Why the First 14 Days Can Make or Break Your Home Sale

Timing is everything when it comes to selling your home. Those first two weeks after listing can set the stage for its entirety: think of them like the opening night of a major show: lights are up, audiences are present - if you don't catch their attention quickly then their interest quickly wanes.

Why those first 14 days matter:

• Your listing is "fresh." From the moment it goes live, buyers and their agents become fascinated with your home - this is when scheduling showings becomes paramount in saving your listing.
• In the first two weeks after listing your house for sale, interest will build rapidly. Your property can be made "I cannot miss this one!" by properly pricing and staging. Potential buyers will be attracted to your property if you price it and stage it properly.
• It's important to make a good first impression. A home that is overpriced or has poor marketing may not build momentum and buyers will ask, "What is wrong with it?"

You only have one chance to make a first impression. With smart pricing strategies and professional photos as well as a detailed marketing plan, a successful launch could mean that you get multiple offers instead of having to wait months for someone else.

Make the first 14 days of selling count! Preparation in advance will save you time and stress. It can also increase your profits.
