Lowering the asking price by about 5% below market value will quickly catch the eyes of buyers and have people knocking at your door. People will see this great deal which will create a buzz in the community. Your house will stand out against all of the rest and become super popular.

      2. Set an Offer Deadline

If your house has gained some popularity this tip will spark people to make a decision and draw up an offer. When buyers see a good thing they won't want to miss out.

Turn on your creative side and try taking photos of your home with different angels and close ups. This will help make your house stand out and appear more interesting than others. If you'd rather hire a professional to do it for you ask for a sample of their work so you know what you're paying for. Their services can be pricey, but can also be an investment and really help your home get the attention and price it deserves.
