Speeding Up the Sale: How to Sell Your Home Fast
There are a number of reasons you could be keen to make your real estate sale run extra smoothly. Perhaps you're selling up before you head off on an epic world adventure, or are looking to upscale in order to make room for an impending family member's arrival.
Maybe it's not as interesting as that, and you've found yourself in a situation where you need extra money at your disposal. In any case, you want to offload your house, fast.
The property market can be so unpredictable and it can feel like your home will never sell. If you're in a rush, this can be stressful and overwhelming. Luckily for you though, we have some handy hints on how to sell your home fast.
First impressions are everything
You only get one shot at a first impression, and in this case, the potential buyers take the first look at your home from the street. Repainting the exterior of the house can be a great idea to increase your kerb appeal, as well as ensuring the yard and garden areas are immaculate by weeding, mowing, and introducing some colourful plants.
Spruce up your home with a fresh coat of paint
This may seem like a no-brainer, but in case you haven't considered it, giving a home the freshly painted feel can breathe new life into it and give off a clean and new vibe. While you're at it, be sure to fill in any holes with putty, and eliminate any imperfections.
Make the house feel like a blank canvas
What buyers really want when they walk into a property on their house-hunting journey, is to be able to instantly visualise their own life there. When looking to sell your home, it can be helpful to hide any grand signs of your personality - bold artwork, photo walls of your family, etc.
This allows the potential buyers to have space to mentally picture their life here with their own bold artwork, and their own family photos. It can help them build an initial emotional connection to the property.
Fresh and open is the vibe
Adding to the blank canvas feel is a complete tidy of every part of the property. You want to avoid stray items like clothing or toys around the place.
In addition, to give your home the best chance of buyer interest, make sure it looks and feels super clean with open windows and doors where possible.
Make it smell just like home
The addition of fresh flowers not only brightens up a room, but they can make the home smell great. Scent is a very powerful sense and can be connected to our emotions, so making it smell like their idea of home can work wonders in selling your home.
The aroma left behind by a recently brewed pot of coffee or the smell of freshly baked bread or cookies may be something to consider.
Hire a professional real estate agent
