If you are contemplating an RV sale, the first thought that is likely to cross your mind is “what steps would help me sell my RV quickly?” You are not the only seller who wants an answer to this question; most of the rig owners think the same when it comes to finding a taker for their RVs. Giving your motor home a thorough cleaning would be an excellent first step toward realizing your goal. Here is how to go about it:

1. Clean the Ceiling and Windows First

Start your cleaning project with the vents. Rinse the screens with a hose after taking them off. Next, remove any dirt build-up within the vent. Wipe down the covers, too. Now, keep the vents open for some time and turn on the fan. It will help the smelly air to escape. Next, move to the air conditioner; clean its air filters and vents. Remove the cobwebs, if there is any. As for the windows, detach and wash their screens first and then apply a gentle cleaner on them.

2. Get Rid of Molds

When an RV sits idle for a considerable time, it tends to get moldy. If you notice molds growing on the floor, do away with them immediately. Otherwise, an offensive musty smell coming from them may put off your prospects. To get rid of this menace, mix one cup of bleach with four cups of water, add it to a bucket and scrub the floor with it using a brush. Wash the floor once again with clean water and let it dry. Use a vacuum cleaner to reach the corners that are difficult to access.

3. Use Appropriate Cleaners for Different Kitchen Equipment and Cabinet

In the kitchen, you have to clean three items – cabinets, stove and the countertop. At first, empty out the contents of the cabinetry. Use an RV-friendly wood cleaner for wooden cabinets, and a mild cleanser for the vinyl wrapped units. A gentle wipe with a soft cloth is sufficient for keeping veneer cabinets clean. Use only specified cleaners for the stove top. Use warm soapy water for the range hood. Don’t scrub; otherwise, you will get it damaged. Countertops are usually easy to clean. Wipe it with a soft damp cloth to make it shine.

4. Sanitize the Bathroom

Use a squeegee and mild cleaner for cleaning the shower area. Clean the toilet with a brush. Don’t use any harsh detergent here as it may damage the surface. Next, flush the black tank with your garden hose and add deodorizer here.

5. Know the Areas That Need More Attention

In an RV, the items like door latches and steering tend to get dirty very quickly as most owners overlook them. If you go for test drives frequently with the potential buyers, consider cleaning the steering at least once a day. Door latches are another thing that you have to touch a lot while showcasing your rolling home to its future users. Wipe them two/three times in a week to prevent dirt accumulation.

If you are a first-time seller, it is natural for you to wonder “what steps can help me sell my RV quickly and hassle-free online.” Prep it right and start by giving your rig a thorough clean up. Follow our cleaning regimen for the best result.

How do you make your RV a jaw-dropping deal for the buyers? When you are thinking about selling your RV that is the only question the matters, right? Well, maintenance and proper cleanup job can make the motor home halfway decent. But, most of the time, it is the entertainment benefits that seal the deal. Yes, RV-ers look forward to enjoying the outdoors when on a road trip, but, there are times when a good old television saves the day. However, just having a television is not enough. You need to have a digital TV converter to catch the signals. Here are the whys and the hows you need to know.

Why Do You Need a Digital TV Converter

Since all the analog channels went dark on Feb 17, 2009, you need to have a digital turner in your television to access them. Sure, you have an antenna, but since a digital frequency now controls the transmission, you won’t get to enjoy your favorite channels without a turner. Although from March 1, 2007 all television sets in the USA come equipped with digital turners, your used RV might not have that feature in its sets. Check your user manual or contact the seller to find out if your TV sets have that facility or not. If not, then you need to install one before trying to sell you RV.

How to Install It

While installing a digital converter is not that tough, using a step-by-step approach can make things easier for you. Buy The first step, of course is to buy the converter. Next, buy an extra TV cable if you are planning to put the converter box a bit far from the TV.

To install the box, turn off the power first. Then unplug the cable from the video switch box that is connecting it with the TV, and plug it in the ‘TV out’ slot in the converter box. Now get the extra TV cable you bought and plug its one end to the ‘TV out’ port of the video switch box and the other end to the ‘antenna in’ port of the digital converter box. See! It is quite easy. There is a small catch though. In case you have installed your television set in a cabinet, get it out.

If you do not have a video switch box, you can just take the cable from the back of the TV and plug it to the ‘antenna in’ slot of the digital converter. One end of the extra length of cable will go in the ‘out to TV’ slot in the digital converter. Put its other end in the ‘antenna in/cable in’ slot of the TV.

The process gets pretty straight-forward from here. You need to plug-in and turn on the converter box, then turn on the television. When you tune the TV for channels, you will see a menu on the screen that will guide you through auto scan to get the channels.

You will find that selling your RV is much easier with a digital converter in it. Just remember that making your RV a lucrative deal is not easy, with hundreds and thousands of competitors around. Making it entertainment-ready is certainly a great way to boost up the resale value.

Are you a homeowner ready to sell your home? Thinking of being a For Sale By Owner (FSBO) without the assistance of an real estate agent? Lets go through the Pros and Cons on how to sell your own house.

Pros on FSBO

1. You save money on commission because you do not have to pay a commission fee.
2. You are in control. You get to pick the appointment times, how to negotiate with the buyer, and so on.
3. You get to choose the price of your own real estate listing.

Cons on FSBO

1. You will probably sell your house for less than what it is actually worth. Without broker representation, it is difficult to price your house right without all the tools and resources that an agent has.
2. You may have some venues to promote your house but it will not get the best exposure on the real estate market. Real estate agents have programs, devices, and methods about how to get your home fully exposed and seen while on the market.
3. You do not get reliable feedback on how your listing is being represented. Other industry professionals may be nice but not always honest about how your home could improve to get it sold faster.
4. You are responsible for all legal forms and you take the risk of financial and legal liability.
5. Things can also get very complicated in a real estate transaction, so you need to educate yourself in all areas of selling a house. You will need to know who to contact for legal advise, home repairs, title companies, inspections, etc.
6. It will be difficult for you to decide who is an interested and qualified buyer, without prior experience.
7. When you do find a qualified buyer, it will be difficult for you to negotiate and easily close the deal since the buyers have a professional representative negotiating for them and you do not.
8. Almost all transactions have some hiccup or skew that complicates the deal. This is where a professional agent really becomes helpful because their job is to keep everything smooth and weed out these complications with their real estate knowledge. Selling your own home without an agent can be stressful and be difficult from listing it, all the way through contracting and closing it.

Yes, there does seem to be more Cons then Pros when it comes to selling your home through FSBO. However, do not be discouraged if you still want to do For Sale By Owner. Just try to become as well educated about real estate and transactions as you can and realize you have a lot of work ahead of you. It is highly recommended that you do hire a professional if possible. The process will be less stressful and complicated for you, making it an enjoyable experience to sell your house.

Selling on eBay has become a very competitive business.

At one time, selling your products was not too difficult and could make a nice extra income for you.

Yes, before Christmas is still a great time to sell but after Christmas can be a bit more challenging depending on what you are looking to sell.

Some years ago, many people would give cash as a present for Christmas,

Then the boom of gift card giving started and people did not have the cash after Christmas like they did before since gift cards took away the “cash” presents.

After Christmas selling can be challenging but not out of the question.

Billions of dollars each year is spent on gift cards, even eBay has gotten into the arena for the gift cards.

Even though eBay gift cards are for sale all year, most of the sales are given as Christmas gifts.

This could help you sell after the holiday, again, depending on what you are looking to sell.

Many people don’t hold on to their gift cards but spend them within the first month they get them. Which can be a good deal for the sellers on eBay.

When would another time of the year when most people have extra money in their pockets?

March – May

Why do you think this would be?

Getting their income tax money back.

With many American getting anywhere from a few hundred dollars back to thousands, they are looking to spend it.

With pretty much everything being sold on eBay, you may want to do a little research on what is selling good or in demand.

One way you can see what products are “hot” is do a search on the internet for eBay hot list.

Once you get your results, make sure you click on a link that will take you to eBay.com that way you can be sure to see the original list.

What is the Hot List?

It is a large pdf file compiled of recent eBay data queries like, most searched, most sold and so forth. They rank words and phrases by eBay category.

This information can be very useful when looking to sell.

They also have it broke down so you can see the different holidays. Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day and of course Christmas time.

Another place to do research on eBay is to take a look at the completed listings after the holidays.

Click on the advanced link next to the search box, type in what item you would be selling and click the box next to Completed Listings.

The items in red means they did not sell, items in green are sold for that amount.

Remember, use the hot list and Completed Listings as a starting point, not an ending. Additional research on eBay can help you decide if selling after Christmas would be better for you and your product.

There are so many reasons as to why you could decide to sell your house. In most cases, people sell their homes after divorce, retirement, when immigrating to another area or when they have a pressing financial matter they would like to attend to fast. Whatever the reason behind your need to sell your house, there are several ways to do it fast and easy.

1. Add value to your house

One of the fastest ways of ensuring that you sell out your property fast is by adding value to it. It is a process that can involve renovating the house and giving it a new pleasant look. When everything is in order, buyers will accept your property faster. Green homes tend to be more marketable than those that are not so also consider this kind of value when you are looking to sell fast. Have all repairs done and make the home as complete as possible for you to make a faster sale.

2. Do your marketing well

Some of the reasons why some homes take a long time to sell is poor marketing. Putting a ‘for sale’ sign right outside the home might not be enough for it to get the exposure that it needs. You must go beyond this and probably employ other marketing channels such as the media, classifieds and even social media if need be. Use every channel possible to get the word out there that you are selling. A marketing strategy that is all rounded can go a long way in helping you sell faster.

3. Sell to property managers

Today there are so many property buying companies and managers who directly buy your house regardless of its current state. This is probably the fastest and easiest way of selling fast because you do not have to worry about making any renovations and repairs to the house or even marketing it extensively to have it sell. The buyers can easily be reached online and they will come right where you are, inspect the home and give you a value. When you agree to it, then you can receive the agreed money in cash within a few minutes or hours. The property buyers make the process hassle free for you and you do not have to wait a minute longer than you should to sell the property. You, however must be careful so you get the amount your home is really worth regardless of how fast you want to sell it.

4. Reduce your price

If you do not want to involve any agents to help you sell and you probably do not have the time to wait until the right buyer comes along, you can decide to sell the house for less than what it is really worth. It is not always a great idea, but can work when your mind is on time and money that you currently need. Lower priced houses that are in good shape do sell faster and this approach might just work for you.

I think that if you are good on the phone and have a good understanding of cold calling techniques , that it can help you sell on the internet. And by realizing you may be good on the phone, you have an asset, and you are probably not afraid to sell. So if you’re willing to get on the phone and sell something for three hours in the morning, five days a week, fifteen hours a week of nothing but phone selling – dialing and smiling – selling and pitching something, I think you will make money. But what are you going to sell?

And what I would tell anyone is this. I would look for a high ticket product to sell. There are seminars being put on all over the country, expensive seminars, thousand dollar seminars, five thousand dollar seminars, fifteen thousand dollar seminars. Before I even started selling my HMA Consulting opportunity, I was using some audio interviews to promote another consulting opportunity. It was a fifteen thousand dollar seminar.

So there are seminar promoters who would love to pay you 50% on whatever you sell. So if you are good on the phone and you can sell a seminar on whatever subject, let’s say it’s referral marketing and it’s a two thousand dollar seminar in Texas, I would get on the internet and I would find some leads and I would start dialing and selling that seminar.

If I was giving someone advice, I would tell him he could actually interview that expert about his expertise, about why someone should come to this referral seminar. Why should they believe him? What makes him so good? What are the students going to learn? Is it worth two thousand dollars?

Do some case studies, and do an interview with him. Then use that interview to automate that selling. So if he has an interview and he understands the internet for delivering audio content, instead of him making phone calls selling each person over and over again on the phone, he can use the leverage of his interview and all he has to do is direct that person, even if he had to make phone calls, direct them to the audio interview or mail out the interview on a CD, or give them a phone number that they can call and listen to the interview on a replay line, or mail them the typed transcripts of the interview.

So with audio interviews, when you’re promoting something, you get to take yourself out of the picture. You get to automate the selling process and that is the most valuable thing about the combination of doing experts interviews and the internet. You’ve got to have the internet and these other formats for distribution to make it work.

The network marketing business was started before five decades. Those who want to start their home business can join the network marketing company and start making profits by selling their products. The advantage is that you don’t need to manufacture a product. You become a distributor of your parent company and start selling their products. You will be paid a commission amount for every sale you make.

The secret of success behind the network marketing business is the ability to sell products. This can be done by selling the product to more customers and by building a large down line. The product you are selling determines both of these factors.

When you are selling a product that is bought once for a lifetime, you cannot use the same customer again for selling the product. With network marketing you will be selling the same product. Therefore, the next time you need a sale, you have to reach a different customer.

Think of a situation where you have customers that come back to you periodically for buying the same product. Such types of products are called consumable products. The meaning of consumable is that people buy the product, use them up and will come back to you to buy the same product. With this, once you sell a product to a customer then you can expect the same customer to buy the product again and again.

You can make residual income with existing customer base and when you bring in more and more customers you are actually expanding your business. The consumable products will attract other distributors and you will have many leads joining your leads. As they all have the same advantage, you can have endless sales. Of course, the product you are selling must be of good quality and must be priced reasonably.

Household products are good examples of consumable products. Anything from soaps, detergents, shampoos fall under this category. These products are also available in the local market at cheap prices. You have to compete with these products and you must make your household product stand out of the rest. These products are all required in all houses and people can easily replace the brand they are using with your brand.

Many network marketing companies are offering health pills for selling. The world is polluted and many people are suffering from various diseases. It is necessary to strengthen the human immune system. So many people are interested in buying vitamin supplements and other health pills. But you won’t have a place for these things in all monthly budgets.

Health drinks are also sold by many MLM companies that promise to improve the health of the person drinking it. When the product has expected results, then you can expect the people to stock these things in the refrigerator.

When you sell consumable products, you have the advantage that people will be coming back to buy it very frequently. You must choose products that can be sold once in a month at the least, rather than once in a weak. If you choose a company offering highly consumable products to sell, then you can really become a millionaire with your home business.

When it comes to selling your house by owner, it can be confusing. Which forms to use. How to market it to get people to find you. Even how to take care of the closing and recordings. However, there is one overlooked part of selling most folks don’t think enough about.

Financing.

This is how the deal gets done. After all, if the buyer doesn’t get the funds in your hand, you can’t close. And in this crazy real estate market, where everyone’s wondering whether we are recovering or entering another bubble. If housing gets better, will mortgage lending become easier or harder (as they have been lately).

One of the least known, yet most powerful selling techniques when it comes to getting your house sold is a lease option. This is also known as a rent-to-own. A lease option is basically finding a well qualified tenant/buyer that wants to buy your house, but for some reason or the other, just can’t get qualified right now. It can be because of some strain on their credit from the last crash or their lender is requiring more down payment than they currently have saved up.

Either way, these are folks who genuinely want to buy, have the income to support buying the property, and just need some more time to get financing ducks in a row.

And this market is huge. The amount of people in this category is huge right now. A good 80% of people who want to buy, and can afford to do so, just can’t get approved right now.

To sell your home fast in this market, by yourself, and net the entire purchase amount (since there are no fees or commissions when selling with a lease option), this method can be a great solution. The buyers are there, and if you can wait a year or two to get cashed out… this can get you out from under your payments and get the best price possible.

If your concerned about being a landlord… don’t. Selling with a lease option attracts buyers who want to buy, not just serial renters. There is huge difference in their thinking. A renter just wants a place to live in for a period of time and move on. They won’t clean up, they don’t care about repairs, and will usually leave the house at anytime, in not the best of conditions.

When you deal with buyers, you get a great family who wants to buy your property. Not just move from place to place, but a real buyer who will take care of all the repairs, keep the place perfectly clean, and ensure the payments are made on time since they don’t want to lose their option.

You, as the seller, also benefit from the market or higher payments you’ll be getting, not having to deal will all the day-to-day maintenance, and from getting full retail price when they cash you out… without paying a realtors commissions or fess… which usually results of over 10% of the price. This works out really well if you don’t have much equity or if you’re upside on your mortgage.

Selling your house on lease option or rent-to-own is one of the best kept secrets of how to sell your house yourself fast and get the best price.
