Selling Property: Asking the Professionals

Making your property attractive is the 1st step you need to take if you want it to get sold. And in order to attract attention and to make your home more memorable, you may consider adding  custom designs such as landscaping, high-grade windows, or a new roof. Improving commercial or residential property aesthetics not only increases home attractiveness to buyers, it also adds market value to the home.

There are two possible ways on how you could sell residential property. First, auction by nature creates urgency as there is a definitive time in which the buyer must act or they risk losing their opportunity in buying or selling property. Setting an auction date, groups all interested buyers together at the one time, creating a competitive environment and the greatest chance to achieve the highest possible price. Second, sale of residential properties by private treaty requires the seller to set a price from the beginning of the campaign. Your agent can help you with this process. Many sellers have a tendency of initially setting a higher price as they think buyers are likely to negotiate the price down.

The rules of the game change when it comes to selling a commercial property. The biggest difference lies in the way each is valued. Far more weight is put on the income of a commercial property, whereas residential property values are generally determined by neighboring comparable sales. Income on commercial property is directly related to its usable square footage. That's not the case with individual homes. You'll also see a bigger cash flow with commercial property. The math is simple: you'll earn more income on multifamily dwellings, for instance, than on a residential property.

Know also that commercial property leases are longer than on residential property. On the other hand, in residential property, make sure a full detailed financial appraisal is undertaken, precisely identifying the likely gross revenue of the scheme the property could accommodate, total costs and level of profit expected by the market.

By and large, finding and evaluating commercial and residential properties is not just about farming neighborhoods, getting a great price, or sending out smoke signals to bring buyers to you. It takes great skills to sell a home. If you don’t have what it takes, never hesitate to seek the help of professional real estate agents as they will make your sale a lot easier.
