Other than going to a print shop and sticking "House For Sale" signs within a mile radius of your home, there are plenty of ways to help you sell your home quick. Whether you're leaving for a new opportunity, or closing a chapter in life, you know that what you need to do is get out of that home immediately. And you definitely don't want to risk the home not selling, especially if you will be leaving the area.
Display The Best Items
If you have to sell a house fast, then no doubt there are a lot of other pressing matters you have to take care of. You probably have moving boxes already in the living room, and are packing away memorabilia from your time there. You still need to stage your home and avoid any clutter. Use this challenge to your advantage. With a lot of your stuff gone, you can be more conscientious of how you actually design your home. So don't put away the nice stuff yet - an empty house isn't something you want, either.
Take Stunning Photos
This may be easier to achieve than you think. First of all, wide-angle lenses are the best for capturing rooms and making them look gorgeous. If you look at local listings, you will notice that almost all of the rooms were shot with wide angle lenses. If you don't have a professional camera or the newer smartphones that come with multiple lenses, you can buy one online for $20-$30 that snaps onto your smartphone. Stand in the entryway of each room and begin taking photos.
Lighting is extremely important. Photographers know that the two best times of day to shoot pictures are just after sunrise and just before sunset. This is perfect for east or west-facing rooms. Open the windows and let as much light in as possible.
What you don't want to do is start getting too creative with your editing. Filters are great, and you can warm up or cool down an image if the picture you took doesn't match how the light in the room really looks. But you don't want to mislead the potential buyer, either. Photoshop Express is an easy tool you can use to quickly edit your images before posting them online, and is suitable to be used by all people, not just professionals.
Create A Virtual Tour of Your Home
If you're trying to sell your home fast then you need to make yourself available nights and weekends for showing your home. But that might not be enough. By creating a virtual tour of your home, you can put your home in front of the eyes of potential buyers who will decide to call you if they're already intrigued by what they've seen. You can either do this by creating a video slideshow using the pictures you took, adding a narration, and editing it all together on your computer. Or you can capture of video of each room as you walk through the house. If you have kids or roommates, then see if they would be willing to play the host in the video!
Using these ideas will help you with getting a cash offer on your home or selling it. Whichever you decide to do, remember that marketing your property can be fun, even if you're in a rush!
