Tweaking a few basic components can make the difference between a quick home sale and a long, frustrating ordeal. Here are 5 tips from our experts.

Five Ways to Speed Up The Sale of Your Home

• 1. Price it right from the start. Use a real estate tool known as Absorption Rate along with a well thought out Comparative Market Analysis to set the right price. A price at the lower end of your property’s realistic price range will make it more attractive to buyers.  The HomeTeam will help.
   
• 2. Get your house market-ready  before you begin showing it. Resist the urge to market the home before you have completed all needed repairs and staged the home to show properly. Today's buyers want homes that are move-in ready.
   
• 3. Try to flexible about showings. We know it's frustrating to have a house ready to show on the spur of the moment, but the more often your home is seen, the more likely you’ll find a buyer.
   
• 4. Be ready for the offers. Do your homework in advance. Know how much you need to realize from the sale of your home.
   
• 5. Don’t refuse to lower your price, especially in a "buyers' market". If your home has been on the market for more than 30 days without an offer it's probably time to consider a reduction in your asking price. Because you don't 'have' to sell does not make your home is worth more. If you don't 'want' to sell - then you shouldn't be in market.
