Right now it's critical to make sure you have the 3 secret ingredients to selling a home.

‍

#1) Competitive Price - make sure that you review the listing price with your agent right before you list the home for sale. Many times, sellers meet with a real estate broker and decide a list price weeks or even months before going on the market. That could mean you are behind before you even start. You want to review the most recent sales with your real estate broker the morning that you are going on the market.

‍

#2) Condition must be tip top - make sure you are fixing any inspection items, cleaning the carpets and flooring and applying fresh paint if needed. Today's home buyers are passing on the homes that need work and that can be frustrating if you want your home sold fast.

‍

#3) Offer extras and incentives - offer a buyer's credit to help with paying closing costs or buyer agent commissions. You can also include a home warranty or pre-paid homeowner dues. Feel free to get creative, it will signal to the buyer that you are motivated and ready to make a deal which will entice them to make an offer.
