One of the absolute best and cheapest way to do this is to clean your home thoroughly. Shampoo rugs and wipe all the walls don't forget the baseboards. Clean drapery or blinds and wash all windows. Mop all floors and remove all grime and scum from the bathrooms.In addition to cleaning try these do it yourself projects
* Fill all pot holes in your driveway and tidy up walkways
* Repair any shutters and broken windows
* Fix doorbells and make sure all alarms are in working order
* Keep all counter tops clear of clutter but not empty.
* Completely degrease your oven.
* Clean out the garages and closets nothing is more appealing to a buyer than a spacious home.
* Keep shades open as much as possible as long as there is an attractive view. for the natural light to flow through your home.
* Arrange your furniture so that it is easy to walk through each room.
* Scale back on excess photos, signs, and wall hangings. However, don't put them all away I am a firm believer that a home should feel warm and symbols of love should adorn the walls and furniture.
* Remove debris and dust from corners and light fixtures.
* Spruce up around the home by cutting your lawn, planting flowers and tending to any cracks, holes, and throw out unwanted extras such as old outdoor furniture.

I do short sales very often I am currently working with a few sellers at this time on short sales. Here is a brief summary of what the lender will require of you.
ReplyDeleteThe lender will require you to submit the following information. A hardship letter explaining why you you need to do a short sale. You will be asked to give them recent bank statements,w-2 forms or tax records for the past 2 years, checks stubs if you are currently employed and proof that your home is currently on the market for sale with an agent.
Once you receive an offer on the property with copy of the buyers proof of funds the realtor will submit the offer to your bank as well as a HUD or net to seller sheet. Both of these documents can be provided by either your realtor or the closing attorney. This completes the documents the lender will ask for.
The lender conducts an appraisal or what is known as a BPO (BROKERS PRICE OPINION) on the property to get a ballpark value. This is known as market value. The lender will compile all the information gathered and analyze it.
The lender can either accept the terms of the contract or negotiate the terms once he has analyzed all the data. Once the buyer and the lender for the seller has come to an agreement on the terms of the sale the lender will issue an approval letter. The closing attorney will use this letter to draft the final HUD statement and prepare to close the loan.
I hope this is helpful if you have any other questions let me know
Have a wonderful day!!
