The process of selling a home is tiresome and draining. And even in a hot market, you might still need some assurance that your home won't stay on the market for long. The most frequently asked question by sellers in the real estate market is: "How can I sell my home fast?"

Fortunately, there are numerous approaches you can take to sell your home quickly. Read below for tips to help you accelerate the home selling process:

1. Contact an iBuyer

An iBuyer company will purchase your home with a cash offer—the "I" in iBuyer stands for "instant." The process of selling your home to an iBuyer involves:

Filling out an online form
Uploading good photos of your house
Getting an offer after a few days

The good news is that iBuyer companies are buying more homes every day, so you will likely hear from an iBuyer if you follow the steps above. You might even get multiple offers.

2. Work With a Reputable Listing Agent

Working with a high-quality listing agent is imperative if you want to sell a home quickly and maximize your profits. The agent will help you handle all the responsibilities involved in the home selling process. They will stage your house, price it correctly, and take great photos to showcase all the good qualities of your house.

They will also write a great description of your house and advertise it on the right platforms to attract buyers. However, keep in mind that hiring a seller's real estate agent will likely cost you. Because agent commissions vary, you should expect to pay an average of 6% commission for both your sellers and listing agents.

3. Choose to Sell Without an Agent

The FSBO (For Sale By Owner) route could help you sell your house faster. According to data collected by the National Association of Realtors in 2020, FSBO homes sell faster because the homeowners sell them to friends, relatives, and loved ones. According to the data, an FSBO home stayed on the market for a median of one week.

In comparison, homes sold by agents stay on the market for an average of three weeks. However, the biggest downside to selling your own house is that your buyers may expect to pay the friend and family price instead of the market value. You will also be responsible for handling all the responsibilities of the listing agent.

For instance, you will have to handle the marketing, negotiating, and staging of the house. Remember that this could be stressful, especially if this is your first home sale.
