 Have you ever wondered why some homes sell in two hours and others take months even years to sell? What many people don’t realize is that selling your home is more of an art than a science. However, there are a few things you can do to speed up the sale of your home. Physical Condition If your home looks poorly maintained, cluttered or outdated, many prospective buyers won’t look twice at it. In today’s society, many people would just rather move in with minimal repairs because they have the time in their busy schedule to fix up properties. Asking Price If your home is overpriced and in about the same condition as other properties for sale in your price range, then your competition will get the contract and not you. Most homes sell for about 96% of their list price. If you price your house too high and later lower the price then you’ve lost some prime selling time. Financing If you have equity in your home you may want to consider assisting a new homebuyer with some |

options. In addition to that, we have financing programs that will give
you the added edge in selling your home. The Realtor vs. Selling Your Home Yourself Many of you may wonder why people would pay a Realtor for selling your home. The answer is quite simple. You’ll sell it faster to a broader pool of people. If you’re looking to sell your home quickly, this is definitely the way to go. Leave The House Prospective buyers will not feel comfortable walking around your home if you’re there. In fact, they’ll most likely move quickly and move onto the next house. Be Flexible—Not Greedy When you get a decent offer, strongly consider it. I’ve seen people haggle over $500 and lose a contract, only to have to wait several months later to sell their home. The best way to handle an offer is to look at it as a business and not take the offer personally. As always, I’m here to help you out. We have several ways to assist you in the home sales process, so please don’t hesitate to call. |
