How to Sell Your Home Faster



How to Sell Your Home Faster

Hey, guys! Welcome back to my video blog!

I get asked all the time ‘how can I sell my house faster?’ I have four major tips to help make your home one of the best competitors out there.

1.    Repair, renovate and remodel. Before you even list your home, get the necessary repairs. Today’s buyers are smart; they expect a certain quality for a certain price. Why turn off the best buyers when you can just get the repairs done first.
2.    'Declutter' and depersonalize. When buyers come in and look at your home they want to be able to imagine living in it. Take down the pictures and religious fixtures. I often bring in a stager, whom I pay for, to get the home looking great.
3.    Maintain a Neutral Color Palette. Color is very much a taste preference. While you might love your key lime pie colored room, the potential buyer may not. It’s just a coat of paint, but it can make a huge difference.
4.    Modern décor. If you have wallpaper, get rid of it! If you have light fixtures from the ‘70s, it’s time to stop being groovy. Present a modern décor.

These are four easy, but effective ways to get your home sold faster. About six months ago the market flipped and I completely revamped my marketing plan. My strategy is unlike any other realtor’s in the Toldeo area. I am ranked within the top 1,000 realtors nationwide. Give me call. I can sell your home fast and for top dollar!

FAQ’s from Viewers and Clients



Hey everyone! I’m taking a break from a real busy week to answer some questions I’ve had from clients and viewers.

How long will it take to sell my home?

I hear this all the time. The answer really depends. The average time on the market is 60-90 days depending on which suburb. It’s obviously dependent on price; the higher the price, the longer it sits on the market. We are selling homes very quickly because inventory is historically low. The question is also dependent on what you do to make your home look great.

Where do you think the market will be in 12 months?

I honestly don’t know. I had the chance to work on Wall Street and I didn’t take it. I would say this, though, there seems to be a lack of great new houses. There is a shortage of builders building. I don’t know when that will hit, but there will be a lot shortage.

Do Dave Ramsey and Glenn Beck support you?

Yes, they do. I have met Dave Ramsey and I look forward to meeting to Glenn Beck in the near future.

Where do you rank?
RE/MAX is number one in North America as far as sales volume. RE/MAX is number one in market sharing in Toledo; this means putting a RE/MAX sign in your yard has a positive effect on selling your home quickly and for top dollar.

Last year I sold more houses than anybody else in Toledo and the price ranges varied from low to high end homes!

Do you love your Volt?
Yes, I absolutely love it! I love driving by gas stations!

Can I borrow your truck?
Yes! It’s only been in two accidents. But, yes you can borrow it!

What’s next in our market?
I think we are going to see prices go up. Interest rates will also go up. Inventory is still a challenge.

If you need any help give me a call! Thanks for watching!
