Step 1 - Make your home stand out:
While it may seem unnecessary higher quality photos have been proven to sell homes 32% faster and for higher price. To put it simply buyers will not visit your property if the photos do not keep them interested
80% of buyers use a loan to purchase their home. Consider offering incentives like Interest rate buy downs or offering to pay some closing costs.
Step 2 - Share Your Home Everywhere:
It is recommended to create a single landing page to to share. This will keep all your buyers coming to the same location. Facebook Marketplace offers a premade option.
Start with taking a weekend stroll through your neighborhood if you're able and letting all your neighbors know your home is for sale. They may have family moving and could get you a quick offer!
Be very diligent in responding to all people inquiring, and understand you will be getting MANY calls on your phone during this time
Optional: Purchase time on the MLS Without having to pay Realtor commission. See options here: "Flat Fee Listing"
