5 Critical Tips To Sell Your Home Quickly From an Agent In Alanton 

If you want to know how to sell your home quickly then these tips from our real estate agent when he was visiting a listing in Alanton are just what you need.

​

When it comes to selling your house it is crucial that the house has many things set correctly or it could mean that you house stays on the market for many months and you sell it for a lot less money than you had planned.

​

Luckily for you though...if you are living in Alanton or anywhere in Virginia Beach right now the market is a sellers market.  That means that inventory is low (not many houses listed for sale in the area) but there are still many people looking to buy.  This essentially means that you as the seller have the advantage.

​

So here are some amazing tips to help you sell your house fast...

​

Tips To Help You Sell Your House Fast

1.  Upgrade Your Appliances For Quick Selling.  

Appliances are actually a very important thing to potential buyers and they are willing to pay your more money for them (especially if they are in good or new condition).  Lets face it, you are in competition with everyone else that is trying to sell their house at the same time you are trying to sell your.  This one thing could be the difference in your house selling or your neighbors house selling.

2.  Upgrade Your Kitchen and Bathrooms in Your Home. 

These are the most important rooms to your potential buyers.  These rooms are the pivotal decision points and will end up being the reason they pick your house or not.  The good news is you don't have to replace the entire room.  It is highly recommended that you do the following though:

Just by doing these small improvements to these room will have a huge impact on your selling your house for more money and faster.

Here is a short video explaining what we have covered so far:

3.  Setting The Right Price For Fast Selling In Alanton or Anywhere in Virginia Beach

​

Setting the price correctly on your house is a very important step.  If this part is not done correctly the house could sit on the market for a very long time.  The 'hot spot' when selling a house is during the first couple weeks of it coming on the market.  After the first 2 weeks the visitors slowly start to die down.

​

If you set the price to high the problem is you are losing the impact of the first 2 week 'sweet spot' because not most people wont come to see you house because it is either to much for them or they will think you are not serious about selling.

​

There are tools and training available if you want to do this yourself but it you would be better off contacting a real estate agent that specializes in your area and knows the market very well.  This realtor will be able to give you the price you should list your house for sale at.

​

4.  De-cluttering Your Home Is Crucial To Selling It

​

This part seems like it should go without saying.  When you want to sell something you want it to look nice first, right?  Well, the truth is most people skip this step because they don't want to deal with it and just want to 'take their chances' and sell it as it currently looks.  This is not a good idea.

​

The funny thing is when you sell the house you have to move the stuff that's in it out of it anyway.  So why wait?  Just do it now so that you can get more money for your house and sell it quicker.

​

While you are at it, go ahead and de-personalize (not pictures of you or your family), give it a good cleaning (hire a maid service), give the landscaping a good manicure (could hire someone as well), remove any evidence that you have an animal (if you do) and stage the house nicely with you current furniture.

5.  Take Some Professional Photos with Good Lighting For Listing the Home

​

Taking some good pictures with good lightening can make a huge difference on people actually coming out to look at your house.  Before anyone ever comes out to look at it they are going to look at the pictures first.  

​

I see everyday how some people just took some quick photos with their phone and the room in the house look all dark, the room looks small and there is stuff all over the photo.  These are a big turn off to most buyers that are looking to pay top dollar for a house.  ​

If they are paying top dollar they want everything to be perfect in the house before they move in.  If you you don't want to do these things just plan on having to lower the price on your and you will lose out on a lot of potential buyers and the house will probably sit for a while.

​

Conclusion

​

If you follow these tips laid out your home should get a lot of visitors right away and should sell very quickly.  One of the team's clients in Alanton didn't want to go through all of this work to get the house ready to sell because that's part of the reason they were moving.

​

I mean lets face it, if you make the house look amazing then you might change your mind on actually selling it in the first place.  A lot of home owners get behind on their up-keep of the house and it gets neglected.  It would be nice to just get rid of the house and then get a new one that doesn't have any issues.  Unfortunately is doesn't work this way.

​

Believe it or not the best thing you can do is to take the next couple weeks to prepare the house for sale using these tips and it will actually end up saving you time (because you house will sell quickly) and you will make more money because of it.
