How To Sell Your Home Fast!

Ready to put your home on the market? Here’s a comprehensive guide that will help you sell your Central Frisco house fast.  

We will cover the importance of pricing your home right, strategic techniques of home pricing, how to choose the best listing agent, ways to get your home show-ready, staging, upgrades to consider that will move your house, and even home appraisals.

 

What price should I sell my home for ?

When you are ready to sell your Central Frisco home, the first thing you should consider is the price.

Your home’s price is one of the most important components to consider if you want to sell your home fast. No matter how beautiful a home is, or what kind of market your home is currently in, if the home is not priced correctly, it will not sell.

Like many home sellers, you may be worried about pricing your home. Price it too low and you’ll lose money. Price it too high and it may not sell.

How then should you price your home?

This is where a great listing agent can help you. Your agent can prepare a comparative market analysis (CMA), a report that shows an evaluation of comps in your area. Comps (or comparables) are homes similar to yours in size, square footage, price, and age, that have sold recently.

Through the CMA, you get an idea of the average price of homes sold in your area, great in helping decide the home price you will set.

You’ll also have to check out the active listings, or the competition, of the other homes being sold in your area.  There are many things included in the CMA that your agent will use to help you set your home’s price.

Do I need a listing agent?

Putting your Central Frisco home up for sale is not as easy as sticking a ‘For Sale’ sign in your front yard, especially if you want to sell  your home fast. The selling process is not easy, that’s why you need to decide if you will get the help of a listing agent or sell it yourself.

Do you need a listing agent to sell your home? While you can sell your home on your own, there are many advantages to having the assistance of a real estate agent.

1. Knowledge. Real estate agents study and get a state license before they can become a professional.

That’s not saying they know everything, but they likely know more than you when it comes to dealing with the market, contracts, and negotiation. Their knowledge comes in handy.

2. Convenience. Selling your home on your own means doing everything from pricing, marketing, getting it ready, staging, to open houses, all on your own. While that may be fun, it can also be challenging and exhausting, both physically and emotionally.

A real estate agent can make things easier for you. This is what we do for a living, and we have already learned how to cope with the many challenges involved in the real estate business. With our help, you can get your home ready to sell, without causing you as much emotional distress.

3. Experience. When you want to sell your home fast, you want the assistance of someone who has done it many times.

We have been doing this for years, so when we walk in a home, we immediately know what rooms need work, something you may not see. Our experience also helps us to be objective during the negotiation process, where many sellers get personal because they are emotionally attached to the home.

4. Dealing with contracts and paperwork. Do you love paperwork? Not many people do. Not all real estate agents do for that matter, but because we have been doing it for many years, we have become more efficient in handling contracts and other paperwork.

Your real estate agent is your new best friend if you want to move your home quickly.

Should I Redecorate my Frisco TX Home Before Putting It on the Market?

What is the answer to one of the most frequently asked questions by home sellers?

Yes, you should redecorate your Frisco TX home for sale. Before you react or get upset, here’s the reason why I am suggesting you redecorate.

 

I know you are proud of your Frisco home. It is one of your best financial assets and you have worked hard to make it comfortable and dreamy. You have created a lot of memories in that home.

When the time has come for you to sell your Frisco TX home,  you might be apprehensive about what potential buyers may say when they come and visit your home. To make your home sell-worthy, you need to redecorate.

You must remember that potential home buyers ha

ve different tastes and preferences. No matter how artistic, exotic or unique your home decor may be, it must be toned down to make it more appealing to the potential buyer’s taste.

It must be done if you want to sell your home successfully.

How important is Redecorating?

Redecorating or staging is a must for any home for sale. It ensures that your home is sold successfully and potentially can add value to your home.

This process involves highlighting your home’s strengths and downplaying its weakness. It gives potential home buyers a chance to visualize what the house will look like once it’s theirs.

Consider staging similar to product packaging. You are packaging your Frisco TX home for sale so that it can be more attractive to buyers.

Staging does not need to be expensive. There are many budget-friendly things you can do to stage your home. The best thing is, staging your home properly yields higher return.

What are some basic staging techniques you can apply to your home?

Before your home goes on the market, here are some staging techniques you can do.

1. Deep clean and declutter. Do more than the regular home cleaning you are used to. Even the cleanest home has something to clean or get rid of.

This means getting rid of or putting into storage any knick-knacks  or books that have been accumulating in the corner. Take out the excessive display of your children’s accomplishments that hang on all the walls of the living room. Remove 90% of your personal stuff in the home.

You want the home to look clean and tidy and with plenty of space, and decluttering accomplishes that. If your carpet has not been cleaned for a year, now is the perfect time to have it deep cleaned. If you don’t have time, consider getting a professional cleaning job.

2. A fresh coat of paint. Paint is a miracle worker. It can make dirty walls look new. It gives new life to anything it touches.

A fresh can of paint can make the home look better, brighter and newer. Also, go neutral with the paint. If you wish to make it more lively, add a pop of color and use it as an accent.

3. Repair and maintain. Do not ignore the seemingly small repair issues.

Replace the leaking faucet and cracked tile in the kitchen.  Change the bathroom’s broken door knob. Fix the rundown portion of the fence.

A good thing to do to know what to fix and improve is to walk from the street and look at your home with a buyer’s eye. Check out the roof, sidings, windows and walls.

4. Improve your home’s lighting. Buyers love homes that are bright, open and well-lighted.

Replace any busted light fixtures and upgrade to contemporary styled ones. Take out the dark, heavy draperies hanging on the windows to let in natural light. Not only does this trick brighten the home, it also makes the space look bigger.

5. Spruce up your home’s curb appeal. Mow the lawn, prune the shrubs and trees and plant some colorful flowers in the garden. Make sure that your walkway is clean and well-kept.

These staging techniques are inexpensive, simple and can add value to your Frisco TX home for sale. Visit our website www.316RealEstate.com for more helpful tips and techniques on home staging.
