I can make it somewhat interesting about my home if I want to sell my home as the real estate agents are having no difficulty in getting listings right now. So it is easy to make it If I need to sell my house during this buyers' market (when there are lots of houses and properties on sale and a limited number of buyers) there are some things I can do to make my house more interesting to the agents and to the buyers.
Nothing motivates like the smell of money. I often offer a cash bonus to the agent that can sell my house by a certain date. I will have a clause in the listing agreement that the sale must be closed by a certain time and the price must to my liking, but the bonus has motivated many agents to show my home to more buyers.
Get more bodies through the house. I work with my agent to have as many open houses as I can. The more people that see my home, the more likely I am to sell my house. When signing a listing agreement, I usually include the number of open houses (or the frequency of the open houses) that I want to see.
If you don’t know what is going on, then you can’t help with a solution. I stay in touch with my agent and work with him to sell my house. If he says to pack up some of the clutter then I rent a storage unit and pack it away. If he says to paint the bathroom then I take a weekend and get it done. Cooperation will sell my house quicker than anything else.
People like to think they are getting something for free. I make sure that the listing agreement says that the appliances and the window treatments are including when I sell my house. I am also flexible about furniture. If the potential buyer just LOVES the patio furniture, I may through it in as an incentive – for free, of course.
The competition in today’s real estate market is vast and intense. In order to sell my house, I must find ways to make it stand out in the crowd. You can achieve quicker sale of your house if you offer bonuses or incentives and working hand in hand with your real estate agents.
