Following on from our recent articles, here’s some more great ideas to help you stand out from the crowd.
Be Prepared For Item Requests
In the current buyer’s market, more and more potential buyers are looking to leverage more out of each purchase of a property. Often you will be requested to include things in the sale of the house, specific items of extra additions. Your ability to deal positively with these request can often make or break a potential sale, so be open to suggestions and negotiations. Before marketing your home, you should be aware of all the items in the property that you are willing to make a part of the sale, and what you are willing to include, and what items you are wanting to take with you.
Selling with Warranties
You may want to consider selling your properties with certain warranties included. Home warranties can be bought by sellers for a minimal fee. Selling your home with a warranty can increase your saleability value, and this is also a good idea for any of your older appliances, cookers, boiler units and so forth. It gives the buyers some peace of mind, and allows them to go into the sale with a positive outlook, and good expectations. It also creates good will between you and the buyer.
Be Willing to Negotiate
In the current climate, the offers you receive may be well below your asking price, or expectations. You don’t need to respond to a low offer in a negative way. If it is low, you can see it as an opportunity to open negotiations. You can drop your asking price by a small percent, and you can take it from there - your reduction is an offer to engage in negotiations.
Alternatives to Help the Buyer
If you don’t want to lower your asking price, what else can you do? Well, you can offer to pay for the closing costs, or legal fees for the purchase of the house. This can be the difference between a sale of no sale - all helping you to make a difference when dealing with potential buyers.
