Easy isn’t it, go to your local estate agent, get them to find one for you? Sadly it is getting ever more complex. Before the internet people relied on local estate agents and local newspaper ads to sell or find a property to buy. This worked well, it was the way 99% of us purchased or sold a property 10 years ago, but times have changed so much.
Almost all estate agents now use the internet to advertise properties, websites such as Right Move or Find a Property (there are many of them) allow people to search for a property that meets their requirements. Every day thousands of these buyers are searching the internet for properties to buy, so wouldn’t it be good if you could also go direct to these property buyers?
Well there are ways, for example you can advertise privately on websites such as Gum Tree, you can also go direct to private property buyers (investors) who will make you an almost instant offer for your property – although at a discount to current market valuation. Some of these private buyers are “cash property buyers”, thus they are able to purchase in weeks and sometimes days.
If you want to maximise your sale price, and are prepared to wait, then the ideal buyer is a “home buyer”, it may sound obvious but this is someone who wants to buy as “their home” and most often this means they are buying with emotion as well as affordability. The greater the emotional commitment to buying your property the higher the price they will pay. So, when you sell, remember to hit the emotions, make them feel this is the property that meets their needs.
