What strategy to adopt to sell?

To sell your house well, improvisation is not an option. Price, presentation of your property, advertisements, answers to visitors' questions... put all the chances on your side to sell your house at the best price. Here are the 5 steps of our real estate selling strategy.

Choosing an estate agent

Selling a property can be time consuming and requires availability. Two things that we sometimes lack. If you already feel that you are juggling your daily obligations, we strongly advise you to use the services of an estate agent. From putting together your file to signing the deed of sale, including visits, he or she will take care of everything. In addition, you benefit from his communication network and his expertise.

Of course, you can choose to sell your house privately. In any case, put all the chances on your side to sell well and follow our advice below.

Knowing market prices

Property prices vary according to the location, configuration and condition of the property for sale. Unless you are in an exceptional situation or property, you must respect the market price to hope to sell your property. To determine the right price for your house, you can have your property evaluated by a real estate expert. You can also find out the selling prices of flats with the same configuration as yours in your residence or in your neighbourhood. Take into account the various annexes, and enhance your garage or cellar at their true value.

Prepare all necessary documents for the sale

Preparing your visits is essential. You must answer all the questions that visitors may ask you. Energy performance, M², orientation, year of installation of the boiler, but also co-ownership charges... take the time to gather all this information to reassure the visitor about the state of your property and the amount of the usual charges.

Choosing where and how to advertise your property

If you are selling your house alone, you need to make sure that your property is visible. Make sure that you take good photos of your house or flat and write a real estate ad highlighting its assets. There is no need to publish your advert on all the general media or sales groups, but rather choose sites that are dedicated to real estate. The important thing is to get targeted visits and not to make everyone curious visit your property.

Your real estate agent will promote your property by publishing the ad on the agency's website, on real estate websites and sometimes even on social networks.

Enhancing your home

Don't wait until moving day to de-clutter! Get rid of the superfluous in order to make the most of the space. Do a major clean-up, make small repairs, make your garden look nice... A house that is well-maintained and easy to move around in will sell more quickly.

To make sure you sell your house at the right price, use a real estate agent. He or she will help you set the right selling price and assist you with negotiations and administrative procedures.
