How to Get Your Home Sold

Watch on your mobile device >>

Selling your home is all about attracting buyers to get top dollar for your biggest investment. To maximize your price, remember time is money in real estate. As with any product, when it initially comes on the market, the consumer is more willing to pay full price. The same is true of putting your home on the market. So how do you sell your home quicker? Here are four tips.

First, hire an expert advisor, not just any agent. Align yourself with this expert because they are selling your biggest asset, which will impact your bottom line.  Be sure the agent listens to you. An agent can do a personalized walk-through to let you know what you need to do—and not do—to increase your chances of getting top dollar for your biggest investment. An agent will ultimately save you time.

Second, have a strategy. It’s amazing the amount of planning people put into a one-week vacation, but how resistant they are to planning how to effectively position and sell their biggest asset. The agent will build this strategy so, for example, anyone who is looking for a house in your neighborhood and price range will know about your home, so you’ll sell it faster.

Third, be proactive and at the forefront of the market, which is called positioning.  An expert advisor will tell you how to position your home from a price and condition standpoint. Listen to the feedback when it comes to selling your home.

Fourth, be flexible. This does not necessarily mean be flexible about your selling price, but you can offer a home warranty, be flexible about the settlement date, leave the washer and dryer, and apply some money to the closing. Create a win-win situation. Your flexibility will help you sell your home faster and avoid problems with the buyer.
