For most people who have sold their property it can be one of the most stressful life experience that they encounter leaving many people in disappear. We have all heard horror stories were buyers have either pulled out at the last minute, or dropped their price at the very last minute leaving the seller in a situation were they may be forced in to taking a substantial drop in price.
Tip 1- Don't overprice yourself out of the market-
One of the most difficult things we face as a homeowner trying to sale our property is detaching ourselves from our home. In many cases sellers have often experienced priceless life, family experiences throughout their years living at their home which tends to cloud their judgement when it comes down to selling it. This usually leads home sellers to turn down perfectly good offers made as they believe their home is worth a lot more than it actually is.
Tip 2- Never sign a sole selling agreement-
If you plan to sell your property the conventional way through an estate agent, you may come across one of these agreements which most agents would gladly have you sign. I warn you this does virtually nothing for you as a seller but gives the agent all the power they need. Basically for those who don't know if you as a seller have signed a sole selling agreement your estate agent would be the only one with the right to sell your home. If you find a buyer yourself then you will still have to pay the agents commission.
Tip 3- Don't let a few hundreds pounds stop you selling your property-
I see and hear it happen all the time sellers who go backward an forward for the sake of a say 500 now don't get me wrong 500 is not to be sniffed out however if you are trying to sell a property valued at the UK average of 220,000.00 you must be flexible in your price if you want to achieve a quick successful sale.
Tip 4- Don't Let your emotions get the better of you-
Along time ago I was once told by my now business partner that selling & buying property regardless of whether you aim to live in it or rent it out is just a simple business transactions. Often people let their emotions get involved and all common sense goes out of the window, once you take full control of yourself and look at the sale of your home as a business sale you will find that your actions are more deceive & accurate.
Tip 5- Avoid dealing with timewasters-
Now if you are selling your property through the traditional methods ie an estate agent, you will find that this option is virtual impossible as you usually have no way of actually avoid time wasters until they decided to waste your time by dragging their heels at the last moment. However if you are selling or plan to sale privately you will find that you are in total control of the deal if you are approached by a buyer who says that they can buy your property. Ask them how they plan to purchase if they say mortgage ask to see their mortgage offer in principle although this does not mean they can guarantee to buy your property especially when leaders are running out of cash at least it shows you that they are credit worthy and all being well they will be able to buy your property.
