5 Tips to Help You Sell Your Wellesley Home Faster

While home sales are doing very well in this area, there are things you can do to increase your chances of finding a buyer faster. When you list your Wellesley home for sale, it is important to be a proactive home seller and look for ways you can help the process move more quickly. These five tips can help you make your home more attractive to buyers and start getting offers, so you can sell your home quickly.

1. Clean House and Increase Curb Appeal

Organize your home and get rid of clutter throughout the rooms, cupboards and storage areas. Making the inside of your home feel clean can help make it more attractive to potential buyers. If you are able to, move things you don't use on a regular basis to another location, like a storage unit, to help open up some space in your home.

The outside of your home is one of the first things people see when they look at your house. Increase the curb appeal by pulling weeds, adding to the landscaping and touching up the paint and outdoor fixtures on your home.

2. Work with an Experienced Agent

There are some things you will need an expert's help with. An experienced agent can help you sell your home faster. He or she will help you list your home in different publications as well as on websites and can show your home to buyers who would be interested in your home. Agents know how to help you sell your home, so working with one will be very beneficial.

3. Have Your Home Inspected

Getting a home inspection on the home you are selling, not just the one you are interested in buying, is extremely important. An inspection can help you understand how to get your home in the best shape possible. It will also put potential buyers at ease and speed up the actual selling process.

4. Stage Your Home

Decorating, adding accents and rearranging furniture in ways that are appealing to buyers can help you get more offers faster. When you stage your home you are making it possible for homebuyers to envision themselves living there. You can stage your home yourself or you can work with a professional who can help you set up the rooms in your home in aesthetically appealing ways.

5. Be Open to Negotiation 

When it comes time to accept offers, be open to some negotiation. While you should get what your home is worth, a buyer may ask you to adjust your price to compensate for needed repairs. You may want to consider offering to help pay for closing costs or even including some furniture in the sell. These perks can help you make a sell faster. 

Making the home appealing, working with an agent, having the home inspected and being open to negotiation are all factors that influence the rate at which homes sell. If you are interested in putting your home on the Wellesley real estate market, contact Christine Norcross at 781-929-4994.
