Selling Your Home? 4 Techniques to Help You Sell It Fast

When you’re looking to sell your home quickly, it’s important to be intentional about your strategy. It is really wise to hire a REALTOR to help you with selling your home, and it’s important to take a hands-on approach as well.  It’s your property and your investment. Therefore, you can take a more proactive stance in making sure your house sells quickly and for the price you desire. Consider the following ways a licensed REALTOR will help your house sell quickly and ASK about these points when interviewing your listing agent.

Turn Your House into a Model Home

Hire a professional ASP Home Stager who can properly advise you on what to keep and what to pack up and put away as your get ready to sell.  Clean out your home – but don’t remove things before talking to the pro.  Some homeowners strip away too much leaving the house feeling stark and cold. Only keep the items that you absolutely need in order to function. Declutter your home of what’s unnecessary. Put the larger items in a storage unit. A junk hauling company, like AAA Rousse, can come and get rid of what you need to get rid of. Once you’re able to fully declutter your home, turn it into a model home.  Your ASP Home Stager can help do this using your things or adding furnishings and décor to create the needed “WOW” Factor. You just want to make sure it’s ready for potential buyers.

Increase the Curb Appeal

Take a look at the outside of your home. Give it an honest, unbiased review. Your professional ASP Home Stager can help you with this aspect of preparing your house.  If you were ready to buy a home, would you want to purchase the property based on the way it looks from the outside? If the answer is no, it’s important to take a look at what you can do to change the look. Plant a garden. Invest in landscaping services. Trim shrubs and limb trees that are blocking the view of the house.  First impressions can be lasting impressions. Don’t miss this component.

Invest in Great Real Estate Photography

While the camera on a smartphone might be able to take nice pictures, agents don’t necessarily have the skills and expertise of a professional real estate photographer. This is why it’s best they hire one – so ask when interviewing a listing agent what steps they take for photos and whether they use a professional photographer for all photos.  Ask to see examples of past listing to ensure they are using a professional resource. A real estate photographer can use light, shadows, and angles to capture your home in its best light, and since 99% of all buyers look online first to preview a potential property for purchase, the photos and virtual tours are critical to capture the buyer’s attention.

Promote Your Home on Social Media

Once you have the beautiful photos and videos of your home, your REALTOR will initiate marketing on industry websites and social media pages to promote and sell the home. They understand how to use the right hashtags to help you get your house in front of the right people. As part of their marketing strategy, they may also purchase the right social media advertisements to help your posts gain more visibility.  You can ask for the images to use in your personal social media to share with your family and friends as you never know who may know the perfect buyer for your house! When you’re intentional about making sure you implement these tips, you’ll be able to make headway. Depending on the time you’re selling, you might experience a lot of competition. On the other hand, if you make sure your home is an investment worth making, you can make the decision regarding which offer is the most attractive to you.   Rachelle Wilber is a freelance writer living in the San Diego, California area.
