Tips For Selling Your Home Quickly

Posted on: 20 December 2016

If you were recently hired for a new job across the country and need to sell your home quickly, then there are many things you can do to facilitate a swift sale. Even if you want to sell in an expedient manner, you can still get top dollar for your house. To this end, here is a list of tips you can follow to successfully sell your home promptly:

Tip: Ramp Up Your Home's Curb Appeal

If you want to sell your home in an expedient manner, then your house must have maximum curb appeal. When a potential buyer pulls up to your home in their car, they need to be wowed. Your goal is to make potential buyers feel the immediate need to see the inside of your home and make an offer before anyone else does. For maximum curb appeal, make sure that your home is nicely painted, all of the landscaping is obsessively manicured, and then plant as many flowers as possible.

Tip: Completely Clean, Declutter, and Depersonalize Your Entire Home

Once your home is listed for sale, then you need to keep it impeccably clean. Since you never know when buyers will ask to tour your home, keeping it clean will make showings a lot less stressful. In addition to cleaning your house, you also need to remove any clutter and personal items from the space. Both clutter and personal items distract your buyer's attention away from your home and too much of either can make it impossible for buyers to see themselves living "in your home". Instead, clear as many items out of the home as possible so that your buyers can see themselves and their own possessions in the space. Put all of your clutter and personal items in a storage unit or out in your garage until after your home has sold. 

Tip: Price Your Home Well For Your Local Market

Finally, to quickly sell your home, you need to make sure that it is priced well for your local market. While you do not need to price your home far under its current market value, it is vital that your home isn't over-priced when you list it. Overpricing your home will result in no offers and your home lingering on the market for an extended period of time. If you price your home just below the current market value, then you will be much more likely to get an offer - or even more than one offer.
