How to Sell Your Home as Fast as Possible
By Leigh Martinuzzi | Martinuzzi Property Group – eXp Australia
Selling your home quickly doesn’t happen by luck — it takes the right strategy, timing, and preparation. Whether you’re moving for work, upgrading, or simply ready for a change, you want to ensure your property attracts serious buyers fast and sells for a great price.
Let’s look at the top 8 things you should do to help your home sell as quickly as possible.
1. Price Your Home Right from the Start
The biggest mistake sellers make is overpricing. In today’s market, buyers are savvy and have access to the same data we do. Homes priced correctly from day one attract the most attention — and often sell faster and for more money. A competitive price creates urgency and can even spark multiple offers.
Getting a professional property appraisal before you list is one of the smartest moves you can make. It helps you understand your home’s true market value, how it compares to similar properties, and what strategy can attract serious buyers quickly. The right price from the start can save you weeks — even months — on the market.
💡 Tip: Talk to us about arranging your free appraisal before setting your price. It’s the foundation of a fast, successful sale.
2. Choose the Right Time to Sell
When you sell can be just as important as how you sell. While properties move year-round on the Sunshine Coast, certain times can bring more buyer activity — such as early spring and late summer when demand typically peaks. However, the “right time” also depends on your local market conditions, property type, and competition.
💡 Tip: Talk to us about local seasonal trends and buyer demand in your suburb — the right timing can make all the difference to how fast your property sells.
3. Boost Your Street Appeal
You only get one chance to wow potential buyers. Invest time in improving your home’s street appeal — mow the lawns, pressure wash driveways, paint the front door, and add some fresh plants. A tidy, welcoming entrance sets the tone for the rest of the inspection.
💡 Tip: We can help you identify simple, high-impact updates that boost first impressions without breaking the bank.
4. Declutter and Depersonalise Your Space
Buyers want to imagine themselves living in your space. That’s hard to do if the rooms are filled with personal photos, knick-knacks, or bulky furniture. Declutter, simplify, and create a sense of spaciousness. Less really is more when it comes to presentation.
💡 Tip: If you’d like guidance, we can help you prepare a room-by-room checklist to make your home inspection-ready.
5. Stage Your Home to Impress
Well-staged homes consistently sell faster and for more money. You don’t necessarily need to hire a professional — small changes like neutral decor, fresh linens, and good lighting can make a big difference. Highlight your home’s best features and help buyers emotionally connect with it.
💡 Tip: We work closely with some of the Sunshine Coast’s best home stagers and stylists and can connect you with professionals who know how to make your property shine.
6. Market Your Property Professionally
Great marketing equals more eyes on your property. That means professional photography, engaging video tours, floor plans, and targeted online advertising. Today’s buyers start their search online, so presentation and visibility are everything.
💡 Tip: We use advanced digital campaigns and targeted social ads to get your listing in front of more active buyers.
7. Stay Flexible with Inspections
The more people who see your home, the better your chances of selling fast. Be open to private inspections and weekend opens. A buyer’s first available time might not always be the most convenient for you — but flexibility pays off.
💡 Tip: We’ll work with your schedule to ensure maximum exposure while keeping the process stress-free.
8. Partner with the Right Agent
A skilled, proactive agent can make all the difference. Look for someone who knows your local area, has a strong digital presence, and a proven track record of fast, successful sales. The right agent will guide your pricing, marketing, and negotiation — ensuring you achieve both speed and value.
