How to Sell Your House in Hours


What if you could sell your home in hours instead of weeks — no matter if it needs some work done before closing? What if you could do all this and get more than your asking price?

We just helped one ecstatic seller do all this. And at Carter & Associates, we try not to brag too much. Especially because in real estate, having the right house in the right neighborhood is a big part of the equation, and that’s something that’s out of the Realtor’s hands.

But when we listed an Inman Park house and within hours had a successful bid for over the $695,000 list, doggone it, it gave us a little shot of pride.

Because right house, right place is crucial. But so is a great team supporting that seller. With Carter & Associates, this seller got a full team of real estate professionals who quickly began working through a list of 185 services we provide to all of our sellers, including:

  • Working with the owner to write a killer description that motivated potential buyers. (Here’s the one that helped move the Inman Park home.)
  • Promoting the house not just via MLS, but also through our own website and popular social media channels.
  • Gearing up to handle open houses and staging for free.

See the full list for a comprehensive look at our extensive services. But that last one might be most crucial. If you’re shopping for an Atlanta-based Realtor, I challenge you to ask them if they’ll stage and handle open houses at no additional charge.

Or, we can save you those phone calls. No one does this here but us, and we do all of it for the same 3-percent rate you’ll pay those other real estate agencies.

A team that works

The key is, with us as your representatives, you’re getting a full team instead of a single agent. Our team members have a variety of specialties, and we’re adept at working together to maximize our skills.

Not everyone has the perfect house in the perfect neighborhood. Heck, even that Inman Park house wasn’t perfect. There were small contractor jobs to be undertaken, which we handled. And, frankly, it’s not always easy to move a relatively new construction in a historic neighborhood. Curbed Atlanta humorously said the house lacks the “O.G. Victorian genuineness” of the rest of the neighborhood. Had this listing gone to another agency — the results likely would have been much different.

OK, so we can’t promise to sell every house in a matter of hours like we did, as a team, with the Inman Park house. But we can promise to treat every one of our listings with this sort of care and expediency that we did with that property.

We’ll professionally design a flyer for your house. We’ll spread the word throughout our extensive network of Atlanta Realtors. We’ll setup public open houses (with social media promos) as well as agent-only “caravan” open houses.

Seriously, check out the list. Go ahead and comparison shop, if you like.

And then let us know if you’d like a no-obligation chat about how we can help you sell your house.
