NOW is the time to sell your house in Spain and in this week's blog we give you the HOW.
THE DO NOTS
Do not overprice your home!
A huge part of the process of selling a house in Spain is deciding on a selling price. We have seen clients lose many months and thousands of €'s by setting the price too high.
Do not pick the first agent you see!
Picking the wrong agent can be costly and stressful. Checktheir credentials and reviews. Don't pick an agent just because they offer a reduced commission. Good Estate agents will earn their commission.
Do not cut corners!
Investing in some repairs and a lick of paint is going to save you time and money.
Do not be Un-prepared!
It is important to understand the costs, fees and taxes, associated with selling your spanish property.
Do not get too emotional!
It's a business transaction and its better to keep your emotions out of it.
Do not put it on the market unless you are 100% sure!
It is frustrating for everyone if at the last minute, you change your mind.
