The most important things in brief

  • Plan your property viewing carefully. It is best to clock in interested parties at intervals of 30 to 45 minutes. It should be clear that the interest in the object is great.
  • Present your property in the best light. Opening the shutters and thorough airing beforehand are mandatory. If refurbishments have been carried out, you should have the relevant documents ready.
  • Let an experienced real estate agent support you when viewing the property. Because that’s how the sale is guaranteed.

The house inspection – thorough planning is essential

Thorough planning of your home inspection is essential to ensure that it is a success without any problems. Clock in interested parties at intervals of 30 to 45 minutes. They are welcome to see that the interest in the object is great. Feel free to emphasize that other people already have intentions to buy.

Present the object in the best light. True to the motto: “You never get a second chance to make a first impression”. Because the first impression often has a significant influence on a positive purchase decision. Ventilate thoroughly and open all shutters, mow the lawn and wash the windows.- Decorate your property as if you were inviting guests to a party or dinner. A beautiful bouquet of flowers, a good room scent and order ensure a positive sense of well-being. A perfect presentation down to the last detail leaves a positive impression. If necessary, furnishing the rooms (home staging) can also increase the purchase price.

 

Important questions and documents for your house inspection

Of course, potential buyers have a number of questions that you should be prepared for. These can relate to the age, the condition or the furnishings of the property. In any case, you should have the following documents ready:

  • The energy certificate, if available
  • Floor plans, construction plans and other documents about the property
  • Invoices for refurbishment or repairs
  • Assessment about the condition
  • Site map

By answering questions with certainty, you build trust and can quickly dispel doubts of prospective customers.

Real estate agents – the perfect help for a successful viewing

An experienced real estate agent is the perfect help for a successful viewing. They know exactly which documents are essential and what questions you need to ask yourself.
