How to Sell Your Home Fast

The real estate market is slow. Even desirable homes – homes that receive offers within days of being placed on market – can still take weeks of time and preparation, from fixing up the home so that it’s ready to sell, finding an agent, accepting offers, waiting for bank approval, and on and on.

It can take months, sometimes even years to complete the process of selling a property (not to mention a significant financial investment). For those that are trying to get the absolute most from their home, that time may be worthwhile. But others are faced with a challenge – they need to sell their home fast, and they need to do it in the most reliable way possible.

Why Do Some Homeowners Have to Sell Quickly?

Almost everyone that puts their home up for sale want to sell their home fast. But others genuinely have to find a way to make sure their home is sold as soon as possible, for reasons that include, but are not limited to:

  • Their home is near foreclosure.
  • They have lost their job.
  • They inherited the home and cannot stay to sell it or make the payments.
  • They need critical repairs they cannot afford.
  • They are relocating very soon.

These are some of the many situations that have homeowners looking to sell their home as fast as possible.

Strategies to Sell a Home Quickly

There are many different techniques you can use to try to sell your home as fast as possible, although some do require a lot of work on your end. Consider the following:

  • Contact Local Agents Directly – You can try contacting local real estate agents directly, placing your home at a very competitive price, and seeing if any of them can find you interest. It’s tough to do, but some agents may have a buyer that has been desperate for a home waiting in the wings.
  • Stage the Home – The cleaner and readier the home looks to live in right away, the faster it will sell. Although it may be tough to sell any property that requires a lot of cleaning and repairs, homes that are ready or near-ready can sell faster on the market.
  • Sell to Cash Investors – The fastest way to sell your home is to find cash home buyers like Homestead Group here in the Sacramento, Placer, and El Dorado County areas. We buy homes in 10 days or less, and we’re happy to purchase homes as-is, meaning you don’t have to fix anything up.

There are few methods of selling a home as fast as a cash investor, especially since Homestead Group and other home buyers are more than happy to pay for all necessary repairs and cleanings. You can still consider testing the market, but those that need to sell their home as fast as possible often find that cash investors are the best choice.
