Selling your home can be stressful under normal circumstances, but needing to sell in a short time frame only makes things worse. But if you need to sell quickly, you’ve come to the right place. Here’s what you need to know to sell your house quickly.

Don’t get us wrong, realtors are great, but when you’re in a time crunch, they may not be your best option. Realtors may have the ability to put you in MLS (Multiple Listing Service), but their commission can get in the way of you getting the quickest deal.

Realtors typically charge 5%-6% of the sale price for their services. This means that when there is a quick option to sell, they may encourage you to pass if there won’t be enough cash at closing for their cut. When that happens, you’re either stuck with the mortgage for longer than you’d like or you’ll need to show up at closing holding a big check with your realtor’s name on it.

When it comes to creative selling, most people stop once they’ve come up with a catchy sales flyer. But the most important time to get creative is when you’re meeting with a buyer.

Knowledgeable buyers, especially investors, are able to structure deals that can close in as few as seven days. These aren’t your grand-dad’s real estate deals, but they are legal, safe, and most importantly – quick.

Every house and every situation is different. Just because one method didn’t work for your friends, doesn’t mean it won’t work for you. If you want to sell quickly, you need to keep your options open and stay focused on your goal – leaving your mortgage behind.

Whether you’re trying to sell quickly because of a move, a divorce, or a less-than-stellar financial situation, there are brighter days ahead. With a little focus, creativity, and open-mindedness, you can sell your house and move on to the next stage of your life.
