Sold my home in 2 days
« on: May 03, 2014, 12:40:13 PM »
Working with a real estate agent, I did a few things to sell my paid-off condo in 2 days.

1) Timed the listing to post on a Friday before a weekend with great weather

2) Priced it right from the state

3) Cleaned it thoroughly and removed pretty much all of the character

4) Sent my dog to a boarder and removed all signs of an animal

5) Told the concierge so he would be on his A-game when people walked through


I was very fortunate to get an all-cash offer. My real estate agent said more than half of the offers she has been getting recently have been all-cash.

The most important factor I believe was a competitive price.

4 days is amazing!!

The improving market helps things, but I'd like to think that all of the Google searches I did on "How to stage your home to sell quickly" made some sort of an impact!
