What’s working for the pros that can help Connecticut real estate owners sell or even rent their properties faster and for more money?
1. Virtual Home Staging
The benefits of home staging have been touted again and again but even though it can help homeowners and investors sell their Connecticut real estate fast and for more money many find it a hassle or too costly. However, a new option, virtual home staging changes all of this. As almost all home buyers now begin their home searches on the internet today, simply virtually staging homes can help sellers to attract more interest, dramatically increase the perceived value of their properties and enable buyers to better envision the full potential of a home. The great news is that this is very inexpensive and fast for sellers to do.
2. Create Bidding Wars
One current tactic being used by professionals to sell homes for more money is to encourage bidding wars by purposely listing homes low. This captures more interest, increases competition and choice of buyers and ultimately leads to bidding wars with multiple rounds of bidding which pushes the final sales price up.
3. Open House Events
Instead of just holding an open house for Connecticut real estate by sticking a sign in the yard on the weekend and hoping someone will show up, take it to a new level by hosting an event. It could be in the form of a luxury party, wine tasting, BBQ, fun day for the kids or as wild as your imagination will go. This helps to attract more prospective buyers, increases the sense of urgency, keeps prospects longer and increases the perceived value of the home too.
4. Cultivate a Strong Email List
You never know when it is the perfect timing for someone else to buy a specific home you are holding but regular emails can be the ideal tool for getting it in front of prospects at the right moment. Keep building an email list and consider links to videos of the home or hosting a virtual open house with a Google+ Hangout or incorporating a “Click to Call” button which can initiate a live call between you on the spot.
