What things can I do to help my house sell fast once it is on the market?
Now that we have covered the ins and out of the best time to sell your house, next we wanted to touch on certain things you can do around your home to help it sell quickly, and for top dollar. We know what you want—cash for your home in Myrtle Beach. Because let’s be honest, at the end of the day you want the home selling process to be quick, as stress-free as possible and walk away with the most amount of money. And here are a few tips and tricks to help you achieve this!
First, and one of the most important steps of the home selling process, is to find an agent that will work hard for you and your family. You want an agent who not only knows the area well but also has a track record of success. It is no secret that the first thirty days of your house being on the market is a very important time, and you do not want to waste your time or the beginning momentum with someone who is still learning the ropes. The right agent and team will know exactly what advice to give you on any improvements the home needs, make sure the marketing material accurately reflects your home and will work with you to set a listing price. We cannot stress enough the importance of having the right realtor by your side!
Second, you want to make sure the home is decluttered and all personal items, such as pictures, are removed from around the house. When a potential buyer walks through and sees the home, you want to have a clean and tidy canvas for them to picture settling into. If you have a variety of pictures and clutter everywhere, it will limit the appeal to the buyer and make it more difficult for them to imagine their own life in the space – they just see the home you live in. Third, if you are not looking to make any major renovations, it is always a good idea to update fixtures in the kitchen and bathrooms that may be a little old, professionally clean the carpets/floors and paint any rooms that are looking dull. These are great ways to spruce up the home and give it a slight facelift without breaking your wallet.
Lastly, it is always a great idea to give the home some curb appeal if it is lacking. Updating a ho-hum yard can be the fastest and most cost-effective method of increasing the sale value of your house. The front of the home is the first area a potential buyer will see, and you want to be sure to make a good first impression. Doing things such as painting or replacing the front door, adding some fresh flowers to the front yard, updating the landscaping and adding a new mailbox are all things that can drastically change the appeal of the front of the home without spending an arm and a leg. First impressions cannot be overstated, and people make their first impressions when they’re getting out of their car and walking up to the front door. Many people will have passed judgment on a house based on that front yard alone, for better or for worse.
