When you have no other choice but to sell your home, what do you do? What if taking it out onto the market is simply going to take too much time?
Normally, real estate agents won’t want to pick up your case because they know, inherently, a quick sale will almost always mean a cheap sale price.
Therefore they will get a lower commission, so why waste their tie when they can just work on another sale to earn more money? The choices for the urgent sale customer are very low it seems.
But, what few options you have, you make up for expediency and being able to rely on trusted avenues.
Go to an auction
Some of the fastest sales that can be made of any property, are done at auction. Going to a property auction is a great learning curve. You will see how things get done, what kind of customer you will be selling to, and what the process looks like. The key things to remember are.
- You are selling to in-person and online customers. So inform the representatives of the online clients about your property, so they can relay the information to the customer.
- You will be waiting in line, competing with lots of other properties, of all shapes and sizes.
- Your place in the line is very important. Don’t be placed too soon in the list, you want customers to whet their appetite first and compare their options to your property.
- You will be paying a commission to the auction house, so make sure you are okay with their terms.
Auctions are exciting and fast-paced, and you may get people to bid for your home. But beware of having the right strategy and knowing how the process actually works.
Specialist buyers
Rather than going to an auction, if you want to sell your home tomorrow instead of next week, you can speak with specialists like those who say ‘we buy houses for cash’.
These kinds of specialist services are excellent of those seeking to sell their homes in a matter of hours or days. It’s crucial that you understand their process.
Call them first, or fill out their online form. They schedule a walkthrough, either online using your smartphone camera or webcam, or in person. You will immediately receive an offer and you can barter for a little while or accept it right away.
If you accept and they accept boom! Your house is now sold.
Don’t haggle, just sell
No matter what kind of service you use to sell your home, if you want to sell it quickly, then lower the price.
You should have a picture of how low you’re willing to go and what the average price would be for a property of the type you’re selling.
Try to place the price in a position that you feel you’re getting as much out of it as you can, but really enticing customers with a bargain they simply cannot turn away from.
Selling your home in a hurry isn’t difficult, you just need to know the correct avenues to get the job done. We recommend going to an auction because you can set the price low, but if the right customers are present, they will start a bidding war, which is great for you!
