            The typical real estate agent spends a lot of energy searching for sellers to list their home with them. Yet, once the commitment is made most agents fall short in being able to move the house in a timely manner. Time is money. The quicker an agent can move a home, the more money an agent can make.  The following tips can help any agent sell a home faster.

Pricing 

            Agents should do their homework. Price of a home is directly tied to supply and demand. The selling price of a home is only realistic if there is demand. Trying to sell a home for $230,000 when the market will on pay $190,000 will result in the house sitting on the market for a long time. The key is to get buyers interested in the property. Be sure you price the home accordingly.

Consider a Pre Listing Home Inspection

            Agents who are looking to make the most commission on a home sale would be wise to consider a pre-listing home inspection. The agent and seller can have a true representation of the condition of the home. Identifying any home deficiencies can allow the seller to take corrective action or at least have an idea of the cost to repair the issue. This information can provide valuable information to prevent future buyers from making low ball offers.

Curb Appeal Is A Must

            It is all about first impressions. When buyers first see a home they often judge the inside by the outside. A messy yard or mildewed house, will send the buyers running away. Take time to discuss the importance cleaning up outside the home. A couple hours of yard maintenance or pressure washing can ensure buyers will want to stop and look at the home.

Staging The Home

            This is important. Buyers who are looking for a home will make a purchase if they can see themselves living in the home. This experience can be enhanced if the home is staged properly. This does not have to be expensive. Consider the message you want the home to convey and start building that theme. By ensuring the house is clean and free of clutter is a start. Agents can then consider adding arrangements to tables, upgrading cabinet fixtures, drapes, decorative pillows and area rugs.   

Market The Home

            Once the agent has the home appropriately priced, armed with a pre-listing inspection, giving the home some curb appeal and properly staging the home, it is time to market. Do not be shy! Call area realtors and let them know about the property. You should be confident in the home. This confidence will show realtors that this home will be a great buy for the client that needs to make a quick purchase. Use social media to drive prospective buyers to scheduled a showing. Consider scheduling an open house.  Be sure that you let everyone know that you are selling the home.
