Before selling a home yourself in Montreal, there are a few things you should know. Our latest article shows you how to make the right decision before trying to sell a house yourself.
Many owners believe they can advertise AVPP, and in fact, they can. However, the costs, time and effort involved in the sales process are often far greater than they realize. As a rule, agents are able to find buyers who pay better than owners who sell themselves, but sellers must pay them substantial commissions, in addition to other selling and administrative costs. If you choose to sell your property yourself in Montreal, here are a few costs to be aware of!
Promotional costs
If you want to sell your home yourself, you’ll need to evaluate the costs and choose the promotion method that suits you best. You can rent billboards, produce printed materials, advertise online, organize an open house, and much more. You don’t have to do it all, but if you want to sell quickly in Montreal, you’ll have to work hard to get the word out about your property.
Questions to answer
If you’ve promoted your property properly, you’ll get plenty of calls from potential buyers. You’ll have to screen calls, answer questions and make appointments with people who want to visit the property. That’s a lot of work, especially if you’ve done a good job of promoting the property.
Visits
We hope that as many potential buyers as possible will want to visit your home. For these visitors, you’ll need to make sure the house is clean and tidy at all times, just in case. Also, many sellers decide to buy a few decorative items and do a little home staging to make the property more attractive. In many cases, it’s necessary to call in a professional cleaning team to optimize the look of the house. If you’re in charge of promoting your property, you’ll need to free up your schedule to show potential buyers around at a time that’s convenient for them. You’ll also need to be careful not to get defensive when people comment on your home.
The cost of the work
Work often ends up costing a lot of money for people hoping to sell quickly in Montreal. You’ll need to fix all those little things you’ve overlooked over the years, in addition to any major work you may want to do to increase the value of the house. In fact, potential buyers often ask for even more work to be done after receiving an inspector’s report.
Legal responsibilities
If you decide to sell a home in Montreal yourself, you’ll be responsible for ensuring that the sale is legally valid. From contracts to escrow accounts, you’ll need to take care of everything, and make sure that everything is done thoroughly and accurately.
Deadlines
If you decide to advertise your Montreal home for sale on the market, selling can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months. The worst thing about this system is that, after waiting all this time, the sale may slip through your fingers, due to a low valuation for example. Selling on the traditional market offers no guarantee of selling before a certain date. This means you’ll have to live with uncertainty for the next few months. By selling directly to the Vendre Maison Vite team, you can close your sale in just a few days.
