There are many different reasons why people try and sell their home. It could be that you are in financial difficulty, want to move up the property ladder, are relocating due to work or lifestyle, are separating from or divorcing your partner…or it could be that you simply want a new home for you and your family. However, it’s not as easy as putting your home on the market and waiting for a buyer to come along. Many people find that they can’t sell their home, especially in today’s property market as lending is much more difficult to achieve. If you are unable to sell your home there could be a number of reasons for this. Selling a home is now much trickier than it was a few years ago, especially if you want to sell your home fast. The property market isn’t as buoyant as it previously has been in recent years, and there are less buyers out there. Banks and building societies have a much stricter lending criteria following the economic crisis in 2009, and so there are less first time buyers out there setting off property chains. This has had a severe effect and so people are struggling to get a quick sale. However, don’t be disheartened. Even if the property market is facing tough times, homes that are well presented and realistically priced are still selling. The market isn’t dead and it’s just a case of making the most of your property and choosing a good agent to sell your property for you. If you have been on the market for some time, make sure that you listen to feedback from people who have been to your home for a viewing. Although you can’t do much about the location or size of the property, you can change other aspects such as the décor, price and sale conditions. If your home is not priced realistically, then this will delay the sale considerably. If it’s priced out of the market you won’t get people through the door and if it’s too low then people will think there is something wrong with it. Take advice from an experienced agent and make sure you do your research to see what price other similar properties are selling for. Make sure that the property is presented properly and that you spend some money on repairs and redecoration if required. Often people don’t want to have to spend money on a home they have just bought. Also ensure it is clutter free, clean, tidy and welcoming. Make sure you use lighting and mirrors to create a sense of space and help viewers envisage their belongings in the home. Use neutral colours, plants and rugs to make the home attractive. Find a really good estate agent. Do your research, get recommendations and make sure that they are friendly, trustworthy, passionate and knowledgeable. If you are unhappy with their service make sure you talk to them about it and check the contract so that you aren’t tied in for more than a few months at a time. Make sure you are paying a reasonable fee and that they are going to use the Internet, newspapers and advertising boards to market your home effectively. Finally, you could consider selling your home privately to a specialist company that buys homes fast for a good price. This way you could sell your house fast without the hassle of dealing with estate agents, legal fees and estate agent fees. You will often sell your home quicker this way, but make sure you find a reliable and legitimate company, one who could provide you with repossession help should be be needed. Fourth, you need the best agent you can find. The agent needs to be honest, friendly, trustworthy, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. A bad agent who is not interested in selling your home won’t do you justice so it’s a good idea to first pose as a buyer and see which agent seems the most knowledgeable and enthusiastic.
