subject: How To Sell Your House Fast [print this page] If you really and absolutely need to sell your house quick and efficiently then here are some tips from the professionals on how to sell your home fast and easy.
The first step you need to take is to call a realtor and find out what the home prices are in your area or neighborhood that are selling. If you can possibly take a 10% to 20% discount off of that price then that moves you up in the buyers mind. Why? Because in the economy of today, people are looking for bargains and you have to give what people want.
Keep the front yard in good condition, keep the grass cut, shrubs trimmed and plant flowers. See if the front door needs some new paint. The more appealing it looks from the outside than the better. People are always self conscious about how their home looks because most people care what other people think even if they deny it.
Keep furniture low, what I mean is clean up any junk that really does not need to be there. If you have a lot of furniture then take some out of the house as well as clean out your closets and make them seem bigger as well. A messy and clutter house is an unattractive house.
Turn on the lights and brighten and lighten up your home. Open the curtains and make sure they are clean, change the lampshades and increase the wattage in the bulbs. People do not like dark rooms. They love light; we all like the sun on nice breezy days, so give them that feeling.
I would suggest taking the animals to a friends house because buyers want to see themselves in this home and it is difficult with animals around. Plus animals way give off a smell that potential buyers are not familiar with or they may be allergic!
Personal photos are interesting. It is true that it is difficult for buyers to see themselves in a house if there are pictures of you and your family every where. Why? Because they have a sense of taking a home away from another family, which is a subconscious feeling.
I know this may seem like a lot of work but you must do what it takes to sell. If you are unsuccessful in selling the house, you might want to rent it out or consider it a vacation home that you can rent. There is a company that guarantees bookings. In fact there out quite a few that can help with that.
