Professional House Flipper and Real Estate Agent, Bobby Curtis gave tips on how to sell your house faster in this “neutral” market. See tips below or click here to see the full interview on KATU’s Afternoon Live with Tra’Renee.

Price it Right- Sell Your Home Quickly

1.Price it right- don’t hold out waiting for your buyer. It may work on occasion if you have a very unique property- but let someone in the real estate business be the judge of that.

Effective Staging- Sell Your Home Quickly

2.Effective staging. Of the homes that sell within the first week on the market with multiple offers, most of them are staged or appear staged.

Stay In Contract- Sell Your Home Quickly

3.Once in contract to sell your house, stay in contract. Negotiate after they do their inspections.

Hire a Great Agent- Sell Your Home Quickly

4.All of this will be made easier if you are working with a great real estate agent.

He/Him

Meet Bobby Curtis.  Buying agent. Listing agent.  Renovator.

A down-to-earth Midwesterner, Bobby graduated from the University of Michigan, and headed to Portland in 2004. He began a career in the pharmaceutical industry focusing on sales, marketing, and consulting.  In those five years, he was even lucky enough to roam around Europe for short assignment in Switzerland. When he came back to Portland he took some time to discover what he was really interested in. Homes. More specifically, architecture, restoration, and entrepreneurship. After getting his real estate license in 2011, he purchased his first house in Portland to restore, redesign, then sell. Bobby rolled up his sleeves and started in on what would become his real career interest – transforming distressed houses into stand out homes by discovering the beauty of each unique property. Since that time Bobby has bought and restored several houses each year in Portland, both large and small, with great success.  Armed with extensive first-hand knowledge of restoration, Bobby offers his clients an exceptional eye to pinpoint property potential and value.  Whether you are searching for a complete fixer property, or a shining, buttoned-up stunner, he is skilled and enjoys guiding clients through the process of finding the perfect place. If you are selling your home or investment property, Bobby showcases his clients homes like he was selling his own. That kind of attention to detail will present all of the property’s best features.  It's because he has bought and sold properties of his own each year, that he better understands what it’s like to be in his clients shoes, and to navigate through the current real estate market. As an experienced broker and professional, Bobby is able to negotiate the best price and terms for his clients. If you’re looking to get a sneak peak of Bobby in action, you can watch him on an episode of First Time Flippers on the DIY Network, where he helped his mom flip her first house. Or you can catch him on KATU’s Afternoon Live daytime talk show once a month, discussing Portland Real Estate and House Restoration.
