 If you’re ready to sell your home, you may have reason to want to sell it fast. Whether you're relocating for a new job that starts soon or have a pending offer on a new place, it's important to drum up interest in your house especially if you're looking to close quickly. The more potential buyers you can attract, the better your chances of selling fast - and at a good price. Whatever your reasons for selling, here are six ways to sell a house quickly even in a slow market.

When looking to sell a home quickly, begin by hiring a real estate agent to manage much of the process on your behalf. You or your agent can price the home competitively and can adjust the terms and conditions if there is lukewarm initial interest. Prior to showings, clean the whole house, remove clutter, and hide personal items so buyers can picture themselves in the space. Boost the curb appeal to make the right first impression. Clear away the cobwebs, paint the front door, and plant flowers. Or please go here https://www.myershousebuyers.com/ get best home buyer.

Afraid you can’t get your house ready in time for the busiest home buying season?  Don’t think you need to do a complete kitchen or bathroom remodel before putting your home on the market. Buyers want to take advantage of the low interest rates and spring market now before they go back up. But there are a few things that you can do to get your home ready to sell.

Time of year you list your home: While most homes sell fastest in the spring, the best time of year to sell your home depends on your location. For example, the best time to sell your Rochester, Minnesota home is in April and May when med students are looking for housing. However, the best time to sell your Phoenix home is in the fall when temperatures have started to drop and snowbirds have begun migrating south. If you’re wondering which months are the best to sell your home fast, we have a handy little calculator for that.

Find the Right Real Estate Agent:  If you want to sell your home fast, the first step is to hire a real estate agent. The ideal person will know the local market and have a sales record that proves they know how to sell. Keep in mind the seller is often responsible for paying the commission for both the buyer and seller agent. In exchange for the convenience of an agent, you're likely on the hook for a selling commission between 2%-4% of your selling price. Keep in mind that a real estate agent will help with the entire process. They'll oversee the professional photographer who will take top-notch photos of your home as well as negotiate the best price. They also will write up a real estate listing that sells, schedule and host showings, and market your property to get it seen.

Condition of your home: Move-in ready turn-key homes tend to sell faster than fixer-uppers, or as Hernandez calls them, fixers. However, an older house that needs some repair work isn’t as much of a deterrent to buyers during an inventory shortage. Keep in mind though, that a home that needs major repairs may slow or derail a sale to traditional buyers who are financing with a mortgage. Most buyers get an inspection, which may initiate repairs or re-negotiations. Lenders also require an appraisal. If an older, decrepit home is valued below the purchase price, the closing date may get pushed back while the seller and buyer try to save the deal.

Days on market: It’s true. The longer your home sits on the market directly contributes to the likelihood that your home will continue to sit on the market. Buyers are wary to look at or consider a home that has been listed for a longer than average time. For this reason, most real estate agents’ listing agreements are 90 days or less. If a home doesn’t sell at this time, one plan of attack is usually for the seller to cancel the listing and relist with another agent. But, relisting can also increase the amount of time it takes to sell. In some states, the seller must wait 60 days to relist if the plan is to “reset” the days on market. Also, keep in mind that a canceled listing is available to a savvy buyer who looks up the listing address.

Clean, Declutter, and Depersonalize: Buyers need to be able to picture themselves in the space, but they won’t be able to if your house is a mess. Give your home a thorough cleaning from top to bottom, get rid of clutter, and hide the family photos and other personal items. It's fairly standard industry practice to hire external cleaners especially prior to a major showing. Rearrange the furniture so your home looks inviting and so buyers can move through your home without bumping into anything. If necessary, put bulky items in storage. A crowded room looks like a small room.
