Home Improvement

The well-made but boring homes of generations past aren't selling as well. The problem is that major renovations cost money and don't necessarily provide the boost in sales price to justify them. You need to not only get your house maximum attention with minimal investment, you want to close the deal fast. 


Here are some technologies that can help you get the best price when selling your home.

Smart Technology 

Adding features like smart lighting, smart thermostats, or even a Wi-Fi network buyers could add their own devices to can immediately boost home appeal for younger buyers. Just be careful not to overspend. You can install this tech for a few hundred dollars, but if the home is already very low-priced or highly valued, it may not make much impact on value.

Internet

Even if you're using a real estate agent, don't assume that they're also expert digital marketers. You can provide your own content that can be communicated to potential buyers by providing them a single link.

Real Estate Sites

You don't have to build your own web page to sell your home. Instead, there are many "For Sale By Owner" and other classified sites featuring a real estate section. They're relatively cheap, and give you the chance to add your own sales-driving information, photos, and often video.

Social Media

The great thing about social media is that it's free. You may have your own profile on a major site already. Start some conversation on your home by adding photos, facts, and video in your posts. If you can generate some buzz about your home and the fact that it's available, it could look like competition and spur interested parties to close.

Some other digital media you could use include mapping portals. Some will allow you to mask your address while still showing the neighborhood. If your property is tidy, you could also buy or borrow a drone for some fly-over shots. You could hire someone with 3-D software to create more detailed virtual models or 360-degree tours of your home and property.

Property Settlement Agents

One of your best options for getting closings done sooner is the advent of online settlement agents, such as those at KDD Conveyancing Services. They can share documents, provide links to Land Registry records, and enable digital signatures. Closings can be done over the internet in real time, without the trouble of traveling to a formal meeting. They also might have access to popular real estate sites that you as an owner wouldn’t otherwise have access too.So long as you're honest and forthcoming, selling your home is faster and easier than ever before. Just make sure that you’re using all of the technical resources available to you.
