So, you want to sell your house and you want to do it no matter how bad the market is.
Welcome to the club.
You and about a million other folks who are heading into foreclosure or worse...
a nervous breakdown.
Think realtors are happy right now? Think again.
This is NOT the time to be trying to sell a house and get anywhere near what it's worth...
unless you really know what you're doing.
This article will give you some common sense advice to help you sell your home...
even during the worst times.
Okay, so what's the secret? Why is it that there ARE people out there who are actually selling their homes and getting a decent price for them? Well, they figured out the hard way that you can't approach a buyers market (which is where we are now) like a sellers market.
Something has to give.
That doesn't mean you have to give away the store, but you have to realize that the buyer is in the driver's seat.
Having said that, there are ways to turn the tables.
One of those ways is to put on a happy face.
No, I'm not talking about the hit song from Bye Bye Birdie.
I'm talking about faking it.
What I mean by that is this.
When you show your home to a prospective buyer, you can't let them see you sweat.
You have to show confidence.
You have to make them believe that your house is going to be sold any day now and that they have to jump on this fast.
This process actually starts with the ad that you place for your house.
You have to get away from the doom and gloom ads.
You know the ones I'm talking about.
"Heading for foreclosure.
Must sell at any price!" You might as well just hand the keys over to the prospect with a thank you note for kicking you in the backside.
These ads are not going to give you the advantage, so stop posting them.
Remember, be positive.
I've been fortunate enough to run across a great book on selling your home in a buyers market.
I've reviewed it below.
You can check out that review as well as other articles that I've written on the subject.
I know it's not the best time to be trying to sell your home, but with a little common sense advice, you can get through this and actually sell your house for the price that YOU want.
