There are numerous reasons you might be looking to sell your home. Perhaps you are simply looking to relocate to a new area. Maybe you want to go traveling and no longer need a permanent residence. Or you might just be moving in with your partner. But selling a home can be an arduous and time consuming process. Luckily for you I have spent years working as a real estate agent. So today I will be walking you through the steps to selling your home quickly.

Nevada is one of the most popular states in America. Primarily because of Las Vegas. But the state has a lot more going for it too. Amazingly beautiful national parks. Beautiful cities. And ample job opportunities in a huge number of sectors. Since I am from Nevada myself I will be using Nevagada as my primary example state today. But, the tips here can generally be applied to selling a home in any state.

Finding The Right Agent

I can tell you from experience that not all real estate agents are made the same. Unlike a lot of other jobs, being a successful real estate agent requires a high level of confidence and charisma paired with the ability to close a deal. And the sad truth is a lot of agents are lacking in these areas.

So you need to spend a good amount of time finding the right agent. The first step will be to speak to anyone you know who has also sold a property in your area. Ask them which agent they went with and if they would use them again. Your friends will give you the most unbiased opinion you will ever get on the quality of an agent.

Then, look at client testimonials for specific agents. See how many they have and how genuine the reviews sound. Lastly, you will want to meet with a few different agents in person. See if they are the right fit for you. Tell them you are looking to sell your home quickly and see how confident they feel about pulling that off.

Selling For Cash

If you don’t like the idea of going through all the rigmarole of using a real estate agent then you might consider selling your home for cash. In recent years we have seen a number of companies pop up that will buy almost any property for cash. Making selling your Nevada home easier than ever before.

These websites do have some caveats attached though. Generally speaking you will get less money than if you sold your property through the traditional channels. But you won’t have to pay broker fees or deal with the long, complicated legal process of selling your home to someone else. And, these companies will happily buy homes that need a lot of work done to them. Meaning you don’t need to fix any outstanding issues before selling.

Prepare Your Home

When selling your home you will be putting it on display for potential clients. In both a practical and aesthetic sense. If you want to ensure you sell your home quickly you need to make sure your house is fully prepared.

Let us focus on the practical aspects first. When potential buyers look at a home they want to know if everything is in working order. Everything from the electrical writing of the house to the state of the roof. Are there leaks? Structural issues? Complications with signals in the area? All of these issues can deter someone from making an offer.

You should get a professional contractor to give the house a complete appraisal. They will quickly find any outstanding issues and can recommend the best approach to fixing them. This might cost you a bit of money but it will be worth it to ensure a smooth and quick sale.

You have two choices when selling your home. You can sell it furnished or unfurnished. But, even if you are selling it unfurnished, you need to ensure your house is looking its absolute best for the viewings. Because you want to give potential buyers a clear idea of what the property can look like for them. Give the home a complete deep clean. Spruce it up with some new wall decorations and cushions. Fill any empty spaces with furniture or house plants. And make sure the rooms flow. A severely cramped house will deter any buyers.
