SHOULD I SELL MY PROPERTY ONLINE?

There are two ways you can take when selling a property. The first is to hire a real estate agent to do the work for you. You sit back, relax and let the real estate agent find the buyer for you. He will handle all the paperwork too. However, real estate agents demand a commission fee once the sale has been made. Of course, you have to pay for their services.

The other way is to simply do the selling yourself. Some think this is a simple thing to do.  If you have a computer and an internet connection, selling a property online can be done alone. OR NOT. Without proper knowledge on how the real estate market works, you may end up losing money instead of gaining it. Yes, it is better to utilize the Internet to sell a property --- but it is still best to do it with the help of a trusted real estate agent.

Here are the advantages of selling a property online:

ü  Inexpensive. Posting your own ads online is actually cheaper than posting ads in the real world. There are plenty of real estate property sites that offer their services for free. You just have to pay a little if you want some upgrades to your account. Posting your online ads enables you to reach a wide audience. Plus, once your ad is up, everyone can take a look at it anytime and wherever they are.

ü  More attention. Since you can reach a wider audience easier, you will receive more attention too. And you will get this attention without even spending much on advertising in newspapers or real estate classified ads. You’re just sitting back and waiting for people to contact you.

ü  Less work. Turn on your computer, connect to the internet, find a website to advertise in and that’s it. This is significantly less work than getting an advertisement offline. In real estate sites, they already have a template to work with, so you pretty much just fill all the information need and upload the photos.

ü  Direct contact. People who are interested in buying your property can directly contact you. Without a middle man, it hastens the business transaction as questions and inquiries will go directly to you.
