As you know, the real estate market is more competitive than ever and there are hundreds of condos for sale in Durango so it’s safe to assume that you have poured over article after article, advice column after advice column citing the best ways to sell your condo.
These posts typically have the same information. For example, they will suggest getting a good agent that knows the condo market to really work for you, or hiring a professional stagger to make your place stand out or making sure it’s priced competitively.
Here’s a fresh take on the topic and perhaps some helpful tools you, the seller, can use to unload your property as quickly and as painlessly as possible.
1. Reach out to anyone and everyone you know to help get the word out. Just think! if your hundreds of friends and family members on Facebook tell one person each about a great property on the market, the offers will come rolling in. Don’t underestimate who they know or their willingness to help. Be sure not to limit your activity to Facebook alone. Sites like Twitter, Pinterest and even LinkedIn (if you’re relocating for a job) work well also.
2. Offer some incentives potential buys can’t pass up. We’re not just talking about closing costs either. Think of things from the buyer’s point of view. There’s nothing worse than getting excited about your newly purchased place, hiring movers, getting the utilities connected and then being slapped in the face with condo association dues. Consider paying the dues upfront for a few months or even a year if you are in the position to do so.
3. How many time has someone walked into an open house event and fallen in love with not only the space but the furniture too. Think about leaving that dining room table that fits perfectly in the nook or that shelf you had made for the bedroom. Little bonuses like that may make all the difference when trying to close a deal. Plus, you know you want all new pieces for your new home.
4. Open houses are excellent but can become boring and predictable. Jazz yours up a bit by hosting an actual get together with a few close friends. Have a few bottles of your favorite wines and some light desserts on hand. Better yet, fire up the grill. The energy in your condo will exude cozy comfort and your place will come alive. Potential buyers will imagine themselves hanging with their friends in their new pad instantly.
It could be tough to list your homes and condos for sale in Durango, but thinking outside the box helps. Be sure to put yourself in the buyer’s shoes and consider all the things you would want if the roles were reversed and the offers will pour in.
