When you want to sell your property the intention will be to sell it fast for the most that you can get for it. Here are a few tips to help you do this.
Don’t underestimate the work involved
Selling your property may look like an easy task but there are a lot of different aspects that go into a sale that an inexperienced seller may not be aware of which could adversely affect the sale.
Use the right resources
Don’t assume you know everything there is to know about this venture. Rely on resources that can provide you with the right information you need such as how to market, and to price and how to show your property to maximize your investment.
Selling is not a Do It Yourself Project
It is tempting to try and sell the property yourself to save on fees but you could end up losing money on your DIY sale.
Choosing the right agent
Choosing the right agent can mean the difference between selling your property or having it sit on the market. It can mean the difference of you getting the minimum amount or max amount on your investment.
You need to choose an agent that has your best interests at heart. Their objective should be to get the sale closed for you at the best price for you.
Choose an agent that is well known and established because they are likely to have access to better resources, and will have the experience to draw potential buyers to them.
Don’t let your emotions dictate your choice of property agent. Make your decision based on merit, and not how well you like the individual or want to boost their success. Choose you agent based on what they have done and not what they say.
Choose the right listing time
You need to be sure that now is the prime time to sell. If your property is on the market too long it works against you. A boom market is a good time but the time of year that boom is taking place in has to be considered. For example it’s not a good idea to put it on the market just before Christmas.
Be Realistic with your asking price
Do your research as to what is happening in the market in your area to help you determine a fair price for your property.
Don’t price your property based on how attached you are to it, and the personal value it hold for you.
Decide whether you want to sell your property through a private treaty process or through negotiation or whether you want to sell through auction.
Giving the right impression
How you present your property is going to be key in getting it sold. The better it presents itself the better chance you have at getting your asking price.
Know how to style and communicate
Set up the property so it is appealing to a potential buyer. An empty home doesn’t show well. You want the potential buyer to be able to visualize what it looks like when lived in. At the same time you don’t want it to appear cluttered.
Use expert help to stage the property for you.
Make sure your prospective customers have all the positive details about your property.
Marketing that works
Getting the word out that your property is for sale is critically important to getting a sale, as it is a very hard task to sell a secret. Your agent will be able to run you through the different marketing options available to you.
