The current situation in the world has affected many markets, including the real estate market. During this spring, when the “lockdown” measures began, a good number of people postponed the purchase of real estate, and the uncertainty led to the fact that there was almost no real estate turnover. Today, the situation is somewhat more favorable when it comes to buying and selling real estate, but it is still much more difficult to find a buyer.
The crisis and people's fear are key when refusing to buy real estate, but there are still those who recognize this situation on the market as an ideal opportunity for investment, since real estate prices are currently falling. If you are planning to sell real estate, which can be a long and stressful process, this article will help you find a buyer.
Real estate agency
Although people in Croatia still avoid hiring a real estate agency when buying or selling, they are very useful. Especially in times of corona and the slowdown of the real estate market. Without the right agent, it is difficult to find a buyer and it can require a lot of commitment. Real estate agencies offer a completely individual approach to each client and using modern advertising tools and knowledge of legal procedures will help you to sell real estate quickly and achieve a better price.
If you still want to sell the property independently and the sale is not urgent, then we bring you 4 tips that will help you properly prepare and advertise your property for sale.
Collection of real estate documentation
The first thing you have to take care of when selling real estate is collecting documentation. It is very important that the property you are selling is legally legal and that you are sure that you have a valid title deed, construction and use permit. In addition, it is desirable that you have a floor plan of the property, which will make it easier for you to display the property and the layout of the rooms when advertising.
In case you have a problem related to the documentation of the real estate, it is advisable to solve it before starting advertising. In this way, you will ensure that the property is immediately available for sale, and not that interested buyers wait for you to resolve the documentation. The Pantovčak real estate agency always checks the documentation in order to point out possible defects.
Preparing real estate for sale
In order to present your property in the best possible way, it is necessary to prepare it for taking pictures and viewing. It is necessary to fix all the small things that could be a “thorn in the side” of potential buyers when viewing the pictures in the ad or viewing the property, and remove all unnecessary things from the space.
This will make your property look better and give the impression that it is ready for immediate occupancy. Various children's toys around the apartment or pictures and personal belongings of the tenant can discourage potential buyers from buying, because they give the impression that you are still attached to the apartment and are not ready to move out.
After you have fixed the small things and beautified the property, the next step is to take the best possible photos. At this step, you can also hire a professional photographer, who will show your apartment in its best shape with proper lighting and good shooting angles.
Real estate advertising
A quality ad is the key to attracting buyers and selling real estate quickly. That is why it is necessary to use the highest quality photos and describe the property, its advantages and disadvantages in detail. Write down any information that could attract or repel buyers, to eliminate unnecessary waste of time when looking around. In this way, buyers will be able to see everything about the property, the floor plan and photos in the ad, and those interested in buying will come for a viewing.
When advertising real estate nowadays, it is necessary to use modern means of advertising, such as the Internet and social networks. Pantovčak nekretnine agency is active and professional in using these tools and will show your real estate to many potential buyers.
Viewing the property
The last step when preparing to sell a property is the viewing. Remember that people who come to view are interested in your property and don't be tense. Show the property in a relaxed manner and explain all the advantages of the neighborhood and location. Try to ventilate the property before the arrival of potential buyers and organize the viewing by day. Then there is much more light and the property will look better.
When looking around, it is possible that customers will ask you about correcting the price. Always be prepared to ask this question and reduce the price to show initiative for a quick sale. Therefore, when placing an ad, set a slightly higher price than the minimum you would agree to.
Of course, in this time of the corona virus, we would like to point out that measures should be taken when viewing so that the virus does not spread, but a large number of sellers who live in the property they are selling do not want to show the property, i.e. they decide to take a break.
Selling real estate is not easy, and today it is even more difficult than usual. Fewer buyers and a large offer of real estate on the market due to the crisis result in difficult finding buyers. That is why it is wise to hire a real estate agency that will devote itself to finding a buyer and professional advertising and find buyers for you in the shortest possible time.
