2 Ways To Sell Your Home Fast

2 Ways To Sell Your Home Fast   These are the two main ways you can sell your home as fast as possible. Do you need to sell your home ASAP? There are plenty of reasons why a homeowner might need to sell their home immediately, whether they changed jobs, need their equity, or just want to skip the hassle of a sale. Whatever your reason is, what can you do to spend as little time selling your house as possible?  Home sellers who need to move quickly have two main options: using an all-cash offer program or listing with an agent who knows how to sell fast.  All-cash offer programs have no strings attached; they’ll take your home off your hands before you can blink. You don’t have to worry about long waiting periods, inspections, showings, appraisals, or anything else that might gum up a sale. Around 87% of buyers finance their home purchases, and while there’s nothing wrong with that, it leaves a lot of room for things to go wrong. An all-cash offer lets you skip the hassle entirely. “Good agents know tons of tricks to help you sell as fast as possible with the least amount of work.” However, there are some cons to all-cash offers. Most of these offers come from investors, which means they’re trying to make a profit from your property. They likely won’t offer you full market value for your home; in fact, they may try to flip it as soon as you close. All-cash offers are as convenient as it gets—unfortunately, you may have to pay for that convenience in the final sales price.  If you need to sell quickly but want to receive the most money possible, working with an experienced real estate professional is your best bet. They know tons of tricks to help you sell as fast as possible with the least amount of work. While your sale might not be as fast as using a cash-offer program, many sellers are surprised by how quickly they can sell if they use the right strategy.  For example, one of the best ways to sell your home fast on the open market is to price it competitively. That means your agent might suggest pricing your property slightly below market value. It may sound odd, but the attractive price point will bring in lots of buyers, which will increase competition and naturally drive up the price. Plus, you’ll be more likely to receive a cash offer.  Your agent might also suggest cleaning, decluttering, and depersonalizing. The easier it is for buyers to picture themselves living in your home, the faster it will sell. Similarly, curb appeal is crucial. First impressions matter, so if you tidy up your yard, you’ll receive a better deal. Finally, buyers love financial incentives. Offering to help pay closing costs or a transferable home warranty could convince a buyer to close as soon as possible. Whichever route is best for you, I would love to help. Just call or email me with any questions. I look forward to hearing from you!   Written by Ruby Miranda on January 27, 2023. Posted in Sell Your Home, UncategorizedTags: Sell Your Home Trackback from your site. Leave a Reply

3 Ways To Get Your Home Ready To Sell

3 Ways To Get Your Home Ready To Sell   A home that is correctly staged and prepped will sell for thousands of dollars more. It is crucial to thoughtfully prepare your home before you put it up for sale. A home that is correctly staged and prepped will sell for thousands of dollars more. However, how do you know where to start? There are a lot of things you could prioritize, and you don’t want to put your time and money into the wrong things. That is why I have created a list of three things to focus on when preparing your home: 1. Do the three d’s. They are: declutter, depersonalize, and deep clean. These are the basics that shouldn’t be overlooked. Move as much of your stuff as you can into a storage locker or your friend’s garage temporarily to make your house look bigger. Take down your pictures and other personalized trinkets so potential buyers can picture their family in the home, not yours. Then make sure every surface is as clean as it can be, inside and out. Don’t forget about things like ceiling fans, windows, and gutters. “A home that is correctly staged and prepped will sell for thousands of dollars more.” 2. Hire a professional photographer. It’s crucial that you don’t underestimate this. Just taking quick photos with your phone will not properly showcase your home. The photos and videos are what will draw potential buyers in, and if they aren’t good, then you won’t even get people to look at the house. The content needs to be high quality.  3. Consider the emotions. You want to appeal to the emotions of potential buyers by making the home feel cozy and welcoming. Fix the temperature, light some candles, bring in the natural light, and do anything you can to make them feel at home. Also, make sure you keep your own emotions in check. It makes sense that this home means a lot to you, it’s a huge part of your equity, and you’ve made years of memories in it! However, get ready to detach yourself from it, and don’t let your emotions stop you from choosing an appropriate list price.  There is a lot that goes into selling a home, but I am here with you every step of the way. These three things will get you going in the right direction and earn you much more money for your home. If you have any questions or would like me to help you list, please reach out! Call or email me anytime. I would love to hear from you.   Written by Ruby Miranda on January 19, 2023.

Contingent vs. Non-Contingent Offers

Contingent vs. Non-Contingent Offers   How is a contingent offer different from a non-contingent one?  What’s the difference between a contingent and a non-contingent offer? Understanding these two types of offers is more relevant now than ever since we’re in such a tough market for buyers. A contingent offer means that to purchase a home, you need to sell your current one first. This usually happens when a buyer needs the funds from the home sale for their purchase. On the other hand, a non-contingent offer means you don’t need to wait to sell another home to purchase a new one. It’s usually more attractive to sellers since they often make a more straightforward and smoother closing process. There’s a high chance that your contingent offer will be rejected for a non-contingent one.  Currently, the real estate market is hot, and most homes are going under contract with multiple offers. If you make a contingent offer on a home now, there will likely be non-contingent offers competing with yours. Unless you’re planning to offer the highest bid, your contingent offer will probably be rejected for a non-contingent one.  However, making a non-contingent offer in the current market is not a hopeless case. Don’t give up yet. I have several strategies I suggest to my buyers to make their offers stand out and win their dream home. If you’re considering taking advantage of today’s market and want to learn more about how I can help you craft a winning offer, don’t hesitate to call or email me. I’ll be happy to help!   Written by Ruby Miranda on July 15, 2022. Posted in Buyer Tips, Uncategorized Trackback from your site. Leave a Reply
