Selling Eeal Estate For The Best Price Possible
A fast home sale is essential when it comes to getting the best price possible for your property. There is only one problem. Getting a house ready to sell and securing a top dollar sale isn’t as easy as just setting the right asking price or staging a property as effectively as possible. In some cases, after all, your property could be competing against literally hundreds of others in the same neighborhood.
Top Tips for Selling Real Estate Faster & More Effectively
If you want to secure a top dollar property sale, it’s imperative for you to start thinking not like a home seller but a new home buyer. Did you know, for example, that according to the National Association of Realtors, 35% of new home buyers in 2016 were also first time home buyers? This is important as by nature, new home buyers are often both over cautious and altogether unfamiliar with the property sale and buying process.
Thankfully, if you are selling real estate, you can expedite your next property sale, simply by making the sale process itself as easy as possible for potential buyers. One way to do this can be to arrange an independent pre-appraisal and inspection of your property. This way, you and your listing agent can help potential buyers feel like they really are getting the best deal possible.
Finding the Right Listing Agent
Selling real estate in 2017 is hard. There is more competition than ever before and because of this, you need to hire a listing agent who you can trust to aggressively market your property.
Does your listing agent have a proven track record of selling properties for the kind of price you are looking for? Can they provide you with a marketing action plan specifically tailored to suit your property? At the same time, do they have any immediate recommendations regarding how you can go about selling your property as fast as possible for the price which you are looking for?
As a rule, a good listing agent will always be able to explain in detail how exactly they plan to market your property. This being the case, never be afraid to ask questions, or ask to see evidence of your listing agents past track record.
Never Underestimate Home Staging
Getting a house ready to sell and getting the best price on your next property sale, is all about providing potential buyers with a tangible perception of value.
Even if your property is a doer-upper, potential buyers will still want to feel an emotional, move in ready connection with your property. Simple things like arranging toys in children’s rooms and adding an ambiance of family life to a property can, in this case, help pull emotional buying triggers and exemplify your homes true value.
Assessing your Competition
One of the most important things to remember when selling real estate is that a fast home sale doesn’t always go hand in hand with a top dollar property sale.
Many people selling real estate receive lots of interest immediately after listing properties, but only from buyers who want to negotiate asking prices. This being the case, always make sure to check prices of similar properties in your neighborhood prior to listing. This way, you will know when it might be worth holding out for a better offer.
Whatever you do, though, don’t hold out forever for the right buyer. Instead, if your property isn’t moving, be prepared to accept that your asking price might be a little unrealistic. Moreover, if your property has been on the market for a length of time, consider meeting with (or completely changing) your listing agent, in order to start revitalizing your property marketing and advertising exposure.
