Sale of apartments - very serious and troublesomea business. Everyone wants the process to be accomplished without the hassle and dirty tricks, with the benefit for both sides, because in this matter a serious approach is important. What can I recommend to owners who put up a house for sale?
First, study the market and determine the amount,which you want to get for an apartment. It is best to invite an expert - a professional realtor - to evaluate the market value, who will be able to inform you about the price policy in the real estate market in your region today. Do not rush and rush into the first office you find, ask friends who have ever sold or buy a house, let them advise you which agency of real estate should be contacted. Having chosen an agent, consult with him, it is probably better to make cosmetic repairs in the sold apartment, so, having spent a little on materials, you can raise the price. Try not to overstate the cost, but to listen to the realtor, this will increase the likelihood of finding real buyers. If potential customers are asked to slightly reduce the price of an insignificant amount, do not give up, bargaining in such transactions is quite appropriate.
When showing an apartment, try not to praise hercompulsively, after all the buyer and so will see, the planning, habitation condition and other parameters approach to it or not. Very rarely, the first people who came to the site agree to the purchase, so adjust to what will be your possessions to many future owners. Even if in words you have agreed with one of them about the sale, you should not stop showing, and, moreover, transfer documents to someone else's apartment until a pledge is made and the transaction is not registered with a notary.
When the buyer is found, talk to him about the formpayment: cash or bank transfer. The safest option is transferring funds to your bank account. Then you will not need to recalculate and check the money, and the check for authenticity in banking institutions, among other things, is paid. If you still decided to cash, be sure to insist that the entire amount was tested for , you may be able to negotiate withbuyer that pay this procedure in half. The deal must necessarily take place in the presence of a realtor, it will be better if you also be accompanied by a person whom you trust, in order to avoid cases of fraud.
