8 Quick Home Seller Tips Do's and Don'ts

How Not to sell your home fast:Show more

#1 - For Sale By Owner or otherwise known as a FSBO. Last year homes that were sold with help from a professional Realtor such as myself sold for $24,000 more than a for sale by owner property.

#2 - Setting your price to High. Price your home to sell or it will linger on the market. The longer on the market the less attractive the home will be.

#3 - I Buyers. This stands for Instant buyers. These are real estate companies like Zillow, Open Door and Redfin. These companies buy at discount prices and sell for a profit.

Now, How To Sell Your home For A Good Price

#1 - The quickest way to sell your home and still make a sweet profit is to hire an experienced Realtor. The operative word here is Experienced. Gimmicky ways to sell your house (like FSBO and I Buyers) can get the job done fast—but they come at a price. Literally.

#2 - Declutter and Deep Clean. Pack up all those unnecessary items and store Em away. Break out the cleaning supplies and give your home a deep clean. These 2 tasks will make a big difference in how the property shows.

#3 - Get ahead of the game. Make repairs and fix or replace all of the items that do not function or function properly.

#4 - Stage your Home - Home staging is a art designed to show off your home in its best light. Using your furniture in a new way, swapping old or past-their-prime pieces, or sprucing up the outdoor space will help buyers focus on your home’s features rather than its flaws.

#5 - And last but not least, Price your home to sell. This is one of the biggest mistakes sellers make. I've said it before, and I'l say it a thousand more times: Price your home to sell. Setting a realistic and competitive asking price is one of the best ways to sell your home fast.
