Six effective tips to sell your house fast

Different ways that you can create curb appeal are as follows: clear paths and walkways; trim overgrown tree branches, hedges, and shrubs; clean doorknobs and windows; plant flowers; paint the front door; sweep away cobwebs and debris, especially in and around the front porch; and replace broken mailboxes or lights.

Choose a selling strategy

There are typically two conventional selling strategies to consider when you are deciding how to list your property. The first is called for sale by owner, or FSBO, and the second is using a real estate agent. There are, however, alternatives. Here the different selling strategies you can choose from.

Sell FSBO. If you go with FSBO, you save on the commission (usually 3% for your own agent, though you still need to pay 3% to the buyer’s agent). On the other hand, however, you will have to be able to negotiate like a professional on escrow timelines, as well as juggle paperwork and consult an attorney to ensure everything is filled out properly.

Hire an agent. If you go with an agent, they will have the expertise to sell your property quickly, as well as streamline negotiations, signing and closing, and contract prep work. Going this route will also mean that you must pay that added 3% commission.

Sell to a developer. Selling to a developer is generally only an option if your property is on a large lot or is a teardown.
