As your Hout Bay or Llandudno property is your largest investment and selling your house will probably be the largest decision you are going to make in your life, we have put together 10 tips that will help you and guide you through the process of selling your home, from appearance, to pricing your home correctly, to selecting the right agent, etc.
Tip #8: Do Not Move Out Your House Before You Sell
Selling a vacant home often leaves the wrong impression in a buyers mind. Not always, but quite often.
A home that has been forgotten or the seller has moved on (maybe they have bought another home) makes it hard sometimes for a purchaser to visualise how the spaces are used, especially if there is nothing in it, no couch, no TV, no tables, no dining room, etc.
A vacant home gives the impression of a forlorn home, forgotten.
Perhaps the seller has lost interest in the process and will be likely to grab the first offer that is presented to him.
Best practice: stay in your house and keep it well furnished, spic and span.
Tip #9: A Low Offer Do Not Take It Personally
Invariably, both you and the prospective purchaser know that the initial offer is below what he is finally prepared to pay for your Llandudno or Hout Bay real estate, in most cases.
Instead, evaluate the offer that has been presented to you. Check the selling price, check the deposit. Is it sufficient? Check how he is financing the deal. Check the time allowance. When will he come up with the money? Check the occupation dates, etc.
Quite often, people concentrate too much on the prospective purchasers offer the price instead of looking at all the other conditions attached.
At least once all the other boxes have been ticked and you are happy with all the other conditions, then move on to price.
