How To Sell Your House Fast
Posted on: 12 May 2017
If you have recently put your house up for sale then you want to take steps to make your home as desirable as possible. The more you do to get your home properly ready for a family to fall in love with it, the more you can increase your odds of having someone put an offer on it fast. Here are some fantastic tips for selling your home as fast as possible:
Keep your house clean and ready to show at all times
When you have your house on the market your real estate agent can end up calling you at just about any time wanting to show the house. You won't always be given advance notice. Therefore, you want to keep your house in the best possible shape at all times so you can show it at the drop of a hat.
Have a place to send your pets to
If you can, you should make arrangements with someone close by to take your pets in each time you show the house. This way, you won't have to worry about having a buyer being scared of your pets and feeling uncomfortable. You also won't have to worry about chasing them out of your house because their allergies get triggered. Plus, you won't have pets making noises or jumping on the counters when you are trying to sell the house. By having someone close offer to watch them, you can run them over quickly the moment you learn a potential buyer is on the way over.
Pop something that smells good in the oven
The minute your realtor lets you know they are on the way with a potential buyer you want to put something in the oven that cooks quickly and smells great. This way, you can put a nice homey smell throughout the house but the oven will be ready to turn off before they show up so you don't risk forgetting something is in there and burning it. A good idea is to throw a couple cookies off a refrigerated cookie tube and turn it off before they show up. The smell will actually make it easier for a buyer to see your house as a home they can raise their family in.
Let the agent show the house
When a perspective buyer shows up its best if you let them do the talking and you stand back and stay out of the way. The agent knows the client and what they want. This means they know what to say about your house to peak the buyer's interest even more. Plus, having the current owner try to sell them on the house can make them feel uncomfortable and not fully trust hat is being said.
