Discover how to protect and capitalize on your most important investment.
Because your Lansdowne Real Estate may well be your largest asset, selling it is probably one of the most important decisions you will make in your life.
To better understand the home selling process, a guide has been prepared from current industry insider reports. Through these 27 tips, you will discover how to protect and capitalize on your most important investment, reduce stress, be in control of your situation, and make the most profit possible.
21. Moving Out Before You Sell Can Put You at a Disadvantage
It has been proven that it is more difficult to sell a home that is vacant because it becomes forlorn looking, forgotten, no longer an appealing sight.
Buyers start getting the message that you have another home and are probably motivated to sell.
This could cost you thousands of Rands.
22. Deadlines Create a Serious Disadvantage
Do not try to sell by a certain date.
This adds unnecessary pressure and is a serious disadvantage in negotiations.
23. A Low Offer Do Not Take It Personally
Invariably, the initial offer is below what both you and the buyer know he will pay for your Lansdowne real estate.
Do not be upset, evaluate the offer objectively.
Ensure it spells out the offering price, sufficient deposit, amount of down payment, mortgage amount, a closing date and any special requests.
This can simply provide a starting point from which you can negotiate.
24. Turn That Low Offer Around
You can counter a low offer or even an offer that is just under your asking price.
This lets the buyer know that the first offer is not seen as being a serious one.
Now you will be negotiating only with buyers with serious offers.
25. Maybe the Buyer is Not Qualified
If you feel an offer is inadequate, now is the time to make sure the buyer is qualified to carry the size of mortgage the deal requires.
Inquire how they arrived at their figure, and suggest they compare your price to the prices of homes for sale in your neighbourhood.
