If your going to sell your home soon, you want to make sure you read this amazing report to give you simple ideas to help you prepare your home to sell fast and for top dollar!
There are several mistakes that the home seller makes... this is the list of some of the more important mistakes sellers make...
MISTAKE #1 -- PLACING THE WRONG PRICE ON YOUR PROPERTY Every seller obviously wants to get the most money for his or her product.
Ironically, the best way to do this is NOT to list your product at an excessively high price! A high listing price will cause some prospective buyers to lose interest before even seeing your property.
Also, it may lead other buyers to expect more than what you have to offer. As a result, overpriced properties tend to take an unusually long time to sell, and they end up being sold at a lower price. The Real Estate Market Has Changed . . . Remember not so long ago, when you could make your fortune in real estate. It was nothing then to buy a home, wait a short while, and then sell it at a tidy profit. And then do it all over again.
Well, as you probably know, times have changed. As good as the market is right now, home prices are still below what they were at their peak. Buyers are far more discriminating, and a large percentage of the homes listed for sale never sell. It’s more critical than ever to learn what you need to know to avoid costly seller mistakes in order to sell your home fast and for the most amount of money.

When you are ready to sell, make sure that you know why it is that you want to sell your home. Knowing your reason with affect every decision that you have to make when selling your home. It will affect the price that you set as a home seller. It will affect how much money you want to invest when you are preparing your home for sale. It will affect your marketing and advertising decisions when you are looking at the budget you want to spend on selling your home. This includes but is not limited to the amount of commission you want to offer the buyer’s agent, that will represent the home buyer.
Different reasons for selling your home will lead to different decisions on selling your home. So it’s important to have a good understanding on why you are selling your home, to help you prepare to sell your home.
Make sure that you find a Professional Realtor to help you with this important transaction of selling your home. Like every other industry, there are many levels of quality realtors, and not all of them are professional. A lot of realtors are part time realtors, they don’t make their lively hood in Real Estate. Would you hire a part time dentist or a part time Doctor to work on you? Why would you hire a part time realtor to handle your most valuable asset?
Also, be careful choosing a realtor who list’s a lot of homes. Just because they list a lot of homes for sale, doesn’t mean that they get them all sold. In fact, most realtors that focus on listing a lot of homes, don’t spent the time necessary to market all of these homes properly. Sometime their ratio of homes listed vs. homes sold is as low as 40% (meaning they only sell 40% of the homes that they sell). A lot of realtors list homes and let them expire before they get offers or do the proper marketing.
In most cases a moderate or small full time realtor will make sure that you home get the attention that is needs and will work closely with you until your home gets sold. Why do realtors want a lot of listings and do a lot of advertising? Do pick up more home buyers. They get new leads when people call about the sign in your front yard. And that doesn’t mean they will steer the home buyer to your home, it just means they have a new home buyer to work with and help find a new home.
Selling your home requires more these days than just putting it up on the MLS. You need to get as much exposure as possible on various websites throughout the internet. You need to have great pictures of your home for the people to see when they are searching on the internet. Your realtor should have a solid video of your home to share on the internet to entice the home buyer sitting at home to jump out of their chair, away from the computer and into the car to look at you home in person.
When you work with a Maryland Real Estate Professional Realtor, we will make sure that we take amazing pictures of your home, and shoot a video of your home as well. 90% of the home buyers today start their home searches on the internet. So you want to make sure that your professional realtor puts your home in the best light possible on the internet. It should be easy to find throughout the internet and look amazing. If your realtor cannot provide that to you as a home seller, then they are not a Professional Realtor.

At MDREPros we’ve been helping home buyers and home seller homes for 15+ years now. I can’t think of a single time where the seller didn’t want to sell house fast. Even when the seller says they don’t have to sell house fast, they really want to sell fast. So how fast should your house sell once you put it on the market? What is it that makes it so you can sell house fast?
Current research suggests that how fast your home sells doesn’t rely on just the wat’s going on in the marketplace, but there are many other factors as well. We are starting to see the market turn around, and houses are selling a little faster, but there are still some homes that are sitting on the market for a long time. So what does that mean to the home seller, and how can they prepare to sell house fast? There are things under your control as a seller and things that are out of your control. Sometime the stars align and a house flies off the market and other times, you have to prepared the seller for a difficult ride. Especially if you want to try to get more for your home than what the normal market price is.
FACTORS AFFECT WHETHER YOU SELL HOUSE…
At MDREPros, we try to prepare our sellers and make them aware of the things that they can control, and guide them and advise them on the things that the seller can control. In our area currently it hasn’t been as fast as some of the other areas of the country, but it has been a little faster than others. So what can a typical seller expect?
Let’s begin by understanding that there are factors that you can control, and factors that you can’t control that make it so you can sell house fast. Let’s start with the factors you can’t control… Such as local economy, employment, income growth and population. If the economy is hot, and there aren’t that many houses on the market, chances are very good that you are going to sell house fast. If the economy is slow and there are a lot of homes on the market, then chances are it will take a while to sell your home.
Things that you can control are things like, price, time of year, condition of your home, and accessibility. Believe it or not, I have had homes for sale, where the seller wasn’t willing to let buyers in their home to look at it. You have to make your home accessible!
The main thing to remember is we have had several years of foreclosures and shorts sales. At MDREPRos we remind our sellers that home buyers aren’t looking for deals, the home buyers are looking for steals. They don’t care what you paid for the house, what you owe the bank or how much profit you want to make. They only care about what the market will bear, and then to get the price below that. It’s still a buyers market.
So, anyone can sell house fast simply by cutting the price far below what it’s worth. MDREPros has clients that are investment companies in most large markets that will buy your house for cash in almost no time — an hour, a day, a week — but at 40 to 50 percent below market value.
Let’s not worry about the deep deep-discount deals, how about getting pricing “right” for your own objectives. This is the number 1 thing that you can control you, and have over speed. If you prefer to get the maximum within a relatively short time, pricing just below what your agent believes to be the likely selling price may make sense. It might even set off a bidding competition and get you a higher price than you expected.
You need to understand that you will slow the process by pricing slightly higher than what you need — leaving room for bargaining with buyers — but there’s a risk. MDREPros reminds sellers that If you make a mistake and price it too far on the upside, you could scare away prospective buyers for months. MDREPros along with most professional realtors will tell you that overpricing is the biggest traffic killer of all. When people see you’re asking too much and they just stay away! You will never sell house fast if you overprice it. Period! It’s a fact, you need to accept that! Price is the number one motivator for home buyers and will effect how fast your home will sell.
Good Internet Presence Helps Sell House Fast!
PRICING IS NUMBER ONE FACTOR TO SELL HOUSE FAST!
De-Clutter Helps Home Sell Fast!
Make sure that your realtor takes good pictures and shows the home well on the internet. 94% of all home buyers are starting their home searches on the internet. The print magazines and newspapers are going away, people are looking on the popular websites and searching of homes in $25,000 increments. (i.e. $200,000 to $225,000 or $225,000 to $250,000) Make sure that your realtor does a good job of presenting your home.
At MDREPros we get the question all the time, will staging a home help me sell house fast? It depends on the home and what the house looks like. I have seen some homes that are amazing, the sellers have beautiful taste, and they live better than someone could stage it. I’ve seen others where the home is in a jumble and it confuses the buyers, and staging could help, or it takes a little longer to sell the house. The key is to make the home “uncluttered”. I don’t think you need to add furniture to an empty house… but I do think you need to get rid of the clutter. Clutter makes the house “feel” small.
Again, make the home accessible. We’ve heard it been said that it’s best if there is a lockbox on the door and the home is available at 10 minutes notice. We at MDREPros know this is difficult for the home seller, but the easier it is for people to see, the chances are the right buyer will get in quicker and make an offer on the home. Helping you sell the house faster.

Remember that the home buyers are a lot more discriminating these days, and with the advent of the internet, virtual tours and pictures, buyers are making a decision about your home, before they even walk in the door. So if you’re not making an amazing impression on the internet, and pricing the home correctly (a little below market value) then be aware that you’re in this for the long haul.
