How Can I Sell My Home Fast?

The smart seller knows it's important to get a home sold in less than 40 days. After this, your listing gets buried by all the more current ones and people tend to shy away thinking something must be wrong with the house.

The key to selling your home fast is price. Price needs to be at or slightly below market value. This will attract multiple buyers and multiple buyers create higher bids. (Nothing better than being able to tell a buying agent there are multiple offers and he turns in a offer above the price!)

The best way to get the best price is find an agent who knows the area and does a thorough comp. Because I am also an appraiser, I have access to more information that average realtor for pricing homes I sell. Many agents know of at least one appraiser and can work with an appraiser to find a home price for a nominal fee.

It can be hard to put a price on a home you think is too low but you need to remember when it's on the market, it is no longer your home. Take the emotions out and watch the offers come pouring in!
