How to Sell Your Home Fast

By Joel Perez

If you're in the market to sell your home, chances are you're probably going to be pretty happy. Why? Because inventory levels are at an all time low, which means you will probably get quite a few offers. Even though there's not that much inventory out there, I strongly encourage you to make your house look as attractive as you possibly can in order to get the strongest possible offers. Here are a few simple things you can do that are relatively inexpensive in order to get the best price out of your home and sell it fast!

1. Reduce or Eliminate Clutter: Get rid of any clutter that's in the house. This really helps make the house look more attractive and the rooms often appear larger. A cluttered home makes it more difficult for the buyer to visualize how their furniture and personal items will look in the space. It also helps to remove all the family pictures, because you want buyers to focus more on the house and not your personal items.

2. Keep the Front Yard Clean: Curb appeal is still extremely important in today's market. I've had several experiences where my buyers refused to get out and see a house with poor curb appeal. If you manicure your yard a little bit, it should give potential buyers the all important positive first impression.

3. Paint Your Home in Neutral Colors: The cost to paint your interior or exterior is relatively inexpensive and can really help make your home stand out. Neutral and warmer colors give the buyer a blank canvas to work with and they have a much broader appeal.

If you’re looking for a real estate professional, it really behooves you to find somebody that has adapted to these changes in the market. Whether you're buying or selling, choose a realtor that has a lot of strong connections with other realtors in the market. If you're buying, they may be able to help you find a great home before it hits the open market. If you’re selling, a well connected agent can line up lots of potential clients who would love to be in your home.
