Steps to sell your house fast and at the best price

Selling a house is an important decision that involves a series of steps and considerations to ensure that it is done in the fastest and most profitable way. And in the following lines we detail precisely the essential aspects to follow in case you want to sell your property in a fast and safe way, without giving up a good price.

What should I know before selling a house?

Before starting the process of selling your house, you have to take into account a series of considerations:

Evaluation of the real estate market

Before listing your home for sale, it is crucial to have a clear understanding of the local real estate market, which, if not already available, should be provided by an expert real estate agent such as those at HOFFMANN. This includes:

·    Market trends. Current market trends will determine the economic performance of the sale. Your real estate agent, who will have the skills and tools necessary to thoroughly understand the state of the market at the time of the sale, can inform you about current market trends.

·     Comparable properties. One of the main tools to know the state of the real estate market is to compare properties of similar characteristics sold in the area of the property to be sold. These "comps", as they are known in real estate agencies, are a good reference.

·       Time on the market. Your agent will also be able to tell you the estimated time on the market. Some sellers are in a hurry to close the transaction, while others cannot wait any longer to close the sale.

Valuation of the property

Determining the right selling price is critical. A professional appraisal helps to establish a competitive price. For that, it is taken into account:

·      The professional appraisal. Agencies such as HOFFMANN offer an appraisal service that allows you to obtain, without intermediaries, a professional valuation of the property.

·      Adjust the price according to performance expectations. Considering that a price that is too high may deter buyers, it is important to find a balance between the seller's timing and the economic performance of the sale.

Condition of the property

The condition of the property significantly influences its value. For that reason, it is convenient to take into account:

·      The repairs and improvements that the house may need. Fixing any structural or functional problem of the house is basic. Do not be afraid to make aesthetic improvements, such as painting or updating the kitchen and bathrooms, to improve the appearance and the economic performance of the sale.

Documentation in order

Having all documents in order is essential for a smooth sale. It is necessary to have:

·       The deeds of the apartment. Make sure all ownership documents are up to date and in order.

·       The necessary licenses and permits. In case of reforms or extensions, it is of vital importance that everything is done in accordance with current legislation and permits are in order.

·       Proof of payment of taxes. It is also important to prove that the house has no pending charges.

What steps must be followed to sell a house?

The first thing is to prepare the house. If it is not going to be furnished, a depersonalization process must begin, which is carried out by removing personal belongings and objects. The house has to be seen in a sober way, so that the potential buyer can see if the distribution and spaces fit with what he really wants in his project.

It is clear that cleanliness and order are essential when you are going to visit the apartment, so you have to keep an eye on the maintenance of the house while looking for a buyer.

The great thing about using an agency like HOFFMANN is that our team are experts in what is known as "home staging", acting as hosts for visitors looking to see the house. In essence, the sale of a home consists of the following steps:

·       Making the decision to sell.

·       Search for a real estate agency.

·       Appraisal and elaboration of economic strategy.

·       Disclosure and promotion of the property.

·       Formalization of the sale.

Although some owners prefer to do the sale themselves, they do not have the scope or the necessary tools to guarantee a transparent process. At HOFFMANN, we take care of appraising the property and setting an ethical and reasonable sale price, adjusted to its real value and the client's needs.
