Selling you Home

As you ready yourself to sell a house, the first thing that strikes you is the fact that it is not that easy, and you will not find too may takers unless you plan your sale well in advance and take necessary steps to ensure that it is a smooth transition. Like in anything in life, this also works well if you have a concrete plan and execute it well.

As a starter, you need to disconnect yourself from the house as emotional bonds with your home can tie you quite strongly. Remove clutter, make your house free from unwanted additions like personalized wall hangings and name plates. This gives the intending buyer a feel that there are no emotional strings attached to the property. Proceed to give the house a face lift. Doors, windows, plumbing and electrical systems, and even paints on walls have to be taken care of. Along with these works, an initiative to market the sale has to be started. Always have a pre-sales checklist ready so that you do not miss out on any important facet that needs to be taken care of before the house is let open to prospective buyers to check.

Marketing is best done through media. Print media and internet are powerful tools for this. A real estate agent can be employed if you can afford to pay him his commission. Also ensure that an inspector is called to authorize the regulatory approvals connected with the property.

As enquiries start coming in, you can give appointments for buyers to have a look at the house. Once the initial process is done, it is time to look at the financial aspects of the business. Get quotes and scrutinize them. Have personal meetings with those who have quoted rates that you find closest to your expectation. Now, the rounds of negotiations start. These times can be quite tricky as the price depends on your skills at the negotiating table. Always get details of future projects in the area of the property and try to project the area as a to be developed area which can attract big infrastructure investments from corporates. This gives you a platform to bargain for a better price.

Over all, this entire process is quite energy sapping and if you think you are not upto it, it is always a better idea to employ a broker for sure. They come with loads of experience in handling such situations and are better equipped at getting you what you want, in terms of price of the property for sale.
