Once an owner has decided to put their home on the market, it’s amazing how often they just want to get it done and move on.
The big, emotional decision is deciding that you’re ready to sell. After you’ve come to that conclusion, everything else is pretty much downhill.
Seeking to get the deal done quickly is a smart strategy.
Homes that stay on the market for more than six weeks – it doesn’t matter whether they’re houses, condos or apartments – tend to lose favor with buyers.
Folks start to question why no one has bought the property. Often, they’ll conclude the owner either wants too much or there’s something seriously wrong.
Either way, this type of buyer sentiment does nothing for your asking price. And, effectively, your home goes stale on the shelf.
A great agent will always guide you to move quickly once you’ve decided to sell.
There is no point in dwelling on the decision, delaying progress in your own life or keeping eager buyers waiting.
