Three Ways to Sell Your Home Fast in a Troubled Economy

Posted on Sep 29, 2011 in Uncategorized by Carol Daniels 0 Comments

It wasn’t long ago (although it feels like a century!) that a homeowner placed a  For Sale sign on the front lawn and within a couple days had at least one offer on the house.  Today, we are experiencing a challenging market for home sellers.  Some think it is impossible to sell your home in this economy.  Well, I am here to tell you that is a lie!  You can sell your home in this real estate market; you just need to equip yourself to compete in the market. 

 Here are some steps that can put your property in the spotlight and help get it sold even in this challenging real estate climate.

Work with an Experienced Agent: A surprising number of people try to sell a home on their own. Most turn to a professional agent after a few months, but the damage is already done. When time matters, go with a pro right from the start. Remember, the agent is acting like a publicity manager for the property.

Tackle Those Tough Jobs: Clear out the clutter and yard debris and then ask your agent for an honest appraisal of the property. Be sure to complete the “honey do” list to avoid competing against foreclosures and other homes with deferred maintenance. Not only will the home show better, but photographs, virtual tours and open house events will generate more interest when the home looks its best.

Invest in an Inspection: For approximately $400, an inspection might be one of the best investments you can make. It helps validate the condition of the home to prospective buyers and helps ease their minds. If you have access to a recent survey and appraisal, be sure to include those in the information package given to prospective buyers.  The Daniels Team like to call this our “Smooth Move” Campaign.  By having the inspections, appraisal and even a home warranty for buyers will eliminate the objections BEFORE they have a chance to surface! 

Just put yourself in the shoes of a potential buyer, if you were looking at homes would these added steps help you in the decision process?  For more information or if you have any questions about selling your Delaware home, just dial the Daniels Team @ Re/Max Associates.
