How to Improve the Odds of an
Offer
1. Price it right. Set a price at the lower
end of your property’s realistic price
range.
2. Prepare for visitors. Get your house market
ready at least two weeks before you begin showing
it.
3. Be flexible about showings. It’s often
disruptive to have a house ready to show at the
spur of the moment. But the more amenable you
can be about letting people see your home, the
sooner you’ll find a buyer.
4. Anticipate the offers. Decide in advance
what price and terms you’ll find acceptable.
5. Don’t refuse to drop the price. If
your home has been on the market for more than
30 days without an offer, you should be prepared
to at least consider lowering your asking price. |
