When you’re working long hours during your residency program, the last thing you want to do is prepare your home to sell. Between staging your home, having professional photos taken, holding open houses, scheduling showings, and more, selling your home is basically a second full-time job. If you want to sell your property quickly, here are three things to keep in mind.
1. Make sure your home has desirable features.
Homes that sell quickly have many desirable features. In today’s market, buyers generally want move in-ready, turn-key homes. The more bells and whistles, the better. If your home doesn’t have a lot of glam, don’t worry. Staging can make an enormous difference, and a great real estate agent will be able to get you in touch with a talented staging professional.
2. Focus on kitchens and baths.
Kitchens and baths sell a home. If your kitchen or bathroom is outdated or tired, consider small upgrades that will pack a punch. For a fresh and clean look, paint the cabinets white. Consider new countertops, like quartz or granite. And replace old, stained faucets with shiny new ones. These small changes can reap incredible benefits.
3. Flaunt what you’ve got.
Even if you don’t have time for renovations, you might already have some items that buyers want. For example, subway tiles in the kitchen or bathroom are in. Barn doors are highly sought after. And craftsman features always help homes sell faster. If you have any of these features, flaunt them!
