Top 5 Tips to Make Your Property Sell Faster


Selling your home can sometimes be a stressful ordeal. Furthermore, one of the worst fears you may have is putting your property on the market and having it sit there for a prolonged period of time.

One of the most important steps to take when you are selling your property is to find and partner with a reliable real estate lawyer and/or agent who will assist you through the process. A professional real estate lawyer, for instance, will deal with things such as the purchase contracts, title documents, advice you on any relevant taxes that need to be paid, as well as with closing the deal.

The truth is that no one wants their property sitting on the market for longer than it needs to be. Sometimes, however, there will be circumstances that will be beyond your control such as a slow market, or an ’incorrectly’ priced property

Here are the top 5 tips to make your property sell faster.

1. Price your property correctly.

Nothing is more important than pricing your property appropriately. You love your home and you may think that it is special compared to everyone else’s; however, your diamond might just be a regular piece of bronze to someone else. Always remember that the market has no emotions and only responds to good pricing. Here are some helpful tips on how to price your property.

When it comes down to pricing your property always look at it from an elevated perspective, if you price your home well from the get-go, the faster it will sell!

2. Use word of mouth and social media networks.

A lot of sellers believe that if their property is posted online on a realty website such as streeteasy.com or realnyproperties.com that the entire world will see and call you straight away. The person who buys your property could be someone who does not even look at online property platforms, the person who buys your property could have heard about it through word of mouth or seen it on a friend’s Facebook page.

There is nothing more valuable when it comes to selling your home than letting your friends, family and acquaintances know what you are trying to do. Even if they are not interested, they may know someone who knows someone who may be interested in buying a property just like yours. This is seen as an unconventional way of advertising in this day and age, but letting your co-workers, family, neighbors, gym partners, etc. know that your property is for sale is a cheap and easy way to get your product out there.

All your so-called friends on Facebook and followers on Instagram and Twitter are finally going to have something meaningful to post about. Using your social media networks to advertise that you are selling your property is another great way to advertise without simply sticking to property website listings. Post that your property is for sale and be sure to include all aspects of your home including the lovely backyard area and amazing views.

Another way to create a buzz about your property sale is to join a few Facebook groups, including groups just for property sales and real estate. Use your social media networks to your advantage! The cool thing about advertising your property on social media is that it’s free and chances are it’ll be shared multiple times.

3. Make a good first impression.

As much as you don’t like strangers viewing your property, it is so important to put your best foot forward and ensure that you make the best first impression. After all, you are trying to make your home a place that a potential buyer doesn’t won’t want to pass up.

Before you schedule any viewings of your property first ask yourself, is it neat and tidy? Does the property look cared for? Is it decluttered? Attention to detail will really interest people and hold their interest for a lot longer. Your property should look lovely with fresh flowers and a new set of paint on the walls. Overall, it should be visually appealing enough for a potential buyer to imagine themselves living in your home comfortably.

4. Take high-quality photos.

When you look for your future home, how many posts have you completed looked passed completely because of the photographs of the property? A photograph that is taken without any effort, with bad lighting and horrible image quality will not have an audience.

If the camera on your phone just won’t cut it then, perhaps, it’s time to get a professional to do the job in order to get high-quality photographs. Your other option is to get a camera and take the photos yourself. In the long run, professional photographs that show off your property in the best possible light will go a long way in selling your property fast.

Get professional help

In reality, you cannot do everything yourself. You need one or more professionals to assist you, especially with the things you do not quite understand or that you are not very knowledgeable about. This professional can range from a real estate attorney to a property agent.  A lawyer, for instance. can help you with the transactions when it comes to selling your property. They will draw up the legal documents, review them, arrange the transfers and in general, they will make it easier and a lot less stressful for you to sell your property.

So why should you spend money to hire a real estate attorney? Well, as someone selling a property you will need the legal protection and important advice only a professional real estate lawyer can give you. Otherwise, you stand the chance of doing something that you should not do, which may end up being costly.

Selling your property fast at the right price is almost every seller’s goal. Do not make it a tiring and boring ordeal; use these top 5 tips to make your property sell faster without the headache that is often associated with it..
