Selling a property requires a series of steps that must be taken in an orderly manner, without haste and in accordance with local law.

A process that does not have to be complicated if you rely on good advice from professionals in the sector;  without a doubt the best decision you can take to ensure a successful sale.

Steps to follow to successfully sell your home

The wish of the vast majority of owners is to sell their property quickly, at the best market price and with all possible guarantees. Do you want this too? We tell you how!

1. Prepare all necessary documentation properly

In order to be able to put a house on the market, it is necessary to have all relevant documentation up-to-date, such as, for example, the transfer deeds of the house, the habitability statement and the energy certificate. Without this you cannot put your house up for sale.

2. Choose a real estate agent specialized in the area

Having an in-depth knowledge of real estate sales in the area is essential to be able to convey all the benefits of the area to the prospective buyer.

Knowing all the ins and outs of the area, being able to make recommendations regarding home ownership on the Costa Brava, conveying the strengths of the place.

At Porfinca we have been selling real estate on the Costa Brava for over 23 years. We are absolute connoisseurs of the area and a large part of our success stems from that. And this is crucial because a large part of our customers is strongly internationally oriented.

3. Determine a market-conform price

By constantly analyzing the current market, we can determine a fair price for the house. And if a property is offered for a fair price, it has a good chance of selling quickly. On the other hand, if we bet on a higher price with the intention of making more profit, the house may not be eligible to a potential buyer audience, as they will find a comparable property at a lower price.

A realistic price allows us to sell your property earlier.

4. Ensure implementation of a coherent marketing plan

Implementing a good marketing plan will help boost sales: good photos, presence in the main real estate portals, publication of advertisements in different languages ​.

5. Invest in proper maintenance of your home

It is essential to draw attention to the good condition of the house. By presenting your property in an attractive and well-maintained way, we can arouse the buyer’s interest.

Painting the walls, repairing defects, arranging the rooms, decorating the garden, getting rid of personal belongings … all this will help to make the interested party feel better and justify the price. It will also make it easier for the buyer to project themselves into the house.
