Selling a Home Quickly in Gainesville VA

Selling your home fast is always a stressful proposition.  Most often you’ll look to sell quickly because there is a new home purchase on the line.  When you have to sell in order to buy, things can get crazy quickly!

In today’s market, we’re seeing an increase in “move up” buyers.  That is, homeowners who don’t need to move, but are doing so to move up to a larger or more desirable home.  This is happening largely because interest rates are still very low and home prices have not yet fully rebounded.  This creates the perfect scenario for move up buyers, especially those with sizable equity in their existing home.

There are many things you can do to mitigate the stress of selling a home quickly.

The first opportunity is found in using an agent with a solid guarantee sale program.  For example, Linton Hall, Realtors has a program where we guarantee that you’ll sell your existing home before taking possession of your new home.  We even have programs to loan down payment money based on equity in the existing property.  There are all kinds of creative ways to accommodate this fast sell need.

There are also some things you can do to your property that will facilitate a quick sale.

Here are just a few things you can do:

– New Paint – especially in the kitchen
– New kitchen appliances
– De-clutter the interior
– Offer some closing cost reimbursement
– Paint or replace switch plates
– Improve curb appeal

Obviously the better your home looks the faster it will sell.

The first step, however is calling a great agent for help.  Your listing agent is the most important decision you’ll make.
