How To Sell Your Home Fast!

If you are thinking about selling your home, you have probably wondered’ “How long will it take to sell my home”? I am going to discuss three ways to help your home sell fast.

First, I want to announce the final section of the Resources page is complete. After reading this article check out the Seller section of the Resources page.

Ok, lets get into it.

1. Choose the Right Realtor

This is the most important step to selling your home. Let’s be honest, most Realtors are lazy! Not ALL Realtors are lazy but there are way too many that are not willing to put in the extra effort to get deals closed. You want to make sure you ask your potential Realtor a few questions before you enter a Listing Agreement with them. I have compiled a list of questions to ask a potential Listing agent, check it out by clicking this link, Realtor Interview Questionnaire.

It is very important that you can have a good working relationship with your Realtor. You will be talking to them quite a bit during your listing period. You will also be trusting your Realtor to guide you in the right direction and put your best interests first.

You will want to make sure your Realtor has a Marketing Plan for your home. I will get into marketing in detail later in this article.

2. Choose the Right Price

The list price of your home will make the difference between selling your home and having it on the market for months and months without a sale. If you price your home too high, then you will not get very many showings and your home will be on the market much longer. The longer your home is on the market the lower a buyer’s offer will be because they will know your over priced and they will think that you are getting desperate to sell your home. If you want to sell your home fast you must price your home correctly.

Your Realtor will be able to guide you in this area. You should have your Realtor provide you with data from all the SOLD and ACTIVE properties in your area, usually within a half mile. This will help you understand the current market conditions and find fair market value for your home.

Knowing fair market value is the most important part of setting your list price. You need to know market value not only to keep you from over pricing your home, but you also don’t want to underprice it and leave money on the table. To sell your home fast your going to need to set your list price close to market value.

3. Choose the Right Marketing Plan

Marketing will make a huge impact on the quantity of preapproved buyers that will be interested in your home. Every home is different and will need a marketing plan that matched the type of buyer that would be interested in the home. For example, a fifty-acre farm house will need a marketing plan different from a condo.  The properties are different and the buyer that would purchase these homes will be different.

There are so many ways to market a home for sale. You will need to ask your Realtor how they market your home and if there are additional costs involved. If you follow the Realtor Interview Questionnaire that I have in the Sellers section of the Resources page all these topics would be addressed.

My company Nova Star Real Estate goes to great lengths to market every home we list. We have great marketing programs that include our company website, email campaigns, direct mass mailings, and online marketing which includes Google, Facebook, Youtube and Pinterest.

Nova Star Real Estate owns the marketing company Nova Star News. Nova Star News mailed out over 50,000 pieces of marketing material to help promote the homes we listed. All these marketing programs that we offer are free to our clients. Make sure you know what you’re getting and what you’re paying for.

A good marketing plan will make the difference between getting one offer on your home and getting multiple offers. Who doesn’t want multiple offers on their home? Marketing is the key to being able to sell your home fast and for more money. I have written an article on “How to Sell Your Home For More”. Check it out to see other ways that will improve your chances to sell your home fast and for more money.
