How do I sell my home in this market?

This is the question that sellers have been asking for years.

First, you need to figure out what your goal is. Most sellers have one of two goals:

1. Sell Fast

2. Sell for as much as I get in this market

You are probably saying to yourself, my goal is both! I want it all! Most sellers want to have their cake and it too, as the saying goes. However, in order to get what you want, you have to be willing to do the ground work in order to achieve both of these goals.

You have to be able to put yourself in a buyers shoes. When you bought, what stood out to you? What was it that you didn't like? Buyers right now want a "deal" so if you can't give them that, then you have to give them the other thing they really want, a home they love.

One of the most effective, but seldom used is staging your home. Have you ever walked in to a home where it seems so well don, then you could just already see yourself moving in there? That's what staging does. It makes buyers start to move in to your home when walking in. It also sells your home 3 times faster than a home that isn't staged. Ultimately, it helps your home sell for more money.

Currently, Bridge Coast Realty has a promotion going on: LIST WITH ME AND I'LL STAGE YOUR HOME FOR FREE. Call or email today to see if your home qualifies and to get more details.
