10 Simple Steps to Selling Your Lewisville-Clemmons Home Fast
When trying to sell your Lewisville-Clemmons home, the number of days its stays on the market makes all the difference in how much you get for the property. Every day the house remains unsold is one more day before you can move on with your life. The uncertainty that follows an unsold home will take its toll on you by robbing you of the ability to make other decisions.
This does not even account for the monetary cost of having a home on the market for a long time. On the one hand, you have the carrying cost to think about. On the other hand, the longer a home has been on the market, the less attractive it is to potential buyers. Blue Door Property Management explains, the selling price of a home falls in direct relation to how long it has been on the market.
Speed is paramount when trying to sell your Lewisville-Clemmons home for the most amount.
But are there ways to expedite the sale of a home? What can you do to quickly find a buyer who is willing to pay what you want for the property? The reality is that the process of selling your home fast begins long before you list it for sale. The key lies in the steps you take to prepare the home for sale. These steps are listed below.
10 simple steps that will help you sell your home fast
1. Clean, de-clutter, and repaint
A clean and tidy home tells buyers that you love and care for the home. Give your home a deep clean. Create an illusion of space by getting rid of bulky furniture and unnecessary items. Consider repainting the home and improving lighting. If you are not quite sure of how to do all of these, hire a professional stager.
2. Touch up the exterior
Everything from the paint on the exterior surfaces of your building, to the landscaping and garage doors, plays a role in a visitors’ first impression of the house. They create your home’s curb appeal. To maximize curb appeal, you should give the home’s exterior a good wash and repaint it if necessary. Additionally, you want your landscaping to be in the best shape.
3. Improve the front door and entryway
The visitor’s eyes focus on the front door. It is unavoidable because this is their route into the home. Moreover, the front door is also the first part of the building that buyers will really see up close. You want to make sure the front door and the entryway live up to and exceed expectations.
4. Depersonalize your home
It is vital to depersonalize the home without stripping it of the things that make it feel like home. Depersonalizing the home is required because you want prospective buyers to see themselves living in the space. If the home is filled with family photos and memorabilia, it is harder for them to do this.
5. Hire a professional photographer
Most of your potential buyers will have their initial encounter with your home on the internet. When selling online, videos and photos rule. Your home will be competing with professional-level images of other homes. Make sure the photos of the home can make people stop scrolling.
6. Write a great description
There is no excuse for not having a professional listing description. Freelance professional copywriters can easily be hired to create great copy for your ads. Whatever you do, make sure the copy is evocative. Focus on touching the reader’s emotions. Do not simply list the home’s features, instead tell buyers why they should choose that home and neighborhood.
7. Price your home right
You can lose money trying to squeeze every single dollar out of this sale. Find out the sales price of comparative homes in your area over the last two months, and price your home a little below its market value. Doing this will help you attract interest from buyers and hopefully spark a bidding war. You will get further using this strategy than if you overpriced the home. You may even want to consider an appraisal by a certified appraiser to know your home's value before listing it for sale.
8. Go to market at the right time
Choosing the right time to sell your home will help you maximize interest in the property and possibly get the highest price for it. Housing markets ebb and flow and typically, the best time to list your Lewisville-Clemmons home is in spring. Demand is greater during this time because there are a lot more buyers in the market.
9. Offer incentives
This is important when selling in a buyer’s market; where supply is greater than demand and buyers have the upper hand. Adding a sales incentive can help you attract more buyers to your home. Examples of incentives to offer include a transferrable home warranty, an offer to pay buyer’s closing costs, and including appliances with the home.
10. Hire an experienced real estate agent
Finally, you need a real estate agent who is experienced and intimately familiar with your location. A good Lewisville-Clemmons real estate agent will help you decide the right price for your home and the best time to go to market. Do not think of your real estate agent as a cost but as an investment that can help you make more money, as well as save time.
