Another reason to price your home right the first time—in addition to selling your home fast—is to avoid continual price drops, which indicates to buyers that the home isn’t worth what you’re asking. Continual price drops will devalue your home and increase the time to sale.
Perfecting your Home

Show-worthy condition means it is professional-grade clean, de-cluttered and depersonalized. So when it comes to how to sell my home fast—clean and organized is as important as pricing it well.
Good-Quality Photos
Homes with high-quality photos, shot with a wide-angle lens, get more showings. Period. So, be sure to get professional-grade photos using a wide-angle lens, to use on your MLS listing.
Don’t Be Afraid—or Over-Confident—of a Quick Sale
Many homeowners want a quick sale, but when a quick offer comes along they become over-confident that a better offer will quickly come in (as the first offers aren’t often at full list price). These quick offers however can be solid offers—and they may be the only one to come along quickly. So, don’t be afraid—or over-confident—of a quick offer, but do consider it carefully.
