Tips to Make Your Home Sell Faster

Need your home sold faster?  Follow these steps:

1. Put the clutter away -  If you have a built up of clutter or a room that you just throw everything into it is wise to rent a storage unit to make your home look more spacious.  It may cost $100 per month but that is nothing compared to how much more open your home will feel to potential buyers.  Since you have to pack it away anyways you might as well do it now so that it will benefit the sale of your home.

2. Neutralize and Depersonalize - If you have a bright red bathroom you may want to consider painting it a neutral color.  Potential buyers may frown upon rooms that are loud because they will know that they have to put more work into the home once they purchase it.  Assume people are lazy and do this yourself.  It will make your home sell faster.  Depersonalize your home by putting away family pictures and awards etc.  This will also help declutter your home.  Put up neutral paintings in their place.

3. Get Your Home Inspected - This will help ease the mind of potential buyers if this report is on the kitchen table as they look through your home.  It shows that you have done your homework and there are no hidden surprised with them making you an offer.  They will know the home condition upfront. Buyers like honest sellers.

4. Stage Each Room - Dont "repurpose" any room.  Arrange your furniture so that each room shines to its best potential.  Make sure that the sofa does not block the fireplace etc. 

5. Clean Your Floors - Get your carpets steamed cleaned and buff the hardwood floors if they are in bad condition.  This makes the house look kept and clean.  It will give the home a better look overall and appear cared for.  If you have dirty floors buyers are going to nit pick at everything else because they will think you have not taken care of the place.

Another thing you want to make sure that you do is price your home right.  Consult your realtor to help understand market trends and listen to their recommendation.  Using a real estate agent that can sell sell sell will give you the best advice.  If you are in the Schaumburg, Illinois area we recommend using www.AaronWittenstein.com.
