1. Make your home look appealing from the outside and then work your way to the inside of your home. The first thing a buyer does is drive buy a home to see if the neighborhood appeals to them and then see if the home for sale appeals to them. If your landscaping is poor and your home needs a paint job then the buyer might not want to see the inside of your home. You need to get to work before you try to sell your home. Landscaping is cheap compared to the holding cost associated with selling your home. Have your home professionally pressure washed. It is amazing what a good professionally pressure wash will do for the appearance of your home. Make sure there is no clutter in the yard. If there are junk cars and toys in the yard then get rid of them. One of the best ways to add value to your home is to paint the garage floor and make the garage look as roomy as possible. Make sure the clutter is gone from the inside of your home. People don’t want to see all of your junk. A potential buyer wants to see the home for its possibilities and they can’t do that if your stuff is everywhere. If you have time then a fresh coat of neutral paint works wonders.
2. Price your home properly. The reason most homes don’t sell fast is because the price is too high. Bottom line is that price is the number one reason someone buys your home or not. The home can be in poor shape but the price is right and someone will buy it fast. Think about the cost associated with holding the home for four to six months while you try to sell it. Wouldn’t it be better to sell the home now for less money? If everyone that has your exact home is selling for $110,000 then sell yours for $100,000.
3. Show your home to as many potential buyers as possible. This seems obvious but how do you get people to be interested in your home? Consider advertising on the internet. Many people look for a home using the internet before making an appointment to see the house. As a buyer I can look at many homes online without wasting my time. Advertising on the internet is fairly inexpensive and you have potentially millions of buyers.
4. Let everyone in the neighborhood know that you are selling your home. Create a flyer for your home and pass it out to all your neighbors. Create an incentive (maybe $500) for the person who brings a buyer to the table. Your neighbors are already sold on your neighborhood and now they will help you sell your home to their friends. Have a party and open house just for you neighbors.
5. Find real estate investors who want to buy your home. After you consider the cost of selling your home you might want to just sell it fast to an investor. Real estate investors are in the business of buying homes. Real estate investors buy good homes and bad homes. They usually pay cash and can close in two weeks. Real estate investors are easy to deal with because they know the value of your home. They don’t require you to fix the problems or make the home look good. They normally make an offer their first visit. If you want many investors to consider buying your home then click HERE and submit your information.
