How to Sell Your Cape Coral Home Fast

7 Ninja Tactics for Home Selling Success!

1.         Positioning: Understanding the market and properly positioning your house to maximize exposure and to attract the most qualified buyers.

  2.       Market Value: When preparing your home to market, loan balance and purchase price have absolutely nothing to do with list price and or market value. Value comes in many different ways when marketing your house.

3.      Exposure: Creating a marketing plan that will properly position in the market and expose your house to the highest number of qualified buyers.

4.      Deal killer: Most real estate agents will do their best for their clients at all times. Some brokers are listing optimized and will know what buttons to push to win your listing. Typically they will give you a list price that is above market value essentially “buying the listing”. This higher list price sounds great initially until the house sits without interest or showings. Unfortunately for you the seller, that means your house may miss selling opportunities and even more important start a downward trend of perceived value.

5.      Ghost Yourself: At some point every item in your home needs to be packed once the house is sold, so during the first phase of preparation one subtle subliminal tactic to maximize your position is to remove all personal items from the home.  The goal is to make the home inviting, welcoming, and livable and to remove any barriers that would prohibit the buyer from visualizing them living in the home. Removing all personal items such as photos, collectables, family mementos and pack them away off site relieves any obstacles in the buyers mind allowing them to fully engage the home.

6.      Maximize Value: During the declutter phase your closets should be limited to only current season and should not be more than half full. This tactic alone sends a huge subliminal message that the home is more spacious. Kitchen and bath countertops should be free of all but a few decorative items. Cabinets should also be cleaned and organized and not more than half full, again giving the mental picture of having ample storage space. The garage is no different, pack it up and remove everything. Especially in Florida where storage space is a minimum, the garage and closets become a higher market value proposition. Removing furnishings that dictate a room’s use such as game room or gym equipment will allow the buyer to see their furniture in the room.

7.      Boat Dock Appeal: Cape Coral is known as a waterfront paradise with over 400 miles of fresh and salt water canals that provide access to the Gulf of Mexico. Curb appeal is important in making a first impression but so is the back of the home in many of these waterfront communities. The Pool and outdoor entertaining areas are highly marketable features increasing market value. The boat dock appeal or how your home looks and functions from the water’s edge is an inviting selling proposition that is often overlooked.
