How to Save Tons of Time When Selling Your Home

Sharing is caring!

Selling your home is often one of the most frustrating, anxious, and difficult times of your life. It can totally consume your every waking moment, and keep you from sleeping at night, so you don’t even get any respite then, but you know what? It doesn’t have to be like that. Here are some tips that will save you heaps of time (and sanity) when selling your house.

1. Virtual Staging Companies: Because Moving Furniture is So Last Century

Dragging sofas and beds around to stage your home? That’s so yesterday. Enter virtual staging companies, like Phixer, who if you need virtual house staging, are hard to beat. They’ll digitally furnish your home to look like something out of a fancy interior design magazine or your favorite Instagram star’s pad, all without lifting a single pillow. It’s efficient, it’s effective, and best of all, it doesn’t involve moving heavy furniture around. What’s not to love, right?

2. Declutter Like You’re on a Game Show

Imagine you’re on a game show where the prize is selling your house quickly. The challenge? Decluttering at lightning speed. Channel your inner Marie Kondo and get rid of anything that doesn’t “spark joy” or isn’t nailed down. The less stuff you have, the less you have to clean, organize, and fuss over, and the better your home will look to potential buyers.

3. Professional Photography: Worth a Thousand Words (and Hours)

Hiring a professional photographer is like having the best PR person in the world, but for your home. They come in, wave their magic camera wands, and suddenly your home looks dazzling in pictures. These photos can do wonders for your online listing, attracting more buyers and saving you from endless open houses.

4. Get a Pre-Sale Home Inspection: Knowledge is Power (and Time-Saving)

Getting a pre-sale home inspection might seem like adding an extra step, but it’s actually a time-saver. Knowing any potential issues upfront means you can address them early on, avoiding prolonged negotiations with buyers later. Think of it as a cheat sheet for home selling.

5. The Price is Right

Pricing your home can be a tricky thing to get just right. Price it too high, and you’ll hear crickets. Too low, and you’ll kick yourself later. That’s why you need to aim for the ‘just right’ sweet spot. So, be sure to do some research, check out comparable homes, and maybe even consult a magic 8-ball (or, you know, a real estate expert).

6. Go Paperless with Digital Documentation

In the digital age, there’s no need to drown in a sea of paperwork. Go digital with your documents. E-signatures and online document storage can save you from paperwork pile-ups and speed up the process. Plus, trees will thank you.

7. Respond Rapidly: Because Waiting is So 1999

In the fast-paced world of home selling, responsiveness is key. Quick replies to inquiries and offers keep the momentum going and can significantly speed up the process. It’s like being in a text conversation – no one likes waiting three days for a reply.

Time to sell your home!
