- everything you need to know if you want to sell a home -
1. Broker Choice
Find a real estate agent with sufficient knowledge of your neighborhood and the market prices.
An NVM broker has transaction prices of recently sold comparable homes. It is then important that there is a click and you have the idea that he will do his best.
2. Determine asking price
The asking price is of decisive importance. If you ask too much or too little, you can get the wrong target group over the floor. The strategy that works can differ per type of home and location.
The local estate agent can best estimate this.
3. Prepare for sale
Make sure your house looks tidy. Touch up (kit) edges, tidy up everything, make it spacious and ensure an optimal layout.
4. Reach target group - home promotion (presentation / publicity plan)
The more home seekers you reach, the greater the chance of viewers/buyers.
Funda is of course a super medium and it can also be useful to approach targeted searchers through a broker.
5. Viewings
Plan viewings consecutively as much as possible. Once someone starts bidding, you don't want to wait for viewings that aren't scheduled until days later.
Show people around without getting in the way and point out the plus points that may not immediately be noticed by the viewer.
Also make sure you know what comparable homes are for sale or have recently been sold and what the differences are, in case this comes up or is deliberately worth mentioning.
6. Negotiation and Purchase Agreement
Negotiating is a profession. Make sure you know what the house is worth compared to other houses, so that you can use those arguments.
Furthermore, it is a matter of tactics, what you start with and want to end with and how you can best work towards that.
Try to figure out if you're alone or have competition to determine how quickly you need to move forward.
In addition to the offer, make sure that you also clearly include the terms and conditions in the negotiation and that they are then also correctly incorporated into the purchase agreement.
7. The transfer
It is customary to conduct an inspection prior to the transfer. You can go through the house again to see if everything is as seen and bought before and if everything works.
If not, you can still make arrangements for the transfer
