Sell Your Home Faster

The first thing to consider when attempting a quick sale is the amount of profit you want from the sale. If sellers would consider receiving less in profit then the sale (say 150% instead of 180%), then selling price of the home could become more attractive. Oftentimes sellers' pricing and profit taking are not in line with what the market will bear. If the timing of the sale of the present house is important to moving into the dream home, then less profit taking can prevent a disruption in the planned move.
The last two items to consider for a quick sale are financial incentives and a contingency offer.
