10 Secrets from the Pros to Sell Your Property Fast

Abstract

Want to move your property quickly? Real estate is notoriously illiquid - it's expensive and slow to buy or sell. "Homes sell quicker and for more money when they show exceptionally well online. More buyers will schedule showings which leads to more chances for an offer." And you may not have to foot the bill, either. Provide as Many Details as Possible With more buyers and investors buying sight-unseen, more detail in the listings help them feel comfortable making an offer. Don't Fear the Off-Season Luke Lee, CEO of Palaleather, explains "Selling your property during the spring or summer months may seem like the logical thing to do, but you may actually have better luck selling during the fall or winter. The housing market is typically slower during these months, which means there may be less competition from other sellers."Additionally, buyers during the off-season may be more serious about making a purchase, as they are often looking to move before the start of the school year or before the holidays. Don't Overprice the Listing "If you price your property too high, you can scare away potential buyers who think they can find a better deal elsewhere," explains Luke Lee. "While buyers typically shoulder most of these costs - from appraisal fees to taxes to a home warranty - a seller could agree to cover some of the numerous fees in exchange for a quicker home sale." The lines have grown a little blurry about who pays which closing costs in recent years, with buyers often asking for a seller concession. Speak to Local Buyers' Concerns & Interests "Work closely with your real estate agent and research your market to reveal what is attracting buyers to your area and then craft promotional materials that will best meet their lifestyle needs and wants," continues Karen Condor.
