If you want to sell your home quickly and without resorting to the services of a real estate agency to save on management expenses and a juicy commission, this is your article. Yes, although you don't believe it, it is possible to do it without resorting to a professional service and, in addition, getting a great price, but you have to take into account certain aspects that we are going to tell you. Shall we start?

Best tips to sell your home quickly

Before starting, you should bear in mind that selling a flat takes, on average, between 3 and 9 months. The longer it takes, the more likely it is to affect its final price, so it is interesting to do it as soon as possible. Let's see how to achieve it.

1. Valuing the property

A fundamental aspect, since to sell something, you have to know the market price it has. If an excessive value is set, the buyer will know it, because they are informed, while if the price is low, we will be losing money.

To determine the real value of the property, it's best to put yourself in the hands of a professional who will determine its market price based on parameters such as its condition, location, and sale prices of similar properties in the surrounding area. The result of this management will allow you to know the margin you can move in to set its price and sell your home quickly.

2. Updated documentation

To be able to sell the apartment, it will be necessary to have the property documentation updated. Think that if this is not the case and you reach a purchase agreement, you will not be able to carry out the operation and the delays that may arise will negatively affect its sale. Do not give the buyer time to back out once they are willing to make the transaction.

Another powerful reason is that many buyers want to check with the property documentation if everything is in order. To do this, have the deeds ready, a property document and certificates such as community or energy certificates. All of them will be valid when proceeding to the purchase and sale before a notary and finalizing the operation as soon as possible.

3. Renovation

Many people think that why renovate the property if it's going to be sold. Nothing could be further from the truth: think you're the buyer; would you prefer a flat that needs to be completely renovated, even if it costs less, or one that's already ready to move in without extra expenses? Most people opt for the latter for several reasons: because it 'looks' better, because maybe they don't have a healthy economy and will only be able to afford financing for the purchase and not for renovations, or simply because they're not interested in getting into construction work.

This doesn't mean you're going to spend a fortune to make it look new; repairing the damage, remodeling the kitchen and bathrooms a bit, repainting, and details like having security locks installed are aspects that future buyers appreciate, value, revalue a property and allow you to sell your home quickly and for a higher price.

4. Cleaning

Cleaning is essential, above all, to generate a first positive reaction in potential buyers. At the same time, make sure it is well ventilated and, if possible, tidy, ambiented and fragranced, a good initial feeling is worth two!

5. Decoration

There is a trick used by expert real estate agencies called home staging. In essence, it is about preparing the atmosphere of the home to be comfortable and harmonious for potential buyers. It consists of a depersonalization of the space by removing personal items, such as photos and paintings before the presentation, to offer a neutral image of the rooms and the characteristics of the property. The first thing a buyer imagines is how the house would be according to their tastes and seeing family photos or personal objects of the seller can distort their expectations.

6. Other aspects

This subtitle is called that because we find it interesting to talk about other types of things that are part of the dynamics of selling a house. For example, security and other technological innovations. Yes, unfortunately, visiting a property with criminal intentions is something that happens and can be avoided in many ways. It doesn't have to happen, but it's better that when you meet someone to see the apartment, you make a video call first to make sure you're opening the door to the right person or, if not, ask for their ID as a security check.

On the other hand, one of our Raixer locks can be used to give the house an added security, something that also increases its value. It is very easy to install and, apart from having all the necessary components for security, it works with an independent 3G connection; so you don't need to have a Wi-Fi connection to use it.

Keep in mind that, in order to sell your home quickly, you must add amenities and positive aspects, and surely with the advice we have given you, you will gain a good predisposition on the part of future buyers to make the operation as soon as possible and with the best possible price.
