This is a sixty four million dollar question? Is it really possible? The answer is yes. I will tell you about my own experience in selling one of my property in less than one week. How did I do it?

Step 1: I inspected the property and wrote down some notes:

1. Carpet – dirty and parts of it worn – need replacement - $1200
2. Walls – need painting - $200
3. Cooking appliance – stained and too old – need replacement - $750
4. Door hinges – need fixing - $50
5. Rooms – too dark – replace lights with halogen - $25
6. Shower screen – glass broken – need replacement - $450
7. Bathroom sink – stained – clean - $5
8. Fly screen – broken – replace screen - $50

Step 2: I spent a total of $2730 to fix the property (some of the work I did it myself).

Step 3: I looked at some properties on the web for its price range.

Step 4: I got myself a solicitor for the sale contract and conveyancing work.

Step 5: I listed the property on the web and set the price 10% above the price range.

Step 6: I received some offers and accepted one close to my 10% buffer zone.

So it was sold.  

So here are some rules:

Rule no. 1 – Always present your property in good condition – spend few dollars - not too much.

Rule no. 2 – Never ask for more than your property is worth.

Rule no. 3 – When you receive an offer within your buffer zone – take it – don’t delay

Good luck.
