Selling a house isn’t easy. If you’ve been thinking about selling your home and you want to sell your house as quickly as possible, there are a few ways that you can help your house sell fast and for the highest price. There are some factors you can’t control, like location or noisy neighbors. Fortunately, there are seven important things you can do to give your house the best shot at selling.

1. Fix what’s broken

Buyers are always looking for the perfect move-in ready home, so fixing your home is key. Remember that most families want something they can move into right away without spending months working on. If there are problems with the home that you can easily fix, whether it be chipping paint or a broken fence post, try to fix them before you list your house. 

2. Update your appliances

It’s important to remember that homebuyers have specific items they look for in a home. For many buyers great appliances are number one on their wish list for a home. That’s where you come in. While you probably can’t afford to update every one of your home’s appliances, take a hard look at what your current setup looks like. Is the stove outdated? Is the fridge about to die? Buying a new fridge, dishwasher or oven might not be the way you want to spend your money, but it could help you sell your house.

3. Take breathtaking pictures (I Take Care of this!)

Pictures are one of the most important ways that you can draw in potential buyers. If someone is looking for a new home, they’ll typically take a look at real estate websites before setting up showings or attending open houses. Because so many shoppers look online before they decide to explore a house in person, it’s important that your pictures look great.  We'll highlight the best areas of your home and skip the ones that are less attractive to buyers. 

4. Ditch your clutter

Clearing out junk is easier said than done, but if you want to sell your house quickly, you need to ditch your clutter. Get rid of extra papers, magazines or memorabilia that is sitting around your house. Clean out beneath your beds. Get rid of that pile of clothes next to your dresser. When people walk through your house, they want to imagine what it will be like to live in the home. Even if you can’t get rid of all of your home’s clutter, try to at least minimize the amount of things you have on shelves and on counters to present a clean, neat appearance to buyers. 

5. Advertise, advertise, advertise (This is Mine Too!)

My customers receive the benefits of my comprehensive marketing plan that advertises your home in many medium including social media platforms, print, internet and Open Houses.

6. Price fairly (I'll help make this step easy for you)

You’ve spent years developing memories in your house, so it’s normal to want to attach a price tag to those. Unfortunately, the reality is that you can’t afford to ask too much for your house. Remember that buyers are looking for a good deal. They want to know that they’re getting their money’s worth when they buy a house.

7. Don’t be choosy

It is most common that the first offer received, will be the highest you receive.  There are many other terms to consider besides the price and I'll help you decipher the contract.  It is often wise to sell your home to the first person who makes an offer that is reasonable and that you’re comfortable with.  I'll help you to interpret all the terms of the offer to make sure it's the best deal for you.
