8 home selling tips from MSN Money.
- Hire a top-notch sales agent.
- Price it right. The No. 1 thing that will sell a house quickly is price.
- Create an adjustable sales plan.
- Clear out the clutter.
- Offer incentives. Incentives can help shorten the sales cycle, but be careful. Agents are divided on how much they help.”I think it can be a fine line between wanting to sell a house quickly and having it look like it’s a fire sale,” Greenwood says. Roulac, however, believes that adding premiums can help speed a house sale. A popular incentive offered purchasers is closing-cost help. You also can encourage your sales agent: Offer a higher commission for a speedy sale or give your broker show tickets, a meal at a fine restaurant or some other perk if the property moves quickly.
- Don’t get distracted.
- Ask for company help. If you’re relocating because of a job change or company transfer, you may be eligible for home-sale help from your employer or a relocation company representing your employer.
- Rent it.
Our take on these home selling tips
If you’re looking to sell your house fast, it’s not good advice to rent out your house. Renters will distract buyers and impact the cleanliness and clutter in your house.
If you have the time and cash to list your house with a real estate agent and offer incentives, that is a good path to take. Choosing to list your house with an agent is a long term contract and provides not guarantees that you will sell your house.
To guarantee that you get an offer, contact a real estate buyer or a we buy houses company in your local market. You will get a cash offer, typically within 48 hours and many times you can have your house sold in 10 days or less.
