Five Ways to Sell Your Catonsville Home in 30 Days or Less. I can't guarantee to sell your Catonsville home in less than 30 days ... but with a committed Seller who is willing to work as hard as I do to get their home sold, and for whom selling quickly is a priority, selling a Catonsville home in less than 30 days is certainly possible. I will post my Five Step Strategy for Selling your home in 30 days or less over the next five days. You can view the previous steps here: Step 1. Step 2. Step 3. Step 4.
Sell Your Catonsville Home in 30 Days or Less - Step Five:
And When the Offer Comes In ... Be Available, Be Reasonable, Have a Strategy and Stick to It
Be available - when a Buyer writes and offer on your Catonsville Home, try to remember - they are excited! They have pictured themselves living there, and they are in the rosy glow of imagining their new life. Be available to discuss the offer - in person with me - within a reasonable time frame of receiving the offer. The same day, or the next day, but as soon as possible in any case.
Be reasonable. Don't take offense that a Buyer has written what you perceive as a ‘lowball' offer for your home. During this stage, the Buyer may simply be trying to assess your mindset - how serious are you about selling your home? Remove your emotion from the situation, and together, we can evaluate the offer one component at a time.
Have a Strategy and Stick to It. The total negotiation process should not take more than 2 - 3 days, and really should not be that difficult. Catch the Buyers while they are still excited. Know your numbers, and be flexible. Most importantly - don't take the negotiations personally. Make a plan with all of the parties involved before you ever receive an offer, on how to handle counter offers, and how (and who!) will make the decisions. The time to work out who will make the final decisions about the offer is not after you have received an offer.
In the past four years, during the time of the ‘downturn' in our market, my average days on market for selling Catonsville homes is 44 days. I can't sell every home in less than 30 days, and I wouldn't claim that I could. Selling in less than 30 days is not a priority for every Seller.
However, if selling your Catonsville home quickly matters to you, when you commit to the process and follow my advice and Five Step Strategy, I believe that together we can accomplish your goals. Give me a call for a market analysis of your Catonsville home, and to find out more about how what matters to you, matters to me.
