In the world of real estate, first impressions are key. Potential homebuyers are observing dozens of properties, so taking steps to stand out from the crowd as a home seller makes all the difference. 

Hire a staging company 

Professional staging companies are equipped to style and depersonalize your home in a way that potential homebuyers find appealing. Studies have shown, hiring a staging company alone can sell your property 3 to 30 times quicker. 

A staging company can also assist with making your property shine it’s best light online as well. It’s estimated over 90 percent of current homebuyers search for properties online. Your staging company can point you to great real estate photographers who can provide quality pictures of your property to display online. 

Stunning real estate photos will certainly help your home sell more quickly than homes advertising with low-quality photos. 

Offer an irresistible deal 

In addition to pricing your home slightly under the estimated value, consider adding in a few perks for the purchase of your property. These can include, but are not limited to: 

  • Offering flexibility on the home closing date. 
  • Paying a large percentage of the closing fees. 
  • Including electronics & furniture with the home sell. 

Increase curb appeal

By arranging and decorating the exterior of your home, you increase curb appeal. This can include planting flowers, new exterior paint, fixing cracks in the driveway and more. 

With these steps you can make a strong first impression on potential buyers and get your property sold quicker and potentially for a higher price. Working with your real estate agent can help you to identify additional ways to market your home in it’s best light.
