How can you sell your house in two weeks or less? Here are six ways that you can get the most of your home.

Before you can sell your home in two weeks, you and your home need to be ready for the transferring of ownership. The two steps to this are "Are you ready?" Second step is "Is your home ready?"

Are you ready?

Have you taken the precautions to make sure that you are ready to move? There have been people that have signed a contract on the home they were selling, and were not qualified to buy the home they wanted to be moving into. Therefore this resulted in the sellers having to find a home that was less satisfactory to them than the home they were selling.

Take the time to get yourself pre-qualified for a home loan for the amount of the homes you want to move into. This will resolve any problems that might occur in the transferring from one home to the other.

Is the house ready?

It is a good idea to do some sprucing up the house prior to listing. This would be just the basic repairs and clean up. Include in this any repairs that would bring the value of the home down, or the appeal of the home down to the viewers.

Throw on a fresh coat of paint, have the carpets cleaned, make sure the grass and yard looks clean and in good shape. Organize the house on the inside so that it looks good to the viewers. They will likely look in all the cupboards, closets and other areas that the normal visitor would miss.

Now the house is ready and you are ready, how are you going to make the most money you can and sell your house in two weeks? Here is how.

• Start with deciding if you are selling your home yourself or if you are going through a real estate agent. Both of these options have their benefits and drawbacks. Check into some options and do your research if you choose a broker.

• Make sure the price you are listing your home for is correct. This means checking into other homes that have sold recently and homes that are currently for sale in your area. Homes that sale fast, usually are sold at a reasonable price. Your appraisal of the home will likely show several listings of home sold and at what price. So with all this in mind, if you are wanting to charge more for your home, either it must have superb upgrades from the other homes, or you may have to wait a very long time for the sale to happen. The best thing to do is to list your home with a similar price as the homes in your area. If there are significant improvements, be sure to show them off.

• You have made sure the house was clean; do a quick check over on the garage, and or shed, and other areas of the yard that will affect the show ability.

• Remember the overall sale is to your benefit. This means that if there is a sale point that will clinch the deal, do what you can to accommodate. The blinds in the house are likely not to fit into your new house. Fill all the light bulbs, and keep specifics of the home with the home.

• Be excited about the sale. If you have a realtor showing your home, they may ask you to leave. The reason is that a homeowner may show some issues with nostalgia and therefore may not appear as excited about the deal as they should. This makes buyer nervous.

• Listen for queues, some people like a good bargain. You can adjust the price, and other variables in the sale. Keep an open mind when you are focusing on the end result, you will see a faster movement in the selling process.

The goal is to sell your house fast and get the right amount of money for it. This means to be the salesman you would want to purchase from. Perspective is everything. A person is more likely to pay a little more and work out a deal faster when the purchase is clean, the people they are working with are honest, and they feel like they are getting a good deal.
