- “Pristine houses are more attractive to a buyer, which will keep the buyer excited,” says Debi Benoit, principal and broker at Benoit Mizner Simon & Co. Real Estate in Wellesley, MA. “And an excited buyer always pays more and usually will write an offer quickly.
- HAVE YOUR HOUSE STAGED
- “It’s best to present the home in its best light,” explains Nile Lundgren, an agent with Trent & Company in New York City. He once had a listing—unstaged—on the market for five months without ever getting an offer.”We took it off the market, staged it, reshot photos, and put it back on the market,” he says. “Within two weeks, we got into a bidding war and signed a contract shortly thereafter.”
- HIRE A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER TO TAKE LISTING PHOTOS
- “First impressions are everything and need to be done right,” she says. “A professional photographer has all the tools to capture the right lighting and make everything look brighter and inviting.” The pros also have wide-angle lenses to fit the entire room in the photo.
- MAKE YOUR HOME AVAILABLE FOR SHOWINGS
- Remember: If you want to sell your home fast, you need to be flexible and open with your time and allow buyers to tour it as often as possible.
- FIND THE RIGHT PRICE
- “Nothing will overcome a poorly priced home—and a well-priced home can overcome many other issues,” says Aaron Hendon, a Realtor® with Christine & Company in Seattle. “To sell your home fast, your house needs to be priced to compete with the others currently on the market.”
Your real estate agent will help you decide on the right price for your home by looking at a variety of factors: your house’s age, any updates, square footage, and the school district. An agent will pull up comparable homes, or “comps,” that have sold in the area to evaluate the best price.
