Ways to Speed Up Your Sale Are you in a hurry to sell your home?  Following these simple tips to speed up your sale:
	Price it right. Set a price at the lower end of your property's realistic price range.
	Get your house market ready for at least two weeks before you begin showing it.
	Be flexible about showings. It's often disruptive to have a house ready to show on the spur of the moment, but the more often someone can see your home, the sooner you'll find a seller.
	Be ready for the offers. Decide in advance what price and terms you'll find acceptable.
	Don't refuse to drop the price. If your home has been on the market for more than 30 days without an offer, be prepared to lower your asking price.
	Offer financial help.   Aiding a buyer financially can be tricky, but in the right circumstances (for example, if you have a lot of equity), covering closing costs or several months of mortgage payments can make a deal happen.
	Pretend you're the buyer.  The more pleasing and memorable the experience of viewing your home, the more likely a buyer is to either make an offer on the spot or return to see it again. Set aside your emotional attachment and act on your instincts. Warm up the decor if it seems sterile. Trim your shrubbery if it blocks a clear curbside view of the house.
	Be flexible about move-in arrangements.  If a buyer needs short-term storage space before closing, for example, consider offering your garage or basement, especially if you have already moved out. Protect yourself by stipulating fast removal of these possessions should the deal fall through, or setting up an escrow fund to cover any cleanup or removal costs.
	Include a decorating allowance.  A buyer who likes your house could be put off by the amount of redecorating it may require. Consider an allowance for new carpeting or fresh paint.
