1) Clean it up!
Clean up the house and make it look appealing to potential buyers. Ask yourself a simple question when looking through the house for things to update: “Would I buy a house that looks like this?” Many people paint their walls and update their kitchens. For some of the most common (and most successful) methods of making your house presentable, check out ‘tips to improve your house resale value’.
2) Put your home on the market.
You need to be sure that it’s listed at a reasonable price for its qualities and location. Check out local listings online to get a realistic range for what you can retrieve for your home. zillow.com offers useful resources when going through this process (Ex. like showing the values of ALL the homes around you!) that will help you price your home effectively.
3) Look at ALL the options.
Consider the options available to you regarding hiring a professional realtor. (Recommendation: HIRE A PROFESSIONAL.) Shop around and look for the service that best fits your needs. You can look for realtors in your area or try visiting SellMyHouseFast.org, a network which connects home sellers with local real estate professionals who make cash offers to buy real estate and may present other alternatives as well. Choose the option that best fits your needs.
4) Stage your home.
Have an open house when prospective buyers can come in and look around. There are many simple do’s and don’ts to follow while presenting your home to potential sellers (such as making sure there are no dirty dishes out, the laundry is put away, etc.), which you can read about at realtor.com. This process is incredibly important to selling your house fast, since the people who see your home and are impressed are the most likely to buy it.
5) Close the deal.
Buyers will make an offer for your home, and it’s up to you to accept, decline, or make a rebuttal offer. This is risky business, because you may not get other offers for your home! If you want to sell your house quickly, don’t be stubborn and be open with the buyer. Because this is incredibly important, it is HIGHLY suggested that you use at least one resource available to help you make the most money possible. For starters, check out top7business, which offers great beginner’s advice for negotiating the sales price of a home.
