Sell Your Home Fast With These Simple Tricks

Selling your home can be a tricky business, especially if you don’t know the tricks of the trade. Luckily, with over 22 years of first-hand experience, we know the ins-and-outs of the real estate market and we want to help make the process smooth and easy for you. To do so, we are providing you with three simple and important tips that are overlooked too often when selling a home. 

1. Don’t Let The Dogs Out

We love animals and chances are you do too, but not everyone does. Having pets run up to potential buyers can be extremely off-putting. Even water and food dishes left out can be unappealing to those looking at your home. It can give off the impression that your home is dirty and chaotic. If there is a showing or open-house, we suggest bringing the pets to a daycare or friends for the day.

2. The Kitchen is You Biggest Star

Many underestimate the value of an updated kitchen when selling you home. However, our suggestion is, if you can afford nothing else, the least you must do is put some extra cash towards fixing up the kitchen. A lackluster kitchen could cause you to lose $10,000 off your asking price, but a little extra cash put towards updating almost guarantees you will receive 85% of you money back. 

3. Stay Bright

A gloomy dark house will weigh on the buyer’s moods and they will likely to leave without your house having made any sort of positive impression. Make sure to clean and open all the curtains and blinds, and increase the wattage in your bulbs. It’s a small cost that can really pay off. 

All these tips are easily applicable, and we have seen them make a huge difference when assisting past sellers. If you have any more questions, please give us a call at (907) 696-1234 and we would be happy to offer you additional tips and knowledge of the industry.
