5 Important Tips on How to Sell Your Home Fast and for Top Dollar

 

Home sellers often have this two things in mind when selling his or her home:

How fast can I sell my home and how much profit do I get from it?

 

Below are tips on how to sell your home fast and for top dollar.

Hire the right listing agent

You need to have the right listing agent to guide you in selling your home. Ninety-one percent of the sellers used the help of a listing agent.  

Having the right listing agent will be able to ensure to list you on MLS and to market your property competitively. You will have an expert to help you avoid missteps during the entire transaction.

Sell at the right time

Unless you are in dire need to sell your property fast, it is advisable to have your home listed when the timing is right. The best time to sell still varies from place to place.

Statistics show that spring is the best time to have your home out in the market. It is during Spring that buyers go out to look for homes in their preferred school districts. Homes sold during this time generally go fast and for more money.

Price it right

Find a market sweet spot but be realistic! Pricing the property too low may cause suspicion from the buyer. On the other hand, pricing it too high may turn the buyer off and look elsewhere.

Pricing your home right is a crucial component in selling your home. Your listing agent should be able to provide you with a competitive price based on comps (Comparable Market Analysis). Both of you can come up with a strategy to make sure that your home doesn’t sit in the market too long.  

Stage your home

Every home seller must showcase the best feature of his or her home to attract more buyers. First impressions last! Make the buyers fall in love with your property the moment they lay eyes on it so work hard on the curb appeal.

Stage the inside of the house such that a potential buyer would appreciate the size and use of every room of the house. A staged home is more likely to be sold faster compared to a bare home.

Be ready at all times

Be ready to show your property. Once your listing is out, expect that potential buyers would call to see the house. Make sure to declutter and depersonalize your home.

Be ready to review offers and negotiate. Work with your listing agent to carefully read through each one of them. Make counter offers, if necessary.

Be ready to make adjustments. If there are a great number of showings but few (to no) offers, discuss it with your listing agent to make necessary changes.

The goal is to make sure that you sell your home fast and for top dollar. Committing to follow these tips will ensure better pay-off.
