How to sell your home faster!!!

Here are a few keys that could help you sell your faster!!! There are plenty of things that we as Realtors should be doing, but there are also things that need to be done on your end as well. These are just a few of the things that could help you sell your house a bit faster!

Price. Price is the key to all hearts. Have your Realtor do a CMA, and see what has sold, what has been removed from the market, and what is listed actively on the market right now. You don't want to put your house on the market at $269,000 when the last 4 homes that have sold that are very similar to yours have sold for $225,000. Likewise if a house like yours has been sitting on the market for over 150 days at $265,00. Competitevly price your home to sell.

Clean & Declutter. Put dirty clothes away, out of sight. Put dishes in dishwasher. Make your beds. Take down personal photos, and if you have a lot of nick-nacks, start packing them up! You are trying to sell your house anyway, so why not start the packing a little early! Make the beds, fix the pillows on the couch. Be ready to show your house at any given moment.

Tidy up the outside. You know what they say "don't judge a book by its cover" but by all means, most people do anyway. They look at the outside of a home, with no landscaping, a shutter hanging by a thread, and a screen with a big hole in it, & the grass hasn't been cut in over 2 weeks, & they think "well.... if they can't keep up with the outside, then there is no way they are keeping up with the inside". So keep your grass cut, maybe add a little touch of landscaping (don't over do it), and make sure all of the shutters, siding, window screens, etc are in working order. & don't forget to spray the weed killer! Make your home desirable and people will desire it.

You have to understand that sometimes it is the little things like these that could help sell your home. If potential buyers can picture themselves living in your home, can picture their furniture, and their belongings in your home... then they can see themselves buying that home. If buyers can drive up to your home and say wow, this home is taken care of on the outside, and go inside and see the same thing, then they are going to feel at ease & know that this home was loved and cared for. This is going to make your home stand out to other sellers who have not taken the time to do these such things, which is going to make these buyers remember your house!
