The peak of the selling season may be over, however there are several things a homeowner can do to help their home sell quickly.
1. Make your home available for showings. Too many times do I try to show someone's home and they don't do evening showings or weekends. If a realtor can get into your home it's not going to sell. Allow showings anytime between 9am-7pm.
2. Declutter and Curb Appeal- Box up personal items and make the rooms spacious! Clean off counter tops, refrigerator doors, and box up lots of clothes in your closet. First impressions are huge! Try to look at your home thru a buyer's eyes. Does it need paint, de weeding, or fixing broken window?
3. Price it right- The first 30 days your home is listed is critical. This is when you will have the most interest. Have your realtor do a market analysis so you know what comparable homes are selling for.
4. Remove your pets- A barking dog, or seeing cats all over can turn away buyers. Take them with you when there is a showing, and crack a window for fresh air. Don't do plug in sprays it might also be an annoying smell to some.
5. Have good photos- and lots of them. Make sure you have interior and exterior photos. Also photos of the view. With your listing, make sure one photo is of house plan and survey.
These are just a few tips. Please call me to discuss how to sell your home fast and at a great price.
