Key tips for selling property quickly:
1. Choose the right real estate agent
The real estate agent you choose has a big factor in the price you will get and how quickly you will sell. Use a reputable one and they will have a bigger client base and be able to book more viewings for you, which increases the odds of you selling. The right real estate agent can talk you through the process of a home evaluation and they can get your home the price you’re looking for. You want this sale to be completed and come out of it with a profit in hand, and that depends on the right real estate agent working with you. Choose a new real estate agent and you risk them not having a big client base and only getting a few people to view.
The more reputable ones will also come with more experience on extra tips which you can apply to help sell your property. Before choosing a real estate agent, take a moment to read over their customer reviews as this will give you a good indication on what previous sellers think of them.
2. Hire a real estate photographer
We can’t stress to you how important a real estate photographer is to selling property quickly. They cost extra, but you will get that money back and extra, when you sell your property as they will help you sell it for more. A photographer will take high-resolution photos which you can use to market your property. Their experience will help capture the most interesting photos of your property which in turn, will lead to more people wanting to come and view. It happens too many times when someone has taken photos of their property on their phone and wondered why they aren’t generating much interest.
3. Declutter your home
When you have people viewing your home, you want them to instantly fall in love and picture themselves living there. If you have a cluttered home, they will find it harder to imagine this and be more likely to put a lower in or no offer at all. As the days lead up to people coming to view, spend a couple of hours going through your stuff and getting rid of anything you no longer need.
Not only will this help you sell quicker and for more, but it will also help when you move, as you will have less to bring with you – plus, you will have to declutter when you move anyway. Decluttering is something a lot of people do when they are tired of their home.
4. Dress your property nicely
When you know people are coming around, make an effort to dress your property nicely. Buy some flowers and place them in different rooms to make them look more desirable. Spray each room or use a read diffuser to make it smell nice and move your plants around as they will add colour and increase the dynamic of a room. If you have a garden, it goes without saying, make sure you have mowed your lawn, as nothing is more unappealing than a property with an overgrown back garden.
