Marketing Your Property For Sale

Setting Yourself Up For A Quick Sale

Posted by landsites 05/01/2017

Many factors go into selling your home expediently. Selling at the right time, price, features, marketing and so much more. Land Sites for Sale strives to provide our customers the tips they need to help them sell swiftly even in the off season! Below are some points every seller needs to be aware of when selling in any market.

1. Price It Right From The Start.  Sellers often think they should start off high and then lower the price later if the desired traffic isn't achieved. This is not a good strategy since the highest amount of traffic you will receive when selling is within the first month of listing your home. Land Sites for Sale has seen time and time again where buyers are turned off by a property priced too high. Use local websites and request a market analysis and be sure you're not overpriced. Remember sitting on a property for sale for months at a time is only costing you more money!

2. Curb Appeal.  Opinions are formed on your property the moment someone sees your home. Be sure you make a great first impression. Lay new mulch, plant flowers, pressure wash the home, sweep sidewalks and the list can go on. Set the expectation the moment a potential buyer pulls into the driveway.

3. Update Your Home. One of the most inexpensive ways to update your home, inside or out, is a fresh coat of paint. Take the time to repair outdated fixtures and update any out of date features. This may require a little elbow grease but will be well worth the effort when selling your home. 

4. Clean, Declutter and Depersonalize.  Less is more!! Take the time to remove all the extra knickknacks and personal family items throughout your home. If there are any extra 'odd' pieces of furniture, place in storage or sell. The more a potential buyer can see themselves moving right in the better! Finally, treat yourself to a cleaning service for an ultimate clean home! Land Sites for Sale can refer you to helpful professionals for various services throughout your home. 

5. Stage the House.  Not sure what to do with that extra room? Be creative! Make sure every room in the house has a specific role. Create an extra office or use all of your outdoor space. There are many helpful websites like pinterests that can help.
 
6. Make the Property Easy To Sell.  The more flexible you are at showing your home for sale the more potential buyers will see your home. In turn, this means more potential offers. Be ready for a showing at any given moment. Also, when you have a showing with a realtor, leave. A realtor is a trained professional that follows strict guidelines. This is what they do for a living. If the showing is directly with a buyer then be sure you have all contact information. Remember, treat this as a business decision. This is no longer your home but rather a home you are selling. Whether you're selling land for sale or a home for sale be sure you handle it as a business transaction and detach your emotions from the process. 
 
7. Remove Your Pets!  We all LOVE our pets but a prospective buyer shouldn't even know a pet lives in the home! Make sure you remove all pet accessories or at least hide them well.  This may seem excessive but potential buyers don't want to imagine what pets have been doing in the home. Be sure your home for sale seems pet free and smells pet free! 
 
8. Insure Your Listing Has Good Photos. This is a must! If you want showings, your home for sale must have good photos! Take the time to get out the good camera or hire a professional. If you take the photos be sure no one is in your photos! Good photos will attract a buyer, bad photos will turn a buyer away.
