Selling Fast!

Following these steps will ensure that you get more buyers interested in your property than the competition.
1. The first and most important step is to see it as a house, not your home, but a product that needs to be marketed. This is difficult. We often attach personal power to our homes. It is so important to look objectively at the pros and cons in a buyer's eyes.
2. It is a good idea to go over your home carefully. You just want to be sure that there are no unpleasant surprises at the buyers inspection. Never attempt to cover over a flow. If you cannot afford to repair the problem, openly state it and reflect it in the price.
3. Be realistic about price. An overpriced home sits on the market and loses buyers. They buy something else while you are waiting to get a few more bucks. In the long run it usually brings less than if it had been priced right in the first place.
4. Beautify, neaten up and appeal to the greatest number. Neutral is better. Curb appeal is key.
5. Have all unfinished projects complete. Buyers would rather not do heavy maintenance or finish projects right away.
6. Try not to have a home that identifies only one group. You want whoever qualifies to like your home, not just someone like you.
