Presenting Your Home

Our Top 10 Selling Tips

Special tips you should consider when presenting your home!

At AlgarveProperty.com, we believe that a strong marketing campaign is paramount to the overall goal of attracting the best purchasers, prepared to pay the best price in the shortest period. Our tailor-made marketing campaign will create so much competition amongst buyers that you can be confident that the best result will be achieved.

 

Presentation sells homes and gets top results. Just as we will present your home at its best to the public via our unbeatable marketing and advertising, you too can improve the saleability of your home by adopting some of our easy tips:
1. First Impressions are lasting ones. An inviting exterior ensures inspection of the interior. Keep the lawns trimmed, gardens neat, and paths and driveways in good shape.
2. A clean and tidy interior is important in helping sell a house; dirty walls, stained carpets or broken tiles, can seriously reduce the saleability of a home. Present your home at its best to achieve a top-selling price.
3. Repair that leaking roof or broken light switch. What looks to you as a minor problem, will seem like a major defect to a prospective buyer.
4. Welcome prospects with the glowing warmth of a well-lit home; during the day, keep drapes and blinds open and in the evening hours be sure the porch and all relevant interior lighting is on to create an intimate ambiance.
5. Mellow music in the background is soothing and pleasant, but loud radios and televisions may prevent good communication between the prospective buyer and our sales consultant and become an irritation, turn it off.
6. In winter, a nice warm home is most inviting and will often swing a sale.
7. Lock up your dogs and keep them out of the way and preferably out of the house. You may like them a lot, but potential buyers may dislike or even be afraid!
8. If possible, take your kids to the park and buy them some ice cream while your property is being presented to prospective buyers.
9. Do not follow our sales consultant around the property and refrain from making comments or get involved when he is doing the property presentation, he is following a professional plan and is concentrated. Buyers will feel more comfortable!
10. Remember you are employing us to help you with the sale of your property. We are experts, so let us do the job for you. We usually interview and qualify the prospective buyer: thus, we know what he/she wants, what to say, and the right time to say it. Preferably, leave the house during presentations or stay in the background; the potential buyer will feel more comfortable to make comments, ask questions and get involved.
We will guide you further when you list your property with AlgarveProperty.com.
