In this episode of the Investor Shed Podcast, hosts Nick Beveridge and Jeremy Kitchen dive into the home-selling process, sharing expert tips and strategies to help you maximize profits and minimize hassle. Whether you’re a real estate investor, agent, or homeowner, this episode is packed with actionable advice for a smooth home sale.

Nick and Jeremy emphasize the importance of listing a property on the MLS and working with a professional realtor to reach a larger pool of motivated buyers. They explore common pitfalls, such as selling a home as “For Sale By Owner” (FSBO), and why this strategy often results in lower profits. Pricing your home correctly from the start, staging it effectively, and utilizing professional media like photography and 3D tours are key tactics that can lead to quicker, higher offers.

The hosts stress the significance of the first 10 days on the market and how adjusting the price if needed can be the difference between a sale and stagnation. Learn why staging an empty house with furniture and decor helps buyers envision living there, leading to faster sales and potentially higher offers. Plus, they explain how a pre-listing home inspection can help eliminate negotiation obstacles.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• MLS listings and professional realtors help reach motivated buyers.
• Correct pricing is essential for maximum profit and a faster sale.
• The first 10 days are critical—adjust pricing if needed.
• Staging a home can lead to 5-10% higher offers and faster sales.
• Professional photos and media boost online traffic and showings.
• Pre-listing home inspections can smooth the selling process.

🎙 Sound Bites:

• "For sale by owners sell for about 18% less than similar homes sold by agents."
• "Stage homes spend about 73% less time on the market."
• "Deep cleaning can increase the selling price by $5,000 or more."
