Tips to sell your hoouse fast

If you are planning to put your house up for sale, it goes without saying that you are hoping to sell your home as quickly as possible and get your asking price. Set the stage for success with these tips.

Get your house sparkling clean. From gleaming floors and sparkling windows to shiny counters and scrubbed grout, every surface should sparkle. This is the easiest way to help your home look its best. You may want to hire professional to do some of the really tough stuff, especially if you have a large house.


Choose sophisticated neutral colors.  Rich midtone neutrals to create a sophisticated backdrop that makes everything look more pulled together.

Clear away all clutter. If you are serious about staging your home, all clutter must go. It's not easy, and it may even require renting a storage unit temporarily, but it is well worth the trouble. Clean and clear surfaces, floors, cupboards and closets equal more space in the eyes of potential buyers, so purge anything unnecessary or unsightly.

Open those closets! Open-house visitors will peek inside your closets. Closet space can be a make-it-or-break-it selling point for buyers, so show yours off to their full advantage. Again, this is really important, so even if you need to store a few boxes elsewhere, it's worth it.  have 20 to 30 percent open space in each closet to give the impression of spaciousness.


 Take a good look at your floors. At the bare minimum, give all floors a thorough cleaning,but consider having wood floors refinished if they are in poor shape. If you don't want to invest in refinishing floors, the strategic placement of area rugs can go a long way.

Create a gender-neutral master bedroom. Appeal to everyone with a clean, tailored master bedroom, free of personal items and clutter. You can't go wrong with clean, crisp linens, tasteful artwork and a blanket folded at the foot of the bed.


These tip will help you sell your house in this tough economy, everyone will be wanting to buy your house.
