3 Steps to Sell Your House in a Week

it              1) Price it right. Factors to consider include location, condition, updating, schools, proximity to amenities and knowing the market. Price it over the market and it is likely to languish, price it right and you will have several offers and very likely sell it at above the list price.

                2)  Prepare your house for sale. This includes taking care of deferred maintenance issues, cleaning, painting, organizing and staging. To be really proactive, have your home pre inspected. It’s always cheaper to take care of a problem before it is identified as an inspection issue.

                 3) Choose your buyer carefully. Your goal isn’t to get offers, it’s to sell your house. Make sure you have a buyer who is not only pre-qualified but commited to buying your house and will hang in there through a long, sometimes difficult process.

And you will be rewarded by having an excited buyer, who will show up at closing with the funds and be ready to love your house as you have!
