Generating Multiple Offers

Watch on your mobile device >>

I’ll get right down to it. You’re selling your home and you want it sell well. By “sell well” I mean that you want it to sell quickly and at the same time you want as much money as possible for it. Sound impossible? Well, think again.

The truth is that with the right strategies in place, even in today’s market – no, especially in today’s market – homeowners are not only selling their home quickly but they are getting multiple offers on the property and driving up prices as a result.

The three things you need to do to get these amazing results are outlined right here:

Hire a Professional Stager

As unnecessary as it may seem, take it from me, a convert from at first believing that staging was just cosmetic fluff – a professional stager, certified interior designers know their stuff. They know exactly how to use colors and fabrics and textures to make your home look gorgeous and jump out at prospective buyers. They consider things like lighting and furniture placement to showcase your property in the best possible way so that your home appeals to them most. Trust me – it works and it works like magic.

Refrain From Using Homemade Pictures

This one always gets me because you would think that every seller would make sure their home is pictured to absolute perfection. But in reality, a lot of them don’t. Case in point, the previous agent from one of the homes my team and I sold last week. That agent actually walked into the home with his iPhone and snapped up photographs using that little device’s camera function. What blows me away is that even knowing that 90% or more buyers begin their search online the quality of some pictures we see of homes on the market is just not up to par. It is critical to hire a professional photographer with the right equipment and one that is experienced enough to recognize the right angles to depict your home in its best light – literally.

Have Realistic Expectations About Price

Finally, and very importantly, it comes down to price. Sure you can list the home for anything you want. But if you want to be truly competitive, you will have to sit down and evaluate what everyone else is buying and selling homes for. Comparable Analysis reports are just that – a comparative look at what other homes are selling for in the area. And if you don’t list your home within a range that the market dictates, it simply will not sell. Think of it this way: if buyers have other homes that are just like yours, around the corner and selling for a lot less, why would they consider your home? It is absolutely vital to price your home right and once it is priced right, you will generate a lot of traffic, spike buyers’ interest and even land multiple offers. Take those multiple offers, create a bidding war and what do you end up with? You end up with top dollar for your home.
