Top 7 Tips To Sell Your Home FASTER

People decide to sell their homes for any number of reasons, but there is one thing that all sellers have in common - they all want to sell their homes as quickly as they possibly can. Selling your home quickly requires dedicated effort and a successful strategy, but it can definitely be done. With 25+ years of experience in real estate at the Lake of the Ozarks, I have put together a list of the top seven tricks to sell your home quickly.


1. Hire A Professional To Photograph Your Home
In real estate, pictures are truly worth thousands of words. If you want to sell your home quickly, it is absolutely critical that your listing be accompanied by high-quality, professional photographs - and lots of them. At the very least, you should have pictures of all major areas (bedrooms, kitchen, and bathrooms) and any unique selling features your home may have (such as a spectacular view or a large outdoor patio).

2. Ask For The Right Price
Pricing your home correctly can be a challenge, but it is very important. If you price it too high, you will eliminate potential buyers who are working with a specific price range. If you price it too low, you may scare off potential buyers who assume that something is wrong with your home. I can provide you with a free market analysis to help you price your home right - the first time. Check out my website to learn more: http://realestatelakeozark.com/selling-your-home.html

3. Devise An Exit Strategy
When potential buyers come to visit your home, it is imperative that you give them the space they need to envision the home as their own. This means that you, your family, and your pets must not be present. Being able to vacate the premises on short notice will make it easier for real estate agents at the Lake of the Ozarks to show your home to potential buyers - and, consequently, to sell your home faster. 

4. Give Every Room A Purpose
Do you have an extra room downstairs that you've been using as storage? It's time to clean it out and give it a specific purpose. Part of successfully staging your home is showing potential buyers how they could use the space in the home to its fullest potential. For example, set up your extra rooms as offices, reading nooks, crafting rooms, or workout rooms. The goal is to show potential buyers the limitless possibilities of the home.

5. Kick Up Your Curb Appeal
With springtime finally upon us, it is a great time to work on boosting your home's curb appeal. Plant some flowers, give your front door that fresh coat of paint you've been putting off, and power wash your driveway and your siding. Not only will this ensure your home makes a great first impression with the people who come to tour your home - it may also help you attract more interested buyers who just happen to drive past your home!

6. Advertise, Advertise, Advertise
Potential buyers won't come tour your home if they don't know it is for sale! It is important to market your home both locally and on all major real estate websites. Posting about your home being for sale and any upcoming open house events on your personal Facebook page or other social media accounts and buying ads in the newspaper can be great ways to get the word out. If you sell your home with Susan Spica, your home will also be listed on our website and our social media channels. We can help you ensure that your home is marketed aggressively and effectively.

7. Time Your Listing Effectively
The time of year (and even the day of the week) you choose to list your home can actually have a significant impact on how quickly it sells. Spring is historically the best season to list your home, because this is when most home buyers begin actively searching for homes. Homes typically receive the most visibility during their first few months on the market, so it's important to time your listing correctly.
