need tips to sell a house quick

[Keith Sharrah]

I am a rehabber who tries to stay in the first time home buyers price range around 99,000 to 145,000 sell price. I came across a property I could not resist. It is a 3000 sqft house on a canal that leads out to an open lake. I paid 132,500 for the house and put around 62,000 into it. This house is also out of town a little. The house is finished and I would like some tips to get a fast sell. The house looks good and I am working with an agent who I have been very successful with in the past. What are some tips to get people to look at the house.
Price at 289,900 the house will appraise for 330++ so i believe it is priced right

Hey Keith,

Sounds like a good deal. If it were me I would do these 7 things:

1. See if your agent can do an email blast flier to all the agents in the area.

2. Offer a hefty bonus to the selling agent, say $2K to $3K or so.

3. Make sure the place is staged, not fully just the kitchen, bathrooms and art work on the walls. (a must)

4. Make sure your agent puts it all over the internet.

5. Have an open house the first weekend and have your agent do a broker preview.

6. Call all the agents within 1-3 mile radius letting them know about the property & bonus.

7. Make sure the place is spotless, buyers want above average properties if they're going to buy retail if not they go after bank owned stuff all the way.

Good luck,

Post your results when you sell it next week :)

Cheers,

Sean
