In order to get the highest price in the shortest time, you need to know how to market your home.
The better you market your home, the more offers you will get. And the more offers you get, the more choices you have to get the price and terms you want.
The most important factor of selling your home is pricing it right. Your price should be adjusted to reflect the market and your property’s worth. The key is to get as many people as possible checking out your fairly priced property. If your property is not priced fairly, buyers will not make an offer (because they will think you are unrealistic.)
Another important factor is the condition of your home. Make sure that your home looks ready to be sold. Fix any defects (peeling or faded paint, cracks, stains, etc.) Condition alone can sometimes prompt fast buying decisions. Not only should you fix any defects, but consider upgrading your home by making major repairs and cosmetic improvements before selling. A nice looking home triggers the emotional response that can lead to a financial response.
Learn how to negotiate the best terms for all parties involved (or hire a qualified Realtor to do this on your behalf). Terms are another factor that may be adjusted to attract buyers. If you insist on getting your asking price, think of what you can offer to the buyers. For example, improvements you’ve made or even offering seller financing at a lower than market interest rate on a portion of the sale price. Convince them why they should be paying the price you have set.
Lastly, get the buzz out about your home. List your house with a successful Realtor that ensures your house is listed on the MLS and will be all over the internet. On your own, get the word out. It should always be visible to passersby that your house is for sale, whether it is through signs (where allowed), local advertisements or you telling friends, family, and acquaintances. Share your agent’s listing (from their website) on all of your social media accounts. As your friends to share your posts. If your Realtor is exceptional, they will also have an aggressive social media campaign.
