Sometimes we may need to sell our home fast. It could be a job offer, financial problems or you need a larger home to accommodate family. Finding a home quickly in these circumstances can be overwhelming. You need to sell your home first; you need to find another place quickly or sometimes in life a job loss or other financial woes can quickly come into play. Here are some tips on what you can do to make this new reality come to fruition.
Find the right real estate team – Our Anne Winch Real Estate Team can Help!
The first step is to find the right person to sell your home. You need somebody who knows the market and has a sales record that shows you that you are in good hands. Our real estate team will help you throughout the process of selling and buying. We will make sure that you have top-notch photos and negotiate the sale or purchase of your next place. We will include writing up a listing that highlights all the features of your home, market your home online and encourage buyers with showings and open houses.
Priced to sell.
If you wish to sell your home quickly you need to be competitive in pricing. You must set emotions aside and let your real estate team evaluate your home. You want to encourage buyers to look at your home so that multiple offers may be on the table. This is not a time to price your home too high! You should also look at price points for buyers searching online. If you put your home at $402K for example, you may miss buyers who are searching for homes online at $400K. You don’t want to lose a sale for $2K.
Clean, declutter and depersonalize.
Decluttering is always needed when you are selling your home and with Spring right around the corner, now is the time to roll up your sleeves and purge. Sometimes it is hard to part with certain items but a neat and tidy home, complete with staging will sell quickly.
Our Team can help arrange your furniture so your home looks inviting, and buyers can move efficiently throughout your home. No worries if your furniture is a little old-fashioned. We have a warehouse of staging furniture and accessories to modernize your home to sell and our home staging is free!
Here are some other tips to get your home sold in no time.
- Boost your curb appeal – you want to make a good first impression.
- Take care of quick repairs – repair screens, leaky taps, or stains on the floors/carpets.
- Sweeten the deal – be flexible on move-in/move-out schedules, agree to inspections and transfer any home warranties to the new buyers.
The bottom line!
If you need to sell your home fast, it can be stressful for sure! Focus on the impression your home will leave with buyers. Buyers can decide from the curb to when they open the front door whether they like your home or not. Make every minute count with a great real estate team, a spruced-up house and by accepting a sound financial offer.
