Best ways to sell your property quickly

Create a marketing plan

Having a path to follow is essential for planning forward and anticipating the future. To create the best marketing strategy, consider the following steps:

Clarify your goals

A real estate marketing plan has well-defined goals. Not only do objectives differentiate you from the competition, but they are also what will resonate with customers. They serve as the foundation for everything you do.

Identify your target audience

The buyer's location, age, income, family size, interests, and hobbies will influence your target audience. Once you know who you are trying to attract, you are good to go.

Define what makes you different

What are you bringing to the table that nobody else does? Try to come up with something that no competition can develop.

Review the competition

Look to see what your competitors are doing, what strategies work for them, and which ones do not. This will help you determine which tactics and ideas to employ or avoid.

Make Your House Stand Out

Buyers will struggle to envision themselves in your home if it is disorganised. Depersonalise your home by decluttering, cleaning and repairing places that need fixing. Remove anything you don't use daily to free up space and make the property appear more spacious. The second step would be to remove any items that indicate that the house is still yours, such as personal photographs or clothing in the wardrobes. Repair any holes or cracks in the place and, if necessary, repaint. Thoroughly clean the property, from the walls to the windows, leaving no stone unturned. Then, reorganise the house, particularly the furnishings, to accommodate your buyer's preferences and allow light to flow into each room. If required, use lighting.

Market your listing

Use striking pictures

Photos evoke imagination, which is a powerful tool for attracting a qualified buyer. Spend your money on excellent photos, preferably from a real estate agent, to showcase the best features of your listing.

Floor plan

A floor plan is, in essence, a bird's-eye view of a property. It displays the property's layout, including the number of rooms and their locations, as well as the size of each room. This lets prospective buyers imagine the property's flow and how their furniture might fit.

Home stage your listing

Staging a property can help make a sale faster and potentially increase the property's perceived value. If you have an eye for interior design and already own high-quality furniture and décor, you may be able to stage your home yourself. However, hiring a professional home stager may be worthwhile if you are not a born designer.

Know your magic words

Words like spacious, beautiful, newly renovated, air conditioning, city views, luxurious and low maintenance would entice any qualified buyer. Knowing how and when to employ these words in your listing strategically attracts prospective buyers.

Hire a real estate agent

Compare local real estate agents' performance in terms of their likelihood of meeting the asking price, their average success rate, and the speed with which they make sales. A skilled real estate agent comes up with innovative marketing ideas and possesses great problem-solving abilities that expedite the home's sale.
