Every property will sell and has the potential to sell quickly; the price is the #1 factor controlling this outcome.

Properly priced, you will have the possibility of many more buyers competing for your property.

Asking Price vs. Selling Price

Strategically pricing your home to get it sold for the most money in the least amount of time
