Make Your Home Stand Out

  Recently, people have been contacting me about how to sell their home fast. Now, I tell my clients that there are different ways that this can be done.

1. Selling your home and getting the full listing price
2. Selling your home without any labor by taking a loss or short sale (if you are underwater on your mortgage).
3. Selling your home fast at a discounted price

     With these ways there are different things that comes along with it. To get the full listing price of your home you want to make your home stand out by having things in the property that are eye catching. For example, I recently took a client to see a home that had staged furniture in it (it gives the buyer an idea of what the home with look like). It also had new appliances, granite counters, and a 2nd full bath. Now keep in mind, this property was small (about 1,100 feet) but, she did not care because the decorations and features were so overwhelming. 

You also can sell your home by not doing anything but, understand you may not get your full asking price. Expect to get less then the value of the property is. If you are trying to sell because you are underwater on your mortgage (behind payments) you can short sale the property and get the bank to take a loss (an effect is that you may not be able to buy another home for 3 years).

Lastly, you can sell your home fast at a discounted price by getting cash for your home. The different situations where people find this most helpful is when they need to liquidate fast because of divorce, behind on bills, bad landlord experience, inherited property, or just want to get rid of the property.

   If any of these apply to you, I can help. Here is a great article to refer to as well:

Advantages to a Homeowners Association

When belonging to a homeowners' association, some will say it creates exclusivity in a community, which can translate into higher home values. Everyone in that community as to abide by certain (which are not over the top rules) but, it keep everyone in line about what is expected when you are living in that neighborhood. I see it like this: If you not able to abide by rules then, there is a chance I am avoiding a bad neighbor.
