How to Sell a House: 5 Things You Must Do Before Putting Your Property Up for Sale

Taking the decision to sell a house is an important step and, therefore, should not be taken lightly. All houses and properties are different, but these tips can make your experience easier.

Details Matter! What You Should Review Before Selling a House Your property can become someone's dream home... but it can also be their nightmare! For this reason, you must prepare the house before selling it. And it doesn't have to be expensive! First, perform a deep cleaning in every single space. Scrub windows, surfaces, and doors.

You will likely discover a few minor damages during the process. It could be a door that needs oil to stop sounding like something out of a horror movie. Or perhaps that leak you’ve been putting off since last year's rainy season. If you have a green area, plant colorful flowers and mow the lawn. Do not overlook a single detail! And after this process of cleaning, decorating, and repairing, don't forget to take out the trash.

Get Your House’s Affairs in Order When buying a house, the most common practice is to check the property registry and the corresponding municipality to ensure there are no pending issues. So, do it yourself first! Create a folder (either digital or printed) with the documents proving that everything is in order: blueprints, credit contracts, taxes, and more.

Prepare for a Photo Session Photos are probably one of the most important parts of the buying or selling process in real estate. Create a gallery of photographs and videos that allow your potential buyers to get to know the property as if they were there.

Pick a sunny day and walk through every space in your home. You can take the photos with a cell phone that has a good camera, using the "wide-angle" mode to show a broader view of each space. Take at least 10 photographs per room, using different angles and making sure your reflection is not visible in any photo. Then, choose the prettiest ones and create a folder.

The most frequent questions from those looking to buy a house concern the number of bathrooms, parking spaces, type of gate, and whether or not it has green areas. Make sure to include clear photographs of these spaces.

Let the Visits Begin! Pick a day of the week to show the house. Coordinate visits so that your potential clients have at least 1 hour to see the house and resolve all their doubts. Try to be accompanied and keep a record of your visitors: this will help you follow up with them if necessary.
