How to Get Your House Sold Quickly For the Best Price

Do you want to sell your house quickly?  The best approach is to view the house from the perspective of a potential buyer. Make the house move-in ready. Depersonalize your house by removing excess photos and artwork from the refrigerator. You want the buyer to see the house with their belongings. De-clutter your house to make it more open and spacious looking. Make repairs, paint and clean. A simple fresh coat of paint can make a world of difference. Look at your house and see what home inspector or appraiser will see and fix it before time of inspection. Make sure all electrical outlets are covered; there are no exposed wires or chipped paint. If you have a pool, make sure you can see the bottom of the floor. And finally, add to the curb appeal to your house by trimming the grass and hedges and adding colorful plants by the entryway or driveway.

Home Repair Scam Alert

Beware of home improvement scammers that come day after day, knocking on your door to repair never-ending problems with your home. One day, they will offer to trim trees. Progressively, they will point out additional yet needless problems that need attention, such as repairing roofs or sealing driveways. These scammers usually request funds upfront for needed materials and most with your cash in hand do not come back to finish the jobs. Most are not even qualified to perform such tasks. Most reputable contractors are too busy to knock door-to-door for your business. However, if you do choose to engage in such services, make sure the contractor is licensed, insured and bonded to do the work in your county if license is required. Also, if a permit is necessary, make sure they pull up the correct permits. If they say they do not do that, then skip the company and find a contractor that does.
