others to see it as their potential home. If you do not consciously make this decision, you can inadvertently create a situation where it takes longer to sell your property.
Do not do anything expensive, such as remodeling. If possible, use savings to pay for any repairs and improvements - do not go charging up credit cards or obtaining new loans. Remember that part of selling a house is also preparing to buy your next home. You do not want to do anything that will affect your credit scores or hurt your ability to qualify for your next mortgage.
