In our last installment we looked at three things that you can do to sell your home quickly without using an agent. In this installment we will continue to explore how to make a quick sale of your home.

• Don’t Oversell Your House. People don’t want to talk to a slick tongued sales person. Be yourself and talk to people in a relaxed and genuine way. They will appreciate your honesty and openness and be more apt to trust you.

• Don’t Talk Yourself Out Of A Sale. When you have a potential buyer in your home be sure not to talk too much to them. Give them basic details about your home and the features that it has but don’t go into detail about how your nephew threw up all over the carpet in the living room or how your last dog liked to mark his territory in your bedroom closet. Also don’t answer the phone while you are giving potential buyers a tour of your home. It is rude. Give your buyers your full attention. Answer any questions they have in a clear and concise way. Be relaxed and natural and it will go a long way towards impressing any potential buyer.

• Give Them Something To Look At. Make up a singe page flyer to present to any potential buyers when they come to look at your home. This flyer should include the address and price of the home as well as details such as lot size, number of bedrooms, the size of the home, number of bathrooms and anything else that is pertinent. This paper should also include contact information and, if possible, a picture of the home. Many times buyers may look at several homes in one day or over the course of their house hunt. You want to make sure that they have something with them about your property to help them remember it.

If you want to sell your home and come out with your sanity intact when it is all over you will want to consider these tips for selling your home fast.

• Answer The Phone. If you are going to go through the trouble of advertising your home for sale and providing a phone number then you need to make sure that you are available to answer that phone. No one will buy your home if they can’t get a hold of you to inquire about it and set up a time to see the home. Also if you provide an email address be sure to check your mailbox often and answer any inquiries in a timely manner. Maintaining communication with potential buyers is very important.

• Sell Your House On Appearance. It has been said that you never get a second chance to make a first impression. This is especially true with real estate. Your potential buyer will form an opinion of your home and decide if they want to buy it within the first three minutes of setting foot on the property. So make sure that you do everything possible to make a good first impression. Be sure to have the property looking neat, clean and well looked after.

• Have a building inspection done as well as a pest inspection done. This will give potential buyers a sense of peace about your property and ease any worries or concerns that they have.

In the next installment we will continue to look at the top ways to sell your home on your own, without using a real estate agent.
