Tips for Selling Your Austin, Texas Home Fast and for Top Dollar

Published 01/11/2025 | Posted by Brandon Holley

Ever wondered how to get top dollar when selling your home here in Austin, TX? Hi, I’m Brandon Holley with Holley Homes Realty. Today, I’m excited to share some expert tips to help you prepare, market, and sell your home quickly and for the best price possible.

First Things First: Know the Market

Austin’s real estate market moves fast, but every neighborhood has its own story. That’s why understanding local trends is so important. Are homes in your area selling quickly? What’s the average price point? 

At Holley Homes Realty, I’ll provide you with a detailed market analysis so you know exactly where you stand and how to position your home for success.

Tip #1: Boost Your Curb Appeal

First impressions are everything, and buyers start forming opinions before they even step inside. Take a little time to:

  • Mow the lawn and tidy up the landscaping.
  • Give the front door a fresh coat of paint.
  • Update outdoor lighting or add some potted plants for a bit of extra charm.

A welcoming exterior sets the tone for the entire showing, so it’s worth the effort. Don't worry; I am here to help you with every step!

Tip #2: Declutter and Depersonalize

When buyers step into your home, they should be able to picture themselves living there. Here’s how to make that happen:

  • Pack away personal photos and unique decor.
  • Organize closets and cabinets (trust me, buyers will take a peek!).
  • Remove extra furniture to make rooms feel bigger and more open.

Creating a clean, neutral space helps buyers form an emotional connection and envision their future in your home.

Tip #3: Stage to Sell

Staging isn’t just for luxury homes—it’s a game-changer for any home. Whether you hire a professional stager or just rearrange your furniture to improve the flow, staging helps highlight your home’s best features and can lead to stronger offers.

Tip #4: Price It Right

Getting the price right from the start is so important. Overpricing can turn buyers away, while underpricing means leaving money on the table.

In order to ensure the price is correct, use data from past sold properties and compare updates, features, and other important information to get an exact price.

Tip #5: Market Like a Pro

These days, a simple 'For Sale' sign just won’t cut it. To reach today’s tech-savvy buyers, your home needs:

  • Professional photography and videography.
  • List on major platforms like MLS, Zillow, and Realtor.com.
  • A strong social media presence and targeted email campaigns to maximize exposure.

At Holley Homes Realty, I use advanced marketing strategies to make sure your property stands out from the competition. And I hire a professional videographer to capture your home with the perfect touch!

Tip #6: Be Flexible with Showings

I get it. It is tough to let someone into your home, but the easier it is for buyers to see your home, the faster it will sell. Be ready for last-minute showings and keep your home clean and presentable at all times. Being flexible can make all the difference when it comes to a buyer’s decision.

Tip #7: Appointment with a Trusted Realtor

Selling a home has a lot of moving parts—pricing, marketing, negotiations, inspections, and more. When you work with an experienced Realtor like me, you’ll have someone to guide you through every step of the process. I’ll take care of the details so you can focus on starting your next chapter.

Selling your home doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. With the right approach and a solid strategy, you can reach your goals. If you’re planning to sell your home in Austin, TX, I’m here to help. I’m Brandon Holley with Holley Homes Realty, and I’d love to work with you to make your move a success.
