Are You Saying “How To Sell My House Fast? November 2, 2017Expert BlogsOff

There are many homeowners out there who might be thinking “how can I sell my house fast?” But most people tend to go about it the wrong way and as a result get stuck in a rut. However, if you plan the process carefully, you can offload your house fast and without the need to discount your price. Here are some tips that can help you.

Choose the best time. The weather and the financial market dictate how the real estate market is going to behave. For example, the summer is typically not a good time to sell a house since school holidays can stall purchases for family buyers. Similarly, an economy in recession will not respond well if you’re thinking you’d want to “sell my house fast”. Traditionally, spring time is perfect to put the house on the market. Autumn is also considered a good time to sell off real estate.

Get an appropriate valuation. One of the main key points of discussion in a house sale is the valuation.  Instead of depending on the valuation from one source, it is better to get your house evaluated by different local estate agents. Ideally, estate agents do not tend to charge for this. Additionally, this will give you a fair understanding of the market value of your property. While over-valuing your property will drive away prospective buyers, undervaluing your property might cause buyers to suspect that the provenance of the property.

Staging your house wisely. The staging is one of the critical stages of selling a house. It gives prospective buyers the opportunity to visualize living in the house and create a relationship with the property. As a result, it is recommended that the house should be painted, cleaned and de-cluttered before staging. Take note to mow the lawn, put on a new rug and clean the kitchen and bathroom, since these are some of the most ignored sections during a house staging.

Selecting the best partner to sell your house. It’s easy to think “I want to sell my house” and equally complex to actually get it done. That’s why real-estate agents, online classifieds, and property buying companies can be a life-saver.

  • Online classifieds

Online classified websites provide exposure to thousands (if not millions) of users. It’s free and saves you from paying a commission.

  • Property buying

Even though classified services are free, there is no guarantee that you will definitely get a sale. It’s kind of an advertisement to get the word around. If you’re looking to sell the house as soon as possible, then property buying companies might be better suited. They pay in cash and take care of all the legal paperwork.

  • Real-estate agents

However, if you’re looking to charge a premium and do not mind waiting for a few more months, then a real-estate agent might be more helpful. Local agents tend to understand the market well. They make their money as a commission of the sale proceeds, which means they will be more interested in selling the house at a higher value.

Now, next time you have that “sell my house fast” thought again, you know what to do.
