The quickest way to sell a
house is to list it below similar homes for sale in your
area. It is that simple. Buyers are looking for a steal.
Generally, this translates into buying the cheapest house on
the block with the intention of upgrading it and reaping
equity gains. Some get around to the upgrades, some do not.
Regardless of the condition of your home, the key to moving
it is price.
See, there are quick ways of
selling a house. Most of the steps are based on common
sense. As to setting a price, you want to be below the homes
in your area. How far below depends on how quickly you want
to move the property.
Do you hate to bargain? Most
people do, but refusing to negotiate can leave you owning
your house months after you put up a "for sale" sign. The
best intentioned buyer will offer you less than your asking
price, so no matter how low the offer make a counter-offer.
You have nothing to lose!
MOST
IMPORTANT THING
What are other houses going for?
Real estate professionals use what are called "comps" (or
comperables) to properly price a home. This is a list of
prices for houses in a like neighborhood (comparable to
yours) which have sold recently or have bids on them
currently.
When using comps be careful to add or subtract the differences
in the comp to or from the value of your house when
calculating a comperable value. Also, be careful that you
don't compare houses which are for sale currently. The
expectations of those sellers might be inflated.
do you know
your market:
What is the real estate situation in your area? Are homes
selling fast, or are they languishing for months, sometimes
years before being sold. The market can determine what price
you need to set to sell your home. If houses are selling in
less than 60 days on average, it would indicate a seller's
market. If they take 120 days or more to sell, it's probably
a buyer's market. ( you should be known what the actual
market price rate presently )
YOU CAN
MAKE A PROFFESIONAL HELP
A way to tap into the real estate community is to welcome
buyer's agents, and offer a commission of 2% to 3.5% to
those who bring you a buyer who successfully closes a sale.
This commission money may be the best money you ever spend.
Market your
property
Get a professionally made sign for the front yard. Homemade
signs look well homemade. Make sure that your phone number
is prominently displayed on the sign and visible from up the
street.
Have flyers made up with color pictures of the house, and take
out a small ad in the local newspaper. The word FSBO
conjures up thoughts of a real bargain.
you can make assessment your market rate.
Timing
Location is not the only key
to successful real estate dealings. Obviously some home
sales are forced forward due to circumstances that need
immediate action for example a change of job or a divorce.
But if you can choose when you go on the market then you are
going to want to start the selling process when the demand
for homes in your area is high. That will assure you a
better price on your home. You also want to strike when
economy is booming because people will pay more for the home
than in a bad economy.
Home
inspections
All standard real estate
contracts are going to give the home buyer the right to
inspect your property so you are going to need to be ready
for this. Have your home inspected before you advertise.
Under a general inspection you are obligated to make major
repairs to appliances, plumbing, septic, electrical and
heating systems etc. You can expect your home's roof and
foundations etc. to be inspected too. Any recommendations
that are made do them all!

2. The second and most obvious
party you are employing is a broker and an organization to
market your home.
A multi-faceted marketing program is necessary to ensure that
your home will sell as quickly as possible. Simply planting
a sign in your front yard and running an ad in the paper
does not expose your property to a significant portion of
the marketplace. Quality brokers have the tools to market
your property to many more qualified buyers, as well as to
the entire brokerage community. Most importantly, a broker
will list your property in the local Multiple Listing
Service, exposing your property to over 400 brokers and
1,000's of potential buyers.
We will make sure that every
serious buyer in the market knows your property is available
no matter if that buyer is:
Looking on their own
Using a Broker
Looking in newspapers
Driving through Your neighborhood
