I this time of ever more decreasing bank balances, halving of the shopping budget, and rationing of the gas and electric, if on top of all that you’re in the scary position of having to sell your home to keep your head above water the action you take in the next few month could dictate few years of yours and your families lives.
No one can write anything on the internet and guarantee you a Shaw fire way to sell your home, but what we can do is give you the best advice and try to put you in the position to sell your home.
My philology when selling property is very simple the more people who know your home is for sale the more likely you are to receive offers and there after get that all important sale, so that being said you need to look at the way you market your property.
There are many different way to market a property and if you are in the unwanted position of have to sell you owe it to your self and every one within your house hold to explore every option available to you.
Let take it as read that you have completed all major and minor repairs, that your home decoration will appeal to the broadest market, painted and decorated in neutral colours, remember what we are doing here is trying to get people to view you home you must be sure that once they get to your home it is nicely presented. Look here for tips when papering your home for a sale.
A year ago in the good times it was a seller market so the need to take extra measure would had fell to the people who wanted to sell there home them self, save on commission fees not get tie down in sole sellers contract, these are the same techniques that we are going to be speaking about in this article.
Estate agent
An estate agent is always useful especially in these times (boy do they need the business), you should be on your agent's case make sure your agents are marketing your property to the largest market possible. Be sure that your property is advertised on the internet and that it has been circulated to all there partners, it is important to make sure your agent is doing all they can to push your property try to keep a good working relationship as people are willing to go that extra mile for someone they have a soft spot for.
If you do not have a contract that ties you to just one agent, it's always a good idea to enlist the services of more than just one estate agent; this can give your property greater exposure. Always check your contract first and if it dose prevent you for doing this you can try to renegotiate the contract with the agent concerned.
Going out on your own
Remember the person for who it most important to achieve a sale is you and your family, so you need to do all you can to get your property to as many people as you can this can be done in many different ways.
From this point I will be under the assumption that you need your property sold sooner rather that later so with that in mind use every resource available you, advertising in local news papers can help to boost circulation, there are plenty of free papers around and should not be over looked, people looking for a new home always check the classifies, along with your local paper you also have the major one like the Loot and exchange and mart, some of them may have a small fee to advertise but in the long run it could pay for it self if it return a sale.
people will use the local news agents and what were doing here is trying to drum up interest, we must look at any avenue that’s open to us, if you stared a new business no stone would be left unturned when it comes to advertising.
If you do decide to advertising in a shop windows it would have been a pointless exercise if it's stuck some were in the corner, try to have it placed prominently in the middle of the window and at eye level also try to make it a eye catching design so people notice it maybe using the computer to produce it as apposed to the standard card that the shop keeper would supply.
There are many different ways to advertise your property on the internet if you are with a good agent it should already be on there. as I mentioned earlier in this article as long as you have a good working relationship between you and your agent they should be doing all they can to market your property there for it should then be all over the web.
There are other places to advertise property on the web and all these avenues must be utilized. The internet has its fare share of classified sites where property can be advertised, all the major papers that you would buy in your local shop should have a website. I would suggest that if you add your house to one of the major papers enquire about adding to both the paper and the website at the same time.
There are many more classifieds than you would ever on the net, so be careful when adding a listing to these sites, most of the are free but make sure that your listing will be shown in the country where people will be interested in your property remember its the world wide web, you most try your best to target your the market who may have a interest in your property to obtain the best results.
A good way to create interest in your property could be to add it to one of the FSBO (For sale by owner) sites, a number of people have been marketing there homes there self for some time now, it can bring many benefits one that can make your mouth water is not having to pay out the commission fee to an estate agent. With sites like UploadAproperty becoming more and more prominent and with there nominal one of fees it could be a smart move.
This may or not be helpful social networking sits, while browsing through the web a couple of weeks ago I came across Orkut Google’s own social networking site, I typed property in the and pressed search and there it was people selling property, I haven’t research this enough to endorse it but you want to take a look your self, have a poke around and see what you come up with.
I don’t no of your position weather you have to sell or just want a change of environment, what ever your reason you must not rely on one source to market your property, it is always better to take control of your marketing and explore ever avenue available to you
