Buyers during the fall season are highly motivated to find a home quickly. Most would prefer to be settled in before the busy holiday season arrives. This year is no different, and there are, perhaps, more buyers than in previous years looking to make a quick move. How can you make your home stand out from the rest?

There are some simple tips to engage those mid-summer buyers and still snag a fast sale.
