Selling a home in Union County can be a long, arduous process, or it can be quick and easy – it all depends on 3 factors:
- Condition. Is your home updated? Is it clean and uncluttered? Is it convenient for agents to show?
- Pricing. Is your home priced competitively? Are you attracting buyers in the price range that your home is actually valued?
- Marketing. Does your listing agent have an aggressive marketing campaign that includes print and digital marketing?
If you want to sell your home quickly, you need to focus your energy on competing with the other houses in your town.
> First, be sure that your house shows well. If you need to clean it, remove clutter, or improve curb appeal, do it now!
> Second, confirm with your Realtor that the house is priced competitively. Ask your Realtor to do a Comparative Market Analysis, especially if your house has been on the market for a long time.
> Third, Evaluate the marketing system that your Realtor has been using. When you do a web search of homes for sale in your town, does your house appear? Has your Realtor held any open houses?
