Sellers guide
If you have a property in Spain and would like to sell it in the current market be sure that you handle it correctly.
In the present times buyers know what they want and how much it is worth. They are in general much better informed than some years ago when prices kept rising every year, mortgages were easily obtained and there was not a problem in sight. Besides presenting your property in an attractive way you must have a realistic asking price. With the amount of property for sale it is easy for a potential buyer to make a short list of the best priced units of your urbanization/neighbourhood and leave out the unrealistically priced ones. Yes of course, you only need one buyer to pay your asking price, but can you afford to wait for that someone to come along and pay 10% more than your neighbours house. And more importantly, do you think those kind of buyers are still out there.
One way to achieve a more attractive price for your property is to cut out the real estate agent, who asks anything between 5 and 7,5% plus VAT commission over the realized sales price. This way your property will be better priced than your neighbours but it does not cost you anything. This is also something potential buyers know and more and more are looking for property direct from the owner. If you want to be found were the potential buyers are looking you can not afford not to be on the internet. That is where most potential buyers start looking, even the ones that end up buying through an agent.

list because if not you will not be found. Usually it takes Google between 2 to 4
weeks to actually find your ad, only after Google has found it, it can be displayed
in the search results. That is why at Direct-
