Five tips to sell your Costa Blanca home easily

You want to sell your property on the Costa Blanca but panic is setting in because you:

• Don’t know the legal process of selling in Spain
• Haven’t a clue where to find potential buyers
• See Sold signs on so many properties - except your own!

Don’t waste your time and money stressing about selling your property in Spain. The team at VillaMia estate agent says property sales in Jávea are better than ever and they’ve put together these top tips to help you sell your home.

• Make sure the price is right 

  Before putting your property on the market, check what other similar properties in the area have sold for. Over-pricing could mean your property is on the market for longer. Many estate agents offer a no-obligation valuation service to tell you what your property is worth.

• Get paperwork ready before you sellEstate agents can help with any legal requirements such as getting an energy certificate. Also, if you find out there are any infractions or embargos, it is always better to sort this out at the start.

• Create a good first impressionMake your property look appealing with:
  • fresh paintwork
  • clean walls, tiles, floors and windows
  • a tidy garden
  • no rubbish or clutter, so potential buyers can picture themselves living there.

• Promoting your propertyA sales board outside can help attract buyers and passing trade. VillaMia will also promote it across portals, social media and printed publications.

• Make sure your home is accessibleMake it as easy as possible for estate agents to make appointments with house-hunters by keeping your schedule as open as possible. Remember that if your home isn't shown, it will be harder to sell and the agent will have alternative properties to show potential buyers. If the agent can have a key, this will help.
