Whether
you’re upgrading to a bigger home or downsizing to a modest
condominium, you’ll have to sell your current house before you can
move. However, with Vancouver’s competitive real estate market, the
time it will take between hanging the “For Sale” and “Sold”
signs might take interminably long. If you need to sell your house
quickly, here are a few tips to help you along:
Get
an experienced real estate agent
Yes,
hiring an agent is an additional cost but there is no faster way to
sell your house than to tap professional services. An agent can post
your property on multiple listing services to help it gain wider
exposure, as well as arrange viewings for interested parties. Once
your house is bought, an agent can also handle all the paperwork and
legal requirements so you can focus on preparing for the move.
Set
a reasonable price
Everyone
wants to get top dollar for their house, but be realistic when it
comes to pricing yours. Research comparable home prices in your area
and set your asking price around those figures. You might even want
to price it a bit lower—the relatively cheaper price attracts a lot
of attention and encourages competing bids from buyers.
Improve
curb appeal
Looks
aren’t everything, but buyers are more likely to purchase an
aesthetically pleasing home than a displeasing one. Clear up the
clutter, mow your lawn, change your doors and windows, and repaint
your house to give it a quick make over.
