how to sell a flat or house quickly?

Browsing listings of flats and houses for sale, you are sure to come across some that have been "sitting" on property portals for many months, or even years. Usually the only thing done to sell them faster is to lower the price. But if you want to sell your property, you do not have to do that at all – on the contrary, by following our advice you can sell it faster and for a higher price.

Here are the things that will speed up the process of selling a flat!

1. Home staging

What is the easiest way to shorten the wait for a buyer? Show them that our flat is special! Home staging is a way of preparing a property so that it looks impeccable. It involves not only minor renovations, but also suitable interior decoration and the arrangement of objects. Besides significantly shortening the wait for a buyer, it can increase the value of the flat by as much as 10%.

2. Professional photo shoot

How many times have you seen a listing that looked interesting, but whose photos did little to make you want to buy the property? Photographs taken with a poor-quality phone camera are not the best possible choice. That is why it is worth investing in a professional shoot, thanks to which your flat or house can be promoted with well-lit, perfectly framed photos. As a result it will immediately attract more interest among buyers, which will speed up the sale. Combined with home staging, a professional photo shoot can raise the sale value of a flat by more than ten per cent.

3. Preparing the listing properly and posting it on property portals

What encourages people to buy a flat most is a well-prepared listing. You have already prepared the flat, you have the photos, you have the video. Now all you need to do is put it all on one of the listing portals and wait, right? Well, no. Many people fail to notice that we most readily browse listings that intrigue us, i.e. that have not only appealing photos or a video, but also an interesting description. As for listing portals: there are over 300 property portals in Poland, and over 60 of them are particularly active. Posting your listing on just one of them dooms it to failure from the outset. It is therefore worth devoting your own time to it or turning to specialists.

4. Online marketing

You have posted a listing for the sale of your flat or house on a portal and nobody is calling. In that case it needs to be promoted. The internet is now the main medium for property transactions – suffice it to say that today 95% of transactions begin with finding a listing online. Online marketing is not only making information available on the most important listing portals, but also promoting it online through social media, advertising services, and even creating a dedicated website for your property, which will show that it is special. The possibilities are endless!
