Real estate tips for beginner sellers

There is a 1st time for everything, and so it is in the real estate world. If you are starting from scratch, with no knowledge or information about real estate and are interested in selling your property, at Athens Living we give you the tools to focus on some of the basics of selling before you go to the experts:

The image of the property

Before you list the property for sale, invest some time in preparing it. Phrases like "a picture equals 1000 words", "everything is the first impression" did not come out by chance.

The image you present must be particularly attractive!

If you want to improve the popularity of the house, prioritise the following:

Minor repairs of any type: A blemish, small or large, can be a serious deciding factor and prevent a deal from moving forward.

Painting: If you don't have the time to paint the entire house, consider painting the front door and entryway where first impressions matter or some key walls for highlighting and refreshing.

Space: Image, as mentioned above, is a catalyst. A professional zoning ordinance, as well as a corresponding professional photo shoot, can elevate the image of your property.

Find a real estate agent

You need to hire and trust the right real estate agent, who will act as your partner and guide you through the entire process of selling your property.

A real estate professional with experience and knowledgeable knowledge of real estate marketing is an indisputable choice.

Marketing Plan

As times change and technology continues to advance, online platforms and visual tools become more powerful, allowing buyers more and more information about a home or commercial space before they communicate.
Often, it's the photos that pique a prospective buyer's interest and motivate them to take the next step. That's why it's important to work with a real estate agent to take professional photos before putting your home on the market. Your real estate agent should have the expert knowledge and connections with professional photographers to produce images that resonate and appeal to potential buyers.

Stay available

While it is very difficult to be permanently available due to time and daily commitments, when you decide to sell a home, it is quite important as buyers can be volatile and time-constrained. So, if you prevent them from approaching you at any time, there is a good chance that they will move to another house in your area.
The home should create immediacy. The prospects have already offered much of their time inside, which is valuable. If you are not available to show your property, this is a serious issue and even a reason for not making a good deal!
