If you have ever attempted to sell your home in Louisville you probably know that it can be both an exciting and stressful venture. Under the best circumstances your home may fly off the market leaving you with the cash you were after and an easy transition into your next investment; but under poor circumstances you may be left with your home on the market for months or even years costing you money and headache.
As of today, the average amount of time a property sits on the market in the Louisville Kentucky area is 64 days however this number varies widely from home to home. 64 days isn’t a terribly long time compared to the rest of the country but it can still feel like a lifetime If you have found yourself in a position in which you need to sell your home fast such as: a foreclosure, probate, or any other pressing matter. At 2nd Wind Properties we understand how important selling home on a specific timeline can be, thats why we have put together a quick list of actionable steps you can take to speed up the process.
How to quickly sell your home.
1 Get Your Home On MLS
A multiple listing service (MLS) is a service used by a group of real estate brokers. They band together to create an MLS that allows each of them to see one another’s listings of properties for sale. MLS’s give the selling broker more exposure, and they provide the broker representing the buyer with more options.
2 Consider a Realtor
Realtors specialize in the sale and purchase of properties on behalf of their clients. Utilizing a realtor can drastically decrease sale time as they can use their network of buyers and resources in addition to getting your property listed on MLS. Realtors of course come with fees but many sellers find the work they do to be invaluable.
3 Signage
No brainier right? Still, putting up a for sale sign in the front yard is one of the most powerful ways of letting potential buyers know your home is on the market.
4 Word of Mouth
Utilize your marketing channels: social media, neighborhood association, friends, church etc. Chances are there is someone in your network who is interested in buying or knows someone who may be interested.
