Tips And Tricks For A Quick House Sale

The moving process is slow, generally speaking.

Not only do you have to find a home to move into, but you have to sell your current property too. It’s time-consuming, stressful, and ultimately, quite costly.

Thankfully, when it comes to selling your house, it is possible to speed things along. So, if you’re planning on moving anytime soon, you might want to consider the following tips to minimize the time, stress, and the cost of the house move. 

#1: Sell your home within 24 hours

Yes, this is possible. Real estate investment companies can take your property off your hands with a cash offer. They will even buy your home if it’s in a state of ill repair. While you might get more money for your house if you put it on the market, if you do choose an investment company, you will make considerable savings as you will be cutting out estate agency fees and commission costs. It’s a viable option and is worth considering. Visit We Buy Memphis Houses for one example of a real estate investment company.

#2: Ensure your ‘sale ready’

The more organized you are, the better, as if you have a mortgage in place, your documents in order, and a home that is in a fit state to be sold, you can get yourself off the property chain sooner than later. It’s about being ‘sale ready’ because if you’re ready to move, the more incentive the home buyer will have to consider your home. After all, they will be as eager as you to get off the moving chain.

#3: Make an excellent first impression

Before showing potential buyers around, do all you can to ensure your home is an attractive proposition. Make those essential home repairs, work on the outside of your home to improve its curb appeal, and ensure the home is clean and tidy for your home viewings. Your home won’t be the only one on the market, so buyers will have some freedom of choice. For this reason, it is important to make an effort with your home, as the more it stands out, the greater your opportunity for a quick sale. 

#4: De-personalize your home

You don’t have to pack every personal item into a box before showing buyers around, but you do need to make some effort so that the buyer has the freedom to imagine themselves living in your property. So, remove some of your knick-knacks. Take some of your family photos from the wall. And de-clutter overstocked rooms so the buyer has the opportunity to imagine how they might put their own stamp on your property. 

#5: Ensure your home is well-marketed

Your realtor will market your home for you, but if you don’t think they are doing a very good job of it, you need to tell them so. It might be that you switch realtor if you’re unhappy with their efforts. However, even if your realtor is doing a wonderful job, you can still take extra steps to market your property yourself. So, visit other home showings and discreetly pass your details onto buyers. Market your property on your social media channels. And even set up your own website for marketing purposes, as you can then include photos and descriptive sales points to attract potential home buyers.
