As we’ve watched the Real Estate market over the past months during COVID-19 we’ve noticed what makes a house stand out and sell quickly compared to the ones that just sit. So today we’re sharing it with you to help you prepare to sell your home fast
1. Price your home at it’s true market value.
Now is not the time to push the market. With so much uncertainty in the world people are still buying homes but are being very cautious about their purchases. Pricing your home at true market value based on sales from the last 60-90 days will help you sell your home fast.
2. Hire a professional photographer
You want the images taken to be done well, good lighting and the right angles are a must when taking photos or they won’t look good. If your photos don’t look good, you’re less likely to get a potential buyer to take a second look while they’re home scrolling, much less schedule a private showing.
3. Provide a virtual tour for your listing
A virtual tour is the thing that can truly tip the scale in your favor. It takes a lot for a buyer to come see a house, even more now with our current circumstance. Having a virtual tour of your home online lets them see the flow and feel of your home without actually stepping a foot inside, but it's the thing that will motivate them to do so sooner than later.
4. Hire an agent that markets really well social media
The New York Times reported that since the quarantine Facebook engagement has increased almost 30%. Since more and more people are at home and on social media, marketing your home on social media gives even more exposure by getting people excited about your home whether they are in the process of looking for a home or not.
5. Get Professional Staging
You will want your home to put its best foot forward in the photos, video, and social media. You want people to be able to see how the space can be used and imagine themselves in it. This is where a professional stager can help.
