How to Speed up the Selling Process

Written by Josie

Selling your home can be time-consuming. From home surveys to viewings, it can seem like a never-ending process. There are a number of things you can do to speed up the selling process that doesn’t include reducing your final asking price. Read on to find out how you can sell your home in less time and for more money. 

Find the Right Estate Agent 

The right estate agent can sell your home in less time and for the best price. With decades worth of knowledge and experience of the local and national property market, they can disclose your home to the right buyer and speed up the selling process. An estate agent can also manage negotiations between the buyer and the seller. This can guarantee the best possible asking price in a fraction of the time of an inexperienced estate agent. A multi or joint agency may also increase your chances of selling your home quickly. With double the knowledge and experience, your property will be exposed to a larger pool of potential applicants. An estate agent may also be able to tap into their network of clients to locate the perfect buyer for your property.

Consider a Cash Buyer 

Cash buyers or we buy any house companies, such as British Home Buyers, can streamline the entire selling process by taking your property off your hands. These companies are often in a position to purchase your home for the full asking price in cash. If you are considering selling your home via a cash buyer, you must familiarise yourself with the various pros and cons. The quick sale industry is rife with scammers and those looking to make a quick buck. By selling through a reputable buyer, you can offload your home for the best price and in less time. 

Ensure your Home is Sale-ready 

By ensuring your home is in the best possible position to sell, you can guarantee a faster closing. By helping potential buyers envision themselves living in your home, they are more likely to submit an offer. To do so, you must finish any incomplete DIY projects and de-clutter each room. Homes that contain the least amount of personal possessions can help potential buyers visualize the space filled with their own belongings. It’s worth remembering that if you’re intending on using Crawford Home Buyers (or those similar elsewhere more relevant) you’ll likely be able to sell the house as is without much impact on the price, so if your list of jobs to do feels endless, you can forget about some of these and reduce the stresses and costs of fixing up the property. 

Consider an auction 

Property auctions are another great way to guarantee a quick sale., as well as generate interest and commence the bidding process. Homes with slight structural or electrical damage are also more likely to sell at auctions so, if this sounds like your property, it might be a wise move to consider selling at auction as opposed to a method like selling through an estate agent. A large percentage of auction participants are on the hunt for their first home at a reduced price or a fixer-upper to renovate and eventually flip.  Auctions also eliminate the need for open houses or viewings which can be time-consuming and end up delaying the entire selling process. 

Selling your home can take time. By taking steps to speed up the process, you can sell your home quickly and for a great price.
