Top tips on how to sell your house quickly - direct this week from a seller based in Sydenham, London.
I was talking yesterday to a friend who had recently sold his two bedroom flat in Sydenham, london. Once the estate agent had advertised his property on their website, there were 7 or 8 couples who were interested in coming to see the property. He wisely chose to have something of an open house (as recommended in other top tips on our site) over the weekend, and there were overlaps with people coming and going.
Create a Buzz
He even commented that this created a bit of a buzz, and other buyers saw that there were other people interested in the property, and he felt like he was in demand! A nice feeling, and let people know that is was an interesting place, was a good price, and represented good value to a number of people.
Sell it Yourself
Before anyone arrived, he had painted the hallway, and a couple of the rooms, as they were looking a bit tired and scuffed. He also painted the front door, so it looked bright and fresh. My friend actually showed all the potential buyers round - and the estate agent never bothered to show up! So he put in all the work to sell the house himself - showing the potential buyers around, chatting and building rapport with the potential buyers.
Over that weekend, he met the couple who were going to turn out to be the eventual buyers. He showed them around the flat, let them see all the great features, and let them wander around and have a look for themselves. It was a simple, easy going experience, and he found himself enjoying trying to sell the property. What did the estate agents do? Not very much..in fact, all they did was advertise the property on their website!
Save Yourself Thousands!
The house eventually sold for £200,000 - and the agent received their fee of 1.5% - £3000. Not bad for uploading some files to a site. Why not save yourself the cash, and advertise yourself, on www.sell-my-house-quick.com? It’s easier than you think - upload your files and find out!
