How to sell you house fast?

 

To sell your house could seem like a daunting task. There are a few things that can greatly influence a speedy sale: setting the right price and making an excellent first impression.  You have to set up the right marketing strategy to attract buyers, here are 6 tips that will put you in front your competitors:

Tip #1: Price it right from the start

 

One of the most common mistakes when trying to sell your house fast is to set the price too high. The reality is that this can result in a slower sale. The first 30 days are critical since buyers know what the prices are in your neighborhood.  If the price is  too high buyers and real estate agents will stay away and won’t settle for an overpriced property.

 

Tip #2: Make your home look more attractive

 

This could mean adding new sod, planting flowers, painting the front door or replacing the mailbox. Prospective buyers form an opinion the moment they spot a home. “Attractiveness is everything, getting close to  the driveway and walking into that front door sets the expectations. People need to take care of this aspects to sell a house, especially in South Florida where the weather deteriorates the exterior of households quickly’’, Richard Paz from Paz Global Real Estate added.

 

Tip #3: Clean, decluttered and depersonalized

To sell your house fast the fewer things there are laying around the house the larger it will look, so remove knickknacks and excess  items. Avoid clutter at all costs. Store as many items as you can to avoid looking disorganized and messy. Also take down family photos, religious items and political posters so prospective buyers can envision their family in the house, not yours.

Most homebuyers start their search online and decide which homes they want to see based on the photos. You probably need something better than snapshots taken quickly with your agent’s iphone. In the competitive Miami market you need to be on top of the game and a professional photographer is a must. At Paz Global Real Estate we had incorporated new technologies such 3D imaging of your property and drone captions.
