Ways to Sell Your Home Faster Part 2
We’ve taken a close look at how to get yourself on track when selling your condo. Now in part two of this article series we’re going to take a closer look at other common issues sellers face and how they can be avoided.
Your homes accessibility is a major consideration. If your house is easy to find and get to, it will typically move quicker than homes that are difficult to get to. Remember that your potential buyers and their realtors are busy. They will skip seeing your home if it is a hassle to view. Make sure to always use a lockbox so other agents may access your house while you are away. This way the buyer and their agent’s life easier. If security is an issue, use an electronic lock box (they record who accessed your home).
Location has a huge impact on how quickly your home will sell. If you are in a central location or an area with a good reputation then you can likely count on a smooth sale. If you are in an area that is not well known or further away it is going to be up to your Realtor to market the benefits of living in your area. How close you are to basic amenities like grocery stores, gas stations, and family basics like schools, parks (etc.) will have an impact on the sale of your home as well. Make sure to highlight features like: “well developed area”, “quiet and restful”
Details count, for a lot! When you go to sell your home, have your personal Realtor come in and evaluate your property. 9 times out of 10 they will have a list of things you should do in order to sell your home quickly and for the price you want. Basic things that must be done no matter what are: give the walls a fresh coat of paint. If you do not have the time and can afford to have someone do it for you, then make sure to wash them very well. This makes one of the biggest cosmetic differences to your home. Things like carpet, tiles, even the grout between the tiles should sparkle without exception. A simple rule to follow is: if it can be cleaned it should be, and if can be cleaner or sparkle a little more than it should.
Next time in this article series we will be discussing the finer aspects of dealing with buyers, their demands and how to maximize the value of your home.
