How To Sell Your Home Faster For The Best Price

Property advice

If you want to sell your home faster, usually it means making a concession on the final sale price – but what if you could get a quick turnaround AND a profit?

Selling property is somewhat of a fine art. Price your home too low, and it could be snapped up within days while you miss out on potential earnings. Price it too high however, and you risk being “stuck” with it for months – or even years. If a property has been sitting on the market for too long, buyers start to question “what’s wrong with it” – so how do you walk the fine line between how to sell your home faster for the best possible price?

Six Tips On How To Sell Your Home Faster At Top Dollar

Declutter – When you start receiving inspections, potential buyers need to be able to envision the space as their own – and having a house full of someone else’s junk certainly doesn’t help this process. Depersonalise the space without compromising on style.

Style It Correctly – Professional home styling or “staging” is designed to aesthetically present your property in the best possible light to potential buyers. You don’t need to drop thousands on new furniture – it can be as simple as painting your walls or hanging some rented art work.

Add Value – How you use the rooms of your home may not align with the ideas of a potential buyer. If you have four bedrooms, consider “staging” one as an office or study. As we are spending more time at home than ever, make sure rooms are multi functional if you can.

Don’t Ignore Landscaping – If first impressions are everything, then this starts with your front door and garden. Garden waste, an untamed lawn, children’s toys or equipment laying around certainly aren’t appealing, so consciously craft a space that is enticing, relaxing and appealing.

Professional Photography – If your landscaping is the first impression for physical buyers, then you’ll first have to spark their interest virtually. Most property hunters spend hours combing the internet for new listings, which is where professional photography can capture their attention.

Enlist A Professional – Settling on the perceived value of your home takes extensive research, and is crucial when it comes to selling it in a timely manner. If you don’t have the time, energy or experience to do the leg work, then it’s worth engaging a property advisor to help you sell.

Can A Property Adviser Help You Sell Your Home Faster?

In a nutshell – yes, providing you opt for a reputable one. A licensed property advisor is ultimately there to ensure you sell your home faster, with maximum profits and minimal stress – but how do they manage to pull it all off? If you’re considering engaging the services of a property advisor, you can expect them to do the following. 

  • Conduct extensive research on how much you should list your home for sale by analysing market trends, growth rates and similar properties within the local area or catchment.
  • Conduct extensive research, interview and provide recommendations on what real estate agency you should list your home with based on their sales history, local area knowledge, average days to sell and overall reputation.
  • Eliminate or significantly reduce the expenses associated with selling a home by negotiating directly with the real estate agency regarding marketing fees, commissions and legal fees (if applicable).
  • Providing unsolicited advice and guidance right through to the settlement process, assisting with administration related tasks, and ultimately ensuring that the sale of your home is a streamlined and stress free experience.
