Nine Smart Ways To Sell Faster And Maximise Your Sale Price
Every seller wants the same outcome: a strong result, achieved quickly, without leaving money on the table. The good news is that selling faster and selling well are not competing goals. When done properly, they often go hand in hand.
At RDM, we see it every week. Homes that are prepared, priced and positioned correctly attract more buyers, generate stronger competition and ultimately sell sooner and for more.
Here are nine proven strategies to reduce days on market and maximise your final sale price.
1. Choose The Right Agent From The Start
The single most important decision you’ll make is who represents you. A strong agent brings local knowledge, buyer insight and a clear strategy, not just confidence. Look for someone who understands your suburb, has sold similar homes and communicates clearly from day one.
2. Back A Marketing Strategy That Makes Sense
The cheapest marketing is rarely the most effective. The goal is exposure to the right buyers, not just being online. A quality campaign should feel intentional, well explained and aligned with your price expectations and timeline.
3. Maximise Online Exposure
Serious buyers live on realestate.com.au and Domain. Premium placement, strong copy and consistent branding matter. Combine this with a professional signboard to capture drive-by interest and reinforce your online presence.
4. Invest In Professional Photography And Video
Buyers scroll fast. High-quality photography stops them. Video walkthroughs and short-form social content help buyers connect emotionally before they even inspect, particularly interstate or time-poor buyers.
5. Nail First Impressions
Street appeal still matters. A tidy garden, clean façade and welcoming entry set the tone before a buyer steps inside. First impressions influence how buyers perceive value from the outset.
6. Leverage Your Agent’s Buyer Database
A strong agent already knows who is looking. Direct buyer outreach at launch often generates early inspections and momentum, which is critical in the first two weeks of a campaign.
7. Highlight What Buyers Actually Care About
Every home has hero features. Kitchens, living spaces, outdoor areas or views should lead the narrative. Buyers don’t want a list, they want a lifestyle.
8. Be Flexible With Inspections
The more accessible your home is, the more buyers it attracts. Private inspections, early evenings and midweek times can be the difference between interest and missed opportunity.
9. Listen To Early Market Feedback
Early buyer feedback is gold. If the market is telling you something consistently, it’s worth addressing quickly. Homes that adjust early tend to sell stronger than those that chase the market down later.
Final Thought
Homes that sell fastest are rarely rushed. They’re prepared, priced correctly and marketed with intent.
If you’re thinking about selling and want a strategy built around your home, your suburb and your goals, that’s where we come in.
Strong foundations lead to smart moves.
