by Linda Cappello, Broker, GRI, ABR 03/04/2018

If you want to sell your house as quickly as possible, a home fact sheet is a must-have. By crafting an informative home fact sheet, you may be able to differentiate your residence from the competition and boost your chances of a fast, profitable home sale.

Creating an effective home fact sheet can be quick and easy. Now, let's take a look at three tips to ensure you can craft a home fact sheet that hits the mark with potential buyers.

1. Provide Accurate Information

Accuracy is paramount, particularly for a home seller who is crafting a home fact sheet. If you provide homebuyers with accurate information, you can make it easy for them to determine whether to move forward with a home showing.

Remember, your goal as a home seller is to make it simple for homebuyers to learn about your house. And if you produce an accurate home fact sheet, you can empower homebuyers with the insights they need to make an informed decision about whether to pursue your home.

2. Be Specific

There is no shortage of information that you can include in a home fact sheet. From details about the age and condition of your residence to the dates of recent home upgrades, it helps to include as much information as you can in a home fact sheet.

It usually is a good idea to include details about local attractions in your home fact sheet as well. For instance, if parks or other landmarks are located close to your residence, these attractions may help your house stand out to dozens of potential buyers.

3. Include High-Resolution Images

A picture is worth a thousand words. Meanwhile, including high-resolution images of your house in your home fact sheet may enable you to make a positive first impression on prospective buyers.

Before you take photographs of your house, it may be beneficial to conduct extensive home cleaning and repairs. That way, you can increase the likelihood of capturing photographs that show off the beauty of your residence.

As you put together a home fact sheet, you may want to collaborate with a real estate agent too. By hiring a real estate agent, you can get the support that you need to enjoy a successful home selling experience.

A real estate agent understands exactly what to include in a home fact sheet. As such, this housing market professional will enable you to craft an engaging and informative home fact sheet in no time at all.

Furthermore, a real estate agent can serve as an expert guide along the home selling journey. He or she will help you list your residence and promote it to the right groups of buyers. Plus, if you receive a home offer, a real estate agent can help you determine whether to accept, reject or counter this proposal.

Take the guesswork out of preparing a home fact sheet – use the aforementioned tips, and you can craft a home fact sheet that will help you stir up plenty of interest in your residence.
