Sell your house fast companies

I would recommend the auction route for a quick sale if you have a reasonably low reserve. The good thing about an auction is you know where you are, exchange of contract takes place at the auction with 10% of the purchase price being paid. The buyer then usually has 4 weeks to complete, if they don't you get to keep the 10% deposit, there can be no messing about further down the line with an auction sale.
Good Luck

I have worked in an estate agents for over 10 years and if your house is not selling there can only be a few things wrong. The house, the agent but generally most of the time it is the price.

If you have your house on the market have you tried dropping the price?

Also consider going joint agency and having two estate agents trying to sell the property. Regardless of what the agents say most agents will work on the same fees as sole agency. You also want it on a winner takes all basis so they actually work for their money rather than waiting for the other to sell in.

12 months ago we sold ours.....had 3 viewings & 2 offers within 3 days of going up for sale.....how ?

Simple..Prepared it well..Decluttered to storage unit....repainted the walls, cleaned everything inc carpets , rugs etc, fixed anything like wonky curtain poles etc. Re-turfed ruined lawn, pressure washed patio, painted shed. Bought new accessories ( which also look nice in our 'new' house )

Then, researched all properties within area that were similar..looked how long they'd been up for sale ( property bee ) , looked at what had sold and priced ours at the lower end of the price scale for what it was....some would say underpriced.....but those people would probably still be waiting for an offer. I say realistic/attactively priced.

Best Presented Property + Realistic price = Quick sale..and we didn't move much from the asking price either with 2 offers on the table.

The other houses that were up for sale at the same time in our street were still up for sale until very recently. I noticed a couple of them just sold , be interested to see how much they went down but they dropped the asking prices. They were just asking too much , and now have probably 'lost' more money than if they'd got it right a year ago. the market will decide what a property is worth. Virtually everyone I've ever known has overvalued their house, got very defensive about it and had a very long drawn out sale.

I think partly it's the fault of the way the Estate Agent system works...i.e. No Sale , no fee. If you had to pay up front for them to market your house for 6 months then I think sellers would make damn sure they did everything in their power to sell it.
