Great Advice from a Realtor

Find the Golden Mean: Price to Sell, not to Barter

After you list your home on the market, the first month is the most critical time to show and negotiate. Oftentimes sellers are eager to set their asking price much higher than the market to allow wiggle room. In theory this may be a logical idea, but in practice, more often than not, this extends rather than reduces your selling time. If your goal is really to sell your home fast, it may be in your best interest to find that middle ground where negotiation is still possible but your sellers still have an incentive to see what you offer.

Stage Your Home to Sell Fast: Clean and Arrange:

Imagine that You are Moving In

Naturally, the more easily a potential buyer can imagine him/her/themselves in your home, arranged in the manner they envision, the more easily they might begin to think about buying. When you put your house up for sale, it goes without saying that a clean and ordered home is a much more positive picture of an imaginable living space than a living room filled with boxes, clothes, and broken furniture. Especially try to empty those closets– guests are almost sure to open them!

Tip: It is best not to clear EVERYTHING away. Do not be afraid to arrange for symmetry, color, and warmth. Try your best to have as much of the home lighted as possible– darker homes give off a less-than-welcoming hue.

Curb Appeal: Landscaping and Exteriors Matter

Those First Glances Might Sell Your Home Fast

The exterior of your home is that first image your guests will remember. Overgrown weeds, broken shutters, a car in the grass– all of these things can offer a poor first-impression. If you cleaned and arranged your interior, the same needs to be done outside. It is worth it, trust us!
