I want to sell my house - so where do I start? Well let's get into this topic so

you can sell your house as quickly as possible.

So I want to sell my house - where do I start? Perhaps a new addition to the family, you need another

room, maybe the kids have gone off to university and it's time to begin to

downsize. Well as these changes have come about in your life and you're

considering the next step, the first step you need to take is to make sure you get

a good realtor to help you in this process. There are a number of ways you

can go about this. One way is you can ask a friend or a family member that has

dealt with a realtor recently and go with a referral like this, another way is

just to call a few of them and interview them and just see if there's a good

connection between you all, but whatever you decide and however you go about this

process, it is important that the realtor you find is a realtor who can

aggressively market your home. Now you can put it on an MLS which is a multi

listing service, your Realtor will help you do that, that's not a problem, we will

all do that and just wait for the right kind of traffic to come across this and

there you go, you'll find somebody that may be willing to put down what you want

or enter into negotiation for that house that you're selling. But if you find a

realtor who does more than this, a realtor who aggressively markets the

house with various forms of media, that house is going to sell, and it's going to be

at the top of the pile and getting more traffic than homes that are just listed

and using the old school method just waiting for traffic to go by and

hopefully you'll find somebody who will match up with the property well. So

choose wisely, make sure that you have a realtor who can do good marketing for

your home. So once you find your realtor it's important to spend some time to

speak to your realtor about your home and how you can better present that home.

You know today many people watch real estate programs on HGTV and various

other stations and of course their expectations as a result are very very

high. Also many go to new builds and in those

new build sites they have model homes and these homes are done immaculately so

obviously their expectations are very very high. But if you take the time to

just walk through your home with your realtor, this can be very helpful, if you

do an assessment room by room you'll know exactly what to take care of and

this doesn't necessarily mean that you'll have to break the bank in order

to do expensive remodeling or expensive staging of your home. Just taking a

little bit of time to take care of this in a good way with your realtor can make

all the world of difference and get that home sold right away! In the description

to this video you'll find a link to our PDF on 'How to Prepare Your Home for a

Successful Sale', this will really help you with this step. Remember, it's very

difficult to change a first impression. One of the most important things to get

right is the pricing. Pricing your home right will determine whether or not it

is sold quickly or it sits on the market. The pricing of your home must reflect

the true market value. You know today many people have access

to a lot of applications that help them see what's on the market in a particular

area, to know the homes that are there and what they're being sold for, so it's

important that you do a little homework yourself, get informed of the market area

where your home is located, find out how much the homes are being sold for in

that area, but most importantly here is where you're agent, your

Realtor is so important. You know your Realtor is very informed of the market

area, I mean this is what they do for a living day to day, they will be able to

get the home priced right. That price will reflect the true market value of

the home and this will position the home for a quick sale. If your home is sitting

way too long on the market, what's going to happen is that a prospective buyer is

going to start to think, hey what's wrong with this house, why isn't it selling

and these questions are going to really cause traffic to diminish. Research shows

that between the third and sixth week of the marketing process that's when the most

potential buyers are attracted, so it is important that, first your home has the

right pricing and second that there is good aggressive marketing behind it. You

want to maximize traffic that's going to view your home, draw them in to visit

the home and put an offer on that home. As I mentioned earlier, the visual

presentation of your home is very very important. You know first impressions are

very very hard to undo so you always want to create the best possible first

impression. For this reason I don't recommend that you do mobile phone

pictures. Get a realtor who is going to do professional quality pictures. You

know today on search engines when people are looking at multi listing services

and they're viewing the pictures, usually when a picture is presented if it's of

poor quality they're probably only going to view

the first few pictures and they're gonna move on to the next property, and this is

something you don't want to happen to your property. Getting good quality

pictures will keep them glued to that screen and they can really consider your

house the way it should be considered, and actually today even video production

is a very important part of the marketing process, so if your realtor is

able to produce a video for you, this is ideal. You know this will really maximize

the amount of eyes that will be looking at your property and considering it for

the next purchase. When it comes to marketing your home, gone are the old

days of sitting in the backseat of your real estate agents car or following

along behind and looking at multi homes. Today the Internet has changed the whole

experience for good. Today people are on multi listing services, they are also

watching videos that are aggressively being marketed through social media, so

it is important that you're estate agent, your Realtor

is up-to-date with all the modern modes of marketing, so make sure you make this

one of your criteria in choosing your estate agent. That way the right kind of

marketing will be put forth and you'll have maximum exposure of your home and

really entice those buyers to come and put an offer on your home and get it

sold quickly. If you found this video helpful, please subscribe, we'd love to
