How to Sell Your House in 5 Days

Pezon Properties • December 28, 2022

If you’re attempting to sell your house, you undoubtedly want to complete the transaction as soon as possible. The sooner you can sell, the faster you’ll be capable of moving onto the next phase of your life, whether you’re seeking to avoid a long-distance transaction because you’re relocating, or need the money to buy a new home.


Fortunately, the often sluggish real estate transaction can be sped up. With the introduction of iBuyers and instantaneous online offers, super-quick deals are now more possible than ever. Additionally, the fact that housing demand has surpassed supply recently has been beneficial.


If your goal is to sell your house in five days, there are a couple of things you can do to expedite the process. Here are some quick-sale options and strategies to consider.

1. Improve your curb appeal

When it comes to selling your house, first impressions count, and giving a poor one might cause a considerable delay in the selling process.


The first thing a prospective buyer will notice when they show up at your house is referred to as curb appeal. This comprises:

  • Any front yard plantings or other vegetation
  • The sidewalk in front of your house
  • Your entrance
  • The state of your doors, shutters, and window frames
  • Any paintwork conditions on your property


Poor outside presentation can ruin a viewing instantly. Your home may appear to need work right away, which can turn off some potential buyers. Additionally, a neglected exterior can make potential buyers wonder how well you’ve taken care of the remainder of your house. Making minor improvements to your property’s exterior will increase its curb appeal and provide a favorable first impression in the eyes of potential purchasers. It shouldn’t take very long, but it will have a significant impact.

2. Sell to a cash home buyer

A residence can be sold for cash in a number of ways. One benefit is that you are spared the hassle that comes with the process of loan approval, since there is no lender. It’s significantly faster, which is an additional advantage. Since there are no lenders in the deal, it cuts down on the schedule as well as normal loan criteria such as buyer income and assessments.


Since a cash buyer has the entire sum necessary to purchase the house upfront, cash bids also have a lower probability of failing to materialize. There is always a danger that a loan application may be turned down if the buyer is depending on the loan to cover the cost of the acquisition. No funding equals no buying. Plus, if you have a cash deal on the table, you may be able to sell your house as-is. This eliminates the need for you to stage it or make repairs before listing. In reality, a lot of cash sales take place before a house is ever put on the market.

3. Give complete information

You need to give as much information regarding your house as you can if you want to sell it as fast as possible. This means that you will respond quickly to the buyer’s inquiries. Buyers will want to check out:

  • High-quality images of a property
  • A current floor layout
  • Details about the surrounding region and the neighborhood



It is wise to have this knowledge at hand in case they ask questions regarding the property’s past. In the event that any work has been done on the property, make sure you are aware of who performed the work and at what time.


One of the most recent changes to real estate listings is the inclusion of 3D property tours, so if you can, do so. Buyers may examine your house virtually rather than in person thanks to this. This will be sufficient for some purchasers, particularly those from abroad, to quickly obtain an offer.


Ensure that you provide flexible viewing hours if you are doing viewings in person. This ensures that potential buyers may see your property as quickly as possible, which is essential for selling a home quickly.

4. Use a competent agent

If you choose a traditional sale, there are several ways to sell your property quickly. Using a skilled realtor with current and outstanding sales in your area is a crucial element of speedy traditional sales. When interviewing agents, request a sales strategy for your house as well as a rundown of their most recent transactions, including the final sale price, the initial listing price, and the days the property was up for sale on the market.


Before putting your house on the market, talk to your agent about the competition, the average number of days area properties are up for sale, the proportion of sellers who receive full-price bids or more, and the way the market has changed recently. Visit other properties that are for sale and evaluate the level of competition such properties pose to yours. The realtor may opt to list or sell your house differently if you let them know that time is a factor.

5. Sell to an iBuyer

Online house purchases are carried out by real estate technology businesses called iBuyers. You provide iBuyer with information about your property, and it performs an algorithm to generate an offer that you can accept or reject. If there are competing offers, you might not receive the same price through an iBuyer as you would from a standard listing. However, the procedure is often quick and easy. From beginning to end, selling to an iBuyer can be completed in as little as just a few weeks.

6. Look into your local market

It’s crucial to ascertain if you’re in a seller’s or a buyer’s market if you want to sell your house quickly. You won’t be required to make many compromises in a seller’s market since buyers are disadvantaged. In light of the current limited housing inventory, this is where the majority of the nation is at present. However, in a buyer’s market, you might need to make a concession to ensure that your house sells quickly. That can entail pricing it lower on the market or trying other strategies to generate interest.

Endnote

Your house can bring in an offer within five days with the proper price and marketing techniques. Buyers in the market for 2022 like to view move-in-ready homes with an outdoor space and a home office, and they prefer to be able to view the homes online as much as possible.
If you decide to use the conventional method, find the top real estate agent for the job, and keep in mind that closing might take anywhere between 30 and 50 days. If not, think about asking Pezon Properties for a cash offer. In as little as 48 hours, you’ll have a cash offer, and you’ll be able to finalize the deal within 10 days.
