10 TIPS TO SELL YOUR HOME FAST AND AT THE LARGEST PROFIT

As your home is your largest investment and selling your property in Hout Bay will probably be the largest decision you are going to make in your life, we have put together 10 tips that will help you and guide you through the process of selling your house, from appearance, to pricing your house correctly, to selecting the right agent, etc. etc.

Tip #3: Do Your Homework When You Are Setting The Price of Your Home

If you set the price of your Hout Bay property too high, you run the risk of not being taken seriously, not only by the prospective buyers, but also by the estate agents you have employed.

Your real estate might sit on the market for a long time and you could end up getting less than you want, or end up not selling.

Likewise, if you set the price too low, you might not ever achieve what you were hoping to achieve, and get a much less selling price.

Tip #4: If You Are Serious About Selling Your Home, Do Some Home Shopping Yourself

On a Sunday, go around and see some of the show houses for sale in Hout Bay. Take note of their appearance, the asking prices, and get a feel of the value that you think you would place on that home if you were a buyer.

Also remember that these Hout Bay houses will be in direct competition with your home. So if you are serious about selling, try not to price your property higher than the other properties in the neighbourhood.

Tip #5: Appearances Do Matter, So Make Them Count

It would be unwise to ignore the appearance of your home when putting it on the market.

Remember, when a buyer comes through, everything must be in tip top shape and looking good, etc. This will definitely engage with the buyers' emotional side.

Even if you have priced your Hout Bay house to sell, it is very important to make sure your appearance is good.
