I want to sell my home: all the steps you need to take to make it a success

Selling the flat on your own

Selling the flat from owner to owner is a totally valid and possible option. If you opt for this route, you will have to take care of all the formalities to carry out the sale and purchase of the flat yourself. If you are wondering what are the steps I have to follow to sell a flat on my own, here we explain them to you:

• Valuing the flat to find out its selling price. There are several possibilities to know the market price of your flat. It is essential to establish a selling price in accordance with the price range of similar flats to make sure that you are not asking for too much money or, on the contrary, you are losing out. It will also vary depending on how much of a hurry you are in to sell the flat. If you need advice, an Inmoespígul manager can help you contact us. 

• Managing documents. You have to be clear about which documents are compulsory to formalise the sale and purchase, such as the certificate of habitability, the ITE certificate or the certificate of no debts with the community.

• Promote the sale of the house. You have to publicise the flat to attract potential buyers. Condition the flat to make it attractive with home staging, take photos of the property and publish an advert on different platforms such as real estate portals, social networks or in offline format using posters.

• Receive visitors. It is important to be attentive to all contacts of interest, to respond quickly and to take care of the presentation of the house when the visit is made. 

• Negotiate the offer and the conditions of sale. It is possible that the interested parties may propose a lower price than the one proposed. You must try to negotiate and get the best sale price. 

• Sign the earnest money or reservation contract. Once you have found the ideal buyers, you have to sign the earnest money contract, which serves as a reservation of the flat and a guarantee for both the buyer and yourself.

• Sign the deed in front of a notary. The last step to make the sale effective. 

Selling the flat with an estate agent

If you do not have time or you think that selling your home is a complicated process, a good option is to choose to go to a real estate agency to manage the sale of your flat.

Main advantages of selling your house to an estate agent

The estate agents are in charge of analysing the potential buyers of the property to find out if they have the necessary financial capacity to buy it. This is a very important step in order to avoid problems later on. 

During the sale process, there are many formalities to manage. If you have the services of a real estate agency, they will help you to manage the sales contract, mortgage application, documentation management and signatures…

Time is money, and selling a property takes a lot of time. Letting a real estate agency manage the whole process will save you a lot of headaches and will also allow you to save time to do what you really want to do.
