How to Help Sell Your Home Quickly and for the Most Money

When you list your home, you would prefer it to sell it quickly. It’s like
being the first one served at a crowded ice cream parlour. It’s satisfying.

However, sometimes there’s more to it than that. There may be a truly urgent reason why you need to find a buyer for your property as soon as possible, such as a sudden job relocation.

If that’s the case, it’s important to explain your situation to your Realtor®, who will be able to put together an action plan for selling your home quickly and for the best price possible.

During that conversation, ask what you can do to help the process along;
Spread the word to your family & friends and other connections on your social
media sites.

Here are some things that you can do to maximize your home's appearance:

Exterior

• Keep the grass freshly cut.

• Remove all yard clutter.

• Apply fresh paint to wooden fences.

• Paint the front door.

• Weed and apply fresh mulch to garden beds.

• Clean windows inside and out.

• Tighten and clean all door handles.

• Ensure gutters and downspouts are firmly attached.

Interior

• Remove excessive wall hangings, furniture and knickknacks 

  (consider a temporary self-storage unit).

• Clean or paint walls and ceilings.

• Shampoo carpets.

• Clean and organize cabinets and closets.

• Repair all plumbing leaks, including faucets and drain traps.

• Clean all light fixtures.

When it comes to price, be prepared to be flexible. That doesn't mean you
must settle for a price far below your home’s market value.  As we have often said;
it is important to have a good real estate agent who is an experienced negotiator
that will work on your behalf to net you the most money possible.

Also be open to as many viewings and open houses as possible. Having
many prospective buyers come through your home within a short period of
time may be a little inconvenient, but the pay off might be an offer!

Finally, work with your Realtor®.  They know the local market well and
have many ideas for selling your property fast.

Call us today and let us help you sell your home fast!
