Sell Your Own Home Within 3 Weeks

If you’re a home owner suffering under the current economic climate, you might be looking to sell your own home in order to regain financial control. This is an extremely good idea, as you can always buy another home once the hard times are over. If you’re a bit uneasy about opting for a private sale, you might be surprised at how easy it actually is, especially once you have a solid plan in place.

It’s very possible to have your home sold within 21 days if you know what you’re doing. In fact, the current housing market is jam-packed with buyers because of the low prices, so it’s actually quite easy. The tough part will be getting a solid price without dropping down too much. See, buyers know how desperate home owners are to sell, which makes it a tough game. However, there are also a few powerful strategies you can use to sell for a higher price.

The first step to make this plan successful is to solidify your confidence in the price. Get in a third-party valuer, and get his or her full, honest opinion. You want to aim for a value in the top range, and be prepared to make a hard sell for it. Trust me, it IS possible to get a high price even in a buyers market!

Once you’ve got a confident price, it’s time to advertise. The key is to make your ads unique and original, and to use the internet for all it’s worth. There are plenty of free real estate websites out there that give your property good exposure to a wide crowd of buyers. You can even pay a few bucks to get extra viewing space in many sites.

To make your ads powerful and original, put yourself into the shoes of a salesperson. Be exciting, be confident, and NEVER use the word “negotiable”! Saying this word is like saying “I picked a price and just added $20,000 so you can knock a bit off if you like”. Really sounds confident, doesn’t it?

When you’re ads have seen some good exposure, you’ll start to get calls from prospective buyers. Invite them into your home, and make sure the place is clean! There are a few methods you can do this. The first is to invite each buyer one at a time to give the impression of a close, personal relationship. The other is to hold an event-like mass showing. Each have their pros and cons, so it’s up to you.
