Top 5 Tips to Sell Your Naperville Short Sale Home In The Shortest Amount of Time!
Today’s
market is flooded with short sale homes for sale so it is a must for every
seller to know these top 5 tips to sell your Naperville short sale in the
shortest amount of time possible.
1. Hire
an experienced Naperville
Short Sale Agent. A certified short sale agent who has experience
successfully closing short sales in your area will know how to effectively
market your home, create marketing materials that will highlight your home’s
best features, and list your home to expose it not only to buyers, but also to
buyer’s agents. You can help your agent market your home by making it look
appealing and inviting, cleaning it, making necessary repairs and upgrades, and
having it professionally staged before showing it. Your goal is to make your
home a potential buyer’s dream home that they will be willing to wait up to 6
months to get.
2. Be
flexible with showing hours. Be flexible enough in your
schedule so many buyers can view your home. Buyers are turned off by too many
showing restrictions (e.g. No showings on Sundays). If you have a Naperville
short sale agent, your home can always be ready for showing even if you are
away.
3.
Maintain your home insurance. Most lenders require sellers
to keep their homes insured. Otherwise, the lender will most likely add an
expensive insurance policy to your account. Not having insurance will also
delay the short sale process.
4. Do
not vacate the home until it is sold. A home sells better if buyers
see it fully furnished. An empty home will have more need of maintenance and
repairs. It may have an unpleasant musty smell from being closed up
and empty. If you must move out before the house is sold, make sure to keep the
yard maintained and leave the utilities on. Ask a willing friend or neighbor to
keep on eye on the property to make sure no squatters or looters get in.
5. Be
cooperative. Cooperating with your Naperville short sale agent will make your
short sale more successful. Respond to the lender’s request in a prompt manner
to avoid delays in the process.
These
are a few tips to make sure your Naperville short sale home attracts buyers and sells as quickly as possible. YourNaperville short sale agent will be able to give you more advice on how toimprove your home and help in the short sale process in order to arrive at a
successful closing.
