In a previous article, we have explained what were the most common mistakes when putting a house for sale. Among these, there is the lack of attention that many sellers put into presenting their property. Normally, we use the following example to illustrate this:
When you decide to sell your used car, you will not leave the children's toys or dirt generated by the last visit to the Mc Donalds, on the contrary, will clean it thoroughly, it will pass products on the plastic parts so that it shine, will pass the mechanical revision and It will put a subtle perfume. It makes sense, you want your car to look as attractive as possible to get the best price. To sell your house, you must do the same.
When we decide to sell our house, we think that it won’t be a great deal of effort and we can sell it by our own, but the reality is quite different.
To get started, we are united by an emotional bond with our house that can lead us to make mistakes. Firstly, is overvaluing the house because it probably has been our first house when we have had the best experiences of our life.
Secondly, is wanting to recover the value we paid when we bought the house and add it a benefit. Finally, we may want to buy a house and compensate her value with the sale of the house we already have.
In addition, it must be added the paperwork process which is carried out every time you make a purchase and sale transaction.
If you are considering selling your house, you should know that the success or failure of your sale depends on how and what you show.
We begin by a list with some mistakes we shouldn’t make when showing our house to potential customers:
With the arrival of the summer period, most take the opportunity to spend a few days or even a whole month away from home. It depends on whether you organize a trip or if you 'move' during that month to the house on the beach or you visit the town, our house goes to a 'second plane' and although we remember to leave everything closed, gas, windows, unplugged appliances, etc., any precaution is small, because precisely in these months, it is when thieves take advantage of more to be able to steal in our flats and houses, since they know that we are out and that it is the best moment to enter.
Is your home A, B, C or D? You still don't know what it means? We are talking about the energy certification of your home, the one that indicates the possibilities that your home offers in terms of energy savings, which will result in economic savings on your electricity and gas bills. This aspect is becoming increasingly important and has become a claim when it comes to buying homes. Here we tell you how to get your receipts reduced and why it is important to get the energy certificate to be A or B.
