1. A Great Agent Can Sell a Property Fast
When you’re ready to sell your property, you may think that ‘For Sale By Owner’ is the way to go. According to Zillow.com, only 11% of sellers that attempt to sell without a real estate agent actually close the sale.
Local licensed real estate agents are knowledgeable about your area and are experts in the real estate field. They know all the ins and outs of selling homes and can help make your experience as painless (and profitable) as possible.
An agent will know how to sell your home fast. She’ll help you decide on a fair listing price, list your property on MLS, show potential buyers, and handle all the details for closing the sale as quickly as possible.
2. De-Clutter and Stage Your Property
In order to sell your home quickly, you want to make a great first impression on potential buyers. It’s time to de-clutter. Remove everything from the home except the absolute basic necessities.
You don’t need the twenty books that are stacked on your nightstand. One or two will do. The kids don’t need every toy they own, just a few are sufficient. This is not forever, only until your current home is sold and you’re enjoying your new one.
Once everything is de-cluttered, it’ll be easy to keep everything neat and tidy. Be sure to stage your home to make it attractive to potential buyers. Arrange furniture to create the best flow and most inviting sitting areas. Fresh flowers and good lighting create a warm, homey atmosphere as well.
3. Seek Out Local Real Estate Investors
Did you know there are some investors who are willing to pay cash for your property? Whether you’re selling a rental property or the home you currently live in, real estate investors are often willing to make a cash offer to purchase your property.
If you’re ready to sell your home quickly for cash, you should consider seeking out local investors who buy homes. Cash investors have the benefit of being able to close quickly, usually in less than 30 days, because banks don’t have to be involved.
Another benefit to selling to a real estate investor is that there are those that are willing to buy homes ‘as is’, meaning you won’t be required to do any improvements or repairs in order to make the sale. No repairs mean a faster closing time.
