1. What do I need to do to sell my house in
Columbia SC?
You want to sell your Columbia house, and you want to get top dollar.
Excellent!
But “What do I need to do to sell my house in
Columbia“?
Here are some tips on how to get your home ready to sell if you’re looking for
top dollar that the market will bear:
*NOTE: These instructions are if you’re looking to get full retail value for your
house sale. However, if you don’t want to do the things below… or don’t have
the time or money to do the things below… you can still sell your Columbia
house fast for a fair value in a win-win sale that’ll save you time and expense.
1) Clean, clean and clean. Even vacant houses get dusty and dirty, so keep it up!
Nothing short of gleaming perfection will impress buyers. If you’re not a total
clean freak, hire someone who is to help you out until you sell.
If you’re a slob, consider finding somewhere else to live while you show your
house. Maybe you can bribe your cleanest friend to trade houses with you?
Seriously, keeping everything immaculate really helps buyers feel comfortable in
your space. Nothing stops people faster from buying faster than feeling grossed
out.
2) Cultivate a cohesive, neutral style. You don’t have to paint everything off-
white. In fact, some subtle colors can really help change the perception of spaces
– for example, a soft yellow will help brighten up a dark kitchen, while a deep
dark blue or green will help a bright bedroom to feel like a calm place to sleep
(but be careful, dark colors will also make rooms feel small).

2. Spend the money to get high-quality paint and professional help.
Subconsciously people will pay more money for a property with just the right
colors and very neat lines – it makes the home feel better built, even though it’s
just paint.
Optical illusions are real, and psychologists study this stuff. Don’t believe me?
Look it up. And don’t neglect the outside and just do the inside, or anything else
that’s unbalanced.
3) Fix or replace anything that’s broken. Yeah, it might feel like a waste of
money to spend an extra couple hundred bucks on a dishwasher that someone
else might just pull out and replace again. But really, quite a few buyers will get a
home inspection and use the opportunity to negotiate with you. As the seller,
you’ll often end up paying more if you try to hide neglected maintenance from
the purchaser – and of course you don’t want to be guilty of fraud.
Make sure you stay in compliance with all the laws.
It’s often a good use of money to hire a home inspector to come through before
you put the property on the market. If you ask in advance, they’ll often charge
you a tiny rate to come back after you’ve done a bunch of minor repairs and
deliver you a clean bill of health. Prospective buyers love to see an independent
report on the condition of the house – it makes them feel very comfortable with
the purchase.
4) Make only necessary improvements. The biggest mistake people make when
getting their house ready to sell is over-improving. They often spend too much
money on customized frills that can’t be recovered in the sale.
Paint is about the only safe investment – it’s easy to overspend on
almost everything else, and it’s easy to get ripped off by unscrupulous
contractors.
It’s important to know what improvements will produce a return on investment to
avoid wasting money.

3. 5) Get expert opinions. You should definitely find at least a few decent
real estate brokers who will help you price your property, but be honest
with them. If you’re going to market the property on your own, don’t
make enemies by lying about your intentions. Great brokers are rare, but
they make more money for their clients than they earn.
6) Have a really great marketing plan. Again, great brokers earn their value by
doing this work and spreading the advertising expenses across many clients. It’s
pretty expensive and time-consuming to start from scratch on your own, but if
you’re already a marketing expert you’re ahead of the pack.
If you’re not, spend the time listening to what the best brokers do to sell houses
in Columbia – just to educate yourself on the options.
7) Get a cash offer. We buy houses all over the Columbia area, and we do all
the work so you don’t have to deal with any of this stuff. Call Mason at 803-395-

While everyone wants to get as much as they possibly can from their house
sale… not everyone can do the things or wants to do the things required to sell it
at full retail value to an end buyer.
Doing the repairs, cleaning the property up, upgrading the property, marketing
the property… those all take money and can take lots of time.
If you have the funds to do these things... AND you can wait the 3-9 months it
takes to sell houses in this market… then you’ll be better off financially to do
those things then list it on the MLS (the main property listing service that real
estate agents use).
