The sale of a home is one of the largest transactions that an individual makes during a lifetime.

Whether you’re looking for a different atmosphere, moving for work, or accounting for any number of factors, selling your home can be one of the most complex and daunting deals you will make.

While nobody wants a house for sale that rots on the market, some sellers find themselves getting discouraged. They listed their house months ago and have yet to receive a single offer.

If you want to sell your Long Island NY house fast, you need to know the factors that usually keep a seller from closing a deal.

Here are a few to consider:

-Being not ready to sell

Sometimes, the biggest obstacle to selling a home fast is the seller. When the idea to sell their home starts to become serious, many people find that the decision is much harder than they anticipated.

Do you ever find your thoughts going back and forth about whether or not to sell your home?

We all feel attached to our homes – after all, we’ve spent lots of time and made many memories there. However, if you are still emotionally attached to your home, you may end up sabotaging your home sale. In order to sell your Long Island NY home fast, you need to view your house as a product.

-A poor first impression

When deciding how to sell a house, it is important to make a great first impression. Failing to do so may stop prospective buyers from seeing the house.

Psychologists say that we make up our minds about a person within the first fifteen seconds of meeting them. The same is true when viewing a house.

Prospective homebuyers are influenced by their first impression of a property. The average house hunter will often decide, within a matter of seconds, if they are interested in a house.

If you want to sell your home fast, you have to create a fantastic first impression.

You don’t have to spend a fortune doing a complete makeover. There are a number of simple and inexpensive things you can do to ensure that your house makes a great first impression on potential buyers.

-Advertising photos are subpar

The home buying process has changed dramatically over the past few decades. Today, the majority of buyers start their home search online. They make a decision about whether or not to come see your house based on a quick glance at your listing photos.

When looking at a home online, people like to see what the property looks like. If there are few or no photos, or if the photos look bad because they weren’t professionally taken many buyers will move on to the next listing.

The online photos of your home can make a difference, so using a professional photographer to help you sell your home is  necessary. Good photos should be crisp and clear. They should be taken during the day when there is plenty of natural light available, and should showcase your home's best assets.
