Tricks To Get Your Home Sold Fast

By Pammy McGrath


If you are ready to sell your home, you might be wondering how to get started with this process. There are many ways to make the selling process faster and end up with the highest possible sale price. Consider the following tips to make selling your home as easy as possible.

Your first step should be to a find a realtor that has a good amount of experience in your area. It is important that the real estate agent has a good understanding of the neighborhood and what types of homes are comparable in price. Your agent also should have many different ideas about how to market your home, which might include open houses, using social media and websites such as Zillow and Redfin, as well as the local MLS listings.

If you are searching for agent who understands the Texas Hill Country real estate market, consider contacting the team at Nixon Real Estate. They have more than 30 years experience in this regional real estate market and can help you sell Kerrville real estate, Fredericksburg real estate or homes throughout the area.

Once you have a realtor, the two of you need to take an impartial look at the house and decide if any changes need to be made. Sometimes it is actually worth it to upgrade a room such as the kitchen or perhaps the master suite. Just repainting cabinets and adding great countertops can be enough of a change to attract buyers. For the master bedroom, you might want to upgrade fixtures and counters in the bathroom and make the room look like an inviting retreat.

Stage your home so that it looks as generic as possible. The reason that model homes look so appealing is because they are free of clutter, clean and decorated with a neutral color palate. Remove every trace of your personal life from your home before it goes on the market. Pack up photographs and other knickknacks, clean out closets and remove extra furnishings to make rooms appear larger and more open.

You also might consider moving out excess furnishings and cleaning out closets and your garage, as all of this makes your home look bigger and cleaner. Your yard also is a big selling point, so be sure it looks as good as possible. Keep the grass mowed, add some pretty flowers and wash the windows. You might even paint the front door or upgrade the door hardware and change out the mailbox for a few quick improvements. The first impression of a home can be a huge factor in how quickly it sells.
