So, if you like the sound of this scenario, you might wonder: What sells a house quickly? Follow our tips below to find out and ensure successful selling!
  • Find out your home's value
  • Assess its condition
  • Make a to-do list
  • Get your paperwork in order
  • Declutter and Depersonalize
  • Improve the lighting
  • Sort the smells out
  • Give the outside some love
  • Deep clean
Know the value of your home
If you live in an area where homes are more or less similar, it would be good to search for homes for sale on the Internet to get an overall idea of how much you could price it. 
On the other hand, if you're serious about selling your home and wish to do it quickly, the best option would be to get an accurate assessment of your home's market value. Then, your chosen realtor can provide an approximate price after doing a Comparative Market Analysis.
Evaluate its condition
This step is vital to be aware of, as you might love your home exactly how it is. However, if you wish to put it on the housing market, it's important to look at it through potential buyers' eyes. 
Here are some features buyers are looking for in a house you can ask yourself questions about:
  • Is there enough light?
  • Is it tidy or cluttered?
  • Are the wall colors neutral?
  • Is there a flow in the house?
  • Is it landscaped neatly? And so on.
If you have difficulties parting the sentimental part from the business one, you can ask your realtor for suggestions. 
Create a to-do list to help you prepare for a quick home sale
Once you evaluate your home and talk to your real estate agent, it's time to come up with a checklist to keep by during the process. As you wish to prepare for a quick home sale, major repairs (if not necessary) shouldn't be on it.
On the contrary, things like leaking faucets, squeaking door knobs, and broken light bulbs should be included. You'll see later in the text which tasks you'll need to pay special attention to. 
Sort the paperwork out
Before completing your to-do list, it's essential to have all the paperwork sorted. With the help of your realtor, you'll know which documents to prepare. Additionally, your potential buyers will appreciate that you have everything in order, including your maintenance and service records, warranties, neighborhood utilities, public service numbers, and other necessary documentation. 
Declutter & depersonalize
Now, time to see what practical things you can do to improve your home's chances of selling quickly. 
A minimalistic approach lessens distraction. Furthermore, having your rooms clutter-free will enable the customers to focus on the space rather than your possessions. The key things to get rid of, especially during the viewing, are moving the day-to-day clutter from worktops, tables, shelves, and a lot of coats and shoes in the entryway. 
Similarly, depersonalizing a home for sale is crucial if you wish to sell it fast. The whole point of home showings is for potential customers to be able to imagine themselves living in it. So, you'd probably need to repaint your accent wall in neutral colors if you wish your buyers to dream a little bit during the home showings.
Give the lighting a special focus
Any photographer you ask will tell you lighting is crucial in creating the right scenario and atmosphere and getting the best shots. Additionally, rooms filled with light seem more welcoming, breathable, and larger. On the contrary, dark and dim rooms seem less inviting and not airy enough. So, make sure there's enough lighting during your home showings.
Ensure there are no bad odors
Eliminating some lingering odors should be a priority thing to take care of. Some things that can cause strange smells are pet beds, litter boxes, trash cans, toilets, carpets, and similar items.
It would help if you weren't shy about this aspect of your home about to be sold. It can be a good idea to call a friend to detect any strange odors you might not feel as you got used to them.
Create focal points
Creating focal, nice-to-look-at points in your room can improve the odds of preparing your home for a fast sale. For instance, if you have an interesting fireplace spot, make it an eye-catcher with a piece of artwork above. Or, if you have a beautiful window, make it a cozy, accessible reading nook. 
Deep clean
Ultimately, the last thing on your list you cannot afford to miss is deep cleaning your already decluttered, freshly painted, and prepared-for-showings rooms. Clean homes are easy to sell. However, we mean spotless homes. So, clean everything thoroughly, especially the more difficult places to reach. 
If you're short on time, you could hire a professional cleaning agency to ensure this job is professionally done. 
Final thoughts on how to prepare for a quick home sale
Now that you know what it takes to prepare for a quick home sale make sure you hire the right people to be by your side and get going. Selling a home quickly is entirely possible. It just requires a little bit more planning. Good luck!
