Tips on How To Sell Your House Fast: Preparation

If you want to sell your house fast, don't rely on luck alone, careful planning is a must. Though it may look easy to broadcast your home for sale, it isn't the same when attracting buyers. I'll teach you a few tips I've learned that will surely help get your house sold fast so you can finally move on to that gorgeous new home you want!

Depersonalize. As the home seller, it is important that you disassociate yourself from your house. Set yourself to let go your house, as you’ve decided to sell it. What do I mean by this? Depersonalize by removing your personal photos and collections, family heirlooms, and everything that will make the house feel it belongs to you. No home buyer would want a house that's still attached to its previous owner. If you were the buyer, simply ask yourself, “would I buy this house”? Remember that YOU are selling your house and you need to make your buyers feel they can live in it, make them see themselves living in it.

Patch, Paint and Trim. Here's another better way to show your buyers that your house is in tip top shape. Patch up those holes, fix leaky faucets, fix that loose doorknob, wax the floor, repaint faded walls and windows, and so on. If you think your house needs a patch, paint and trim inside and out, do so! If you're a handy person, It'll only cost you a few dollars, a couple of hundreds if you hire someone, but cheaper if you ask your friends to help out.

Show More With Less. This means, to de-clutter your house. Not all the furniture you posses will make the house look homey for they buyers, too much stuff inside the house makes it appear smaller and uncomfortable. You'll be able to make a room appear larger if you maintain just enough furniture to showcase the room's purpose. Almost every home shows better with less furniture!

The whole point here is to get your house SOLD, not brag about your possessions. So don't make your buyers focus more on your possessions than the house you're trying to sell.

The Curb Appeal. It's the initial impression of a home, more buyers will be enticed to check out the inside if it has a curb appeal.

After you've done everything inside the house, you might want to check outside. If you're going to post an ad online with a photo of your house's exterior, no buyer will even think of calling you if your house looks worn out, and you also don't want your house to look like it's haunted. So, mow the lawn, plant flowers colorful if you must, trim the bushes, clear the sidewalks and get it fixed if it's cracked.

Finally, Getting The Right Publicist. You want to sell your house fast? You want to sell it for the right price? Then get the right publicist. Sure there's lots of them eager to sell your house, but don't just pick out one out of the blue. Take time to check for somebody who knows your neighborhood intimately, how long they've been in the business of selling houses, ask for a couple of references, know their marketing plans, and most of all, pick one who's trustworthy. You can attend open houses, search online listings, or even ask someone about their experience with their real estate agent.

Now that you know the things to look out for if you're going to sell your house, make look irresistible for buyers!
