5 Key Points

Bet on First Impressions

Studies show that a buyer forms their opinion on a property in the first 90 seconds of their visit. Besides the general condition of the property, there are still details that could help improve that first impression. It is therefore crucial to make the house as pleasant as possible for the buyer: the smell, cleaning, storage space, the conservation status or brightness, are details that make all the difference. In this context, the experience of our agents will be an asset as we are connoisseurs of home staging techniques that allow you to prepare a property in order to make it more attractive to potential buyers. According to some American studies, properties that were previously prepared with this technique were sold, on average, twice as fast.

Fixing the Right Price

Many owners associate stories and personal experiences to their property, with a tendency to overvalue affective issues. Entering the market at an unrealistic price, the property is automatically limited in comparisson to others. On the other hand, setting too low a price can be counterproductive because it may raise the suspicion that there is something wrong with the property and it could therefore be a less secure investment.
