How To Help Your Clients Sell Their Home Quickly
May 30, 2022
When running a real estate business, there are various factors you’ll have to consider when it comes to maintaining high rates of client satisfaction. After all, in an industry with high client turnover rates, you’ll often rely on reviews and recommendations to stay afloat.
The easiest way to maintain this is to help clients sell their homes quickly and without stress. Of course, certain factors impact property sales that are beyond your control, such as market trends and consumer behaviours. However, there are plenty of steps you can take to navigate the way around this.
With that in mind, here are some top tips that you can use to help clients sell their homes quickly.
- Suggest simple home improvements. One of the easiest ways you can help your clients sell their homes quickly is by making their homes as attractive as possible to buyers. For example, a recent realtor survey found that 69% of buyers view the kitchen as the most significant selling point within a property. As such, it’s an area which deserves a little TLC before you begin the viewing process. Thankfully, this doesn’t need to be expensive. For example, you could replace the old worktops with affordable, stylish worktops from KML Worktops.
- Teach them the art of staging their property. Home staging also plays a vital role in the selling process – which means you need to help your clients understand exactly how their property should be staged ahead of time. For example, you should try to create a ‘blank canvas’ for viewers so that they can imagine how they can make use of the space. This means removing personal artefacts and clutter ahead of time, as well as being mindful of colours and patterns that clash within the home. The more simplistic the property can look, the better.
- Think about curb appeal. While the home’s interior is undoubtedly the most important factor to consider when selling the property, it’s vital that you don’t forget about curb appeal either. After all, first impressions are lasting, and the exterior of the property is the first thing clients see. If it appears messy or uncared for, they’ll enter the viewing with a negative mindset. As such, you should be aware of the various external factors that can affect your home’s value so that you can remedy them ahead of time.
- Understand the market. The key to succeeding in any industry is a keen understanding of the market. This will help you support your clients as you can make better, more informed decisions regarding the steps they need to take to sell their homes. It will also support you when managing client expectations, as you’ll be able to discuss their home’s value and what kind of asking price they should expect. While you’ll always want to ensure their asking prices are met, you may also need to discuss the merit of accepting a lower offer when the market is unstable or they’re in a rush to sell. Alternatively, you can look into ways they could increase the value of their property to drive the sales price.
