Don’t be in a rush to sell

We understand you are in crunch time to sell but cultivate some awareness. Don’t be in a rush to sell. Real estate agents are looking to exploit that emotional vulnerability.

Your property sells itself

If you are selling property that’s in good condition, it will sell itself – whether it is an apartment, an office, land, or a commercial building.

You may need the services of a professional agent to sell your house or apartment but in hindsight, the quality-status of your property, plus the pricing are the driving forces that sell your house or land.  

Improve the value of your property

Do any necessary repairs.  Replace broken fixers. You could even do the complete paint job.  There are many creative ways to improve the value of your property.

Work with a professional marketer

Most likely, you will want to engage the services of a real estate agent to assess the correct value of your property before you put it up for a listing.

While it is possible to sell your property without hiring an agent, the procedure can be demanding. Unless you have some sales marketing skills and you are knowledgeable about the local real estate market, you are better off hiring a professional.

You could build well-furnished apartments on private land, but there is no guarantee that the units will sell soon after completion. You could even list the units at an affordable price but still, the buyers will not come.

Do proper valuation of your property

Property valuation is yet another critical factor to put into consideration.

Your property could be worth more than Ksh. 1,000, 000 but you end up listing it for around Ksh.500, 000 after meeting the first prospective buyers.

After factoring in home improvements and everything, your property could be worth more than your estimated value. Some lands in developing areas appreciate with time.  That piece of land you want to sell could be worth more than the current value you have attached to it.

The goal is to set a favorable asking price for the buyers. Buyers will move on if you over-value your property.

You are better off hiring a professional realtor to navigate this stage. Once you do a property evaluation, your next step will probably to adopt a practical advertising strategy.
