Do you need to get your house sold fast?

There are some simple things you can do to speed up the sale of your home. You can make it more appealing. You can get all the carpets cleaned and make all the necessary repairs. In fact, there are many tips out there on how to get your Long Island NY home off the market faster than you can think of.

However, there are also a handful of general mistakes that tend to slow down the sale of your house. The last thing you want is for your home to sit on the market for months without any viable offers.

If you want to sell your home quickly, you need to avoid committing the following three major blunders at all costs.

• Thinking that a For-Sale sign is enough

Signs in the yard and newspapers do not sell homes anymore. You can’t place a for-sale sign in your front yard and assume that potential buyers will come running to your door.

In today’s market, over 90 percent of our buyers use the Internet as the main source of shopping. If you aren’t online, you are missing out on a huge pool of serious buyers.

If you want to sell your Long Island NY home fast, you need professional listings with high-quality photos and descriptions on easily accessible websites and listing engines.

• Not knowing your home’s selling point

Identifying your home’s selling point is crucial in getting your house off the market as early as possible. While every home is unique in its own way, you should know what makes your house stand out from the rest of the competition.

Is your property bigger than neighboring houses? Do you have a nicely landscaped and fenced yard? If your property offers something that others don’t, then that is a plus for you.

Knowing your home’s selling point will be useful when marketing your home to potential buyers. Make sure that there is something special about your house that will make it memorable for potential buyers.

• Trying to Sell Your Home without an Agent

If you try to sell your home by yourself, without any professional experience, you may still end up selling your home. However, it will probably take longer and you’ll end up getting less, even after saving the six percent commission.

Without the help of a real estate professional, you’ll have to spend a lot of time educating yourself on the process of selling a home, the current market, advertising methods, and working with potential buyers.

On the other hand, working with an excellent real estate agent can help sell your home quickly. Agents such as myself have access to marketing materials and resources that will make it easier to sell your property.
