5 Proven Tactics to Sell Your Home Fast!

by Laurie Dick

Selling your home can feel overwhelming, but with the right strategies, you can maximize your results and move on to the next chapter of your life. Here are five proven ways to sell your home quickly and for the best price:

1. Price it Right
Pricing is everything when it comes to selling your home. Homes priced slightly below round numbers—like $299,000 instead of $300,000—often attract more attention and sell faster. Avoid overpricing, as it can lead to delays and price reductions later. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), homes priced competitively and at market value sell faster and closer to the asking price.

2. Invest in Professional Photography
In today’s digital age, the first impression of your home is often online. High-quality, professional photos make your home stand out, attracting more buyers and offers. Did you know homes with professional photography sell 32% faster and often for thousands more? Great photos showcase your home’s best features and draw in serious buyers.

3. Stage Your Home for Success
Home staging helps potential buyers visualize your space as their future home. According to the NAR, 82% of buyers' agents say staging makes it easier for buyers to imagine living in the property. Staged homes not only sell faster but often for 1–5% more than unstaged homes.

4. Time Your Sale Strategically
Timing can make a difference, but the right time to sell varies by market. While summer months are traditionally busy, homes sell all year long in the upper Midwest. Work with a local expert to determine the best time to list based on your area and goals.

5. Partner with a Real Estate Agent
Working with an experienced agent is key to selling your home quickly and for top dollar. On average, homes sold with an agent earn $55,000 more than those sold by owners. Agents provide expert pricing, marketing, and negotiation strategies to ensure you get the best results.
