Property is your priced commodity and selling it poses many technical difficulties. A home may be sold for different reasons, whatever be the reason, profit should be the outcome. A few years of property investment should give a handsome gain.

Before you sell property in Croatia, fixing a reasonable price is very important. A price can be set with several options like using a professional evaluator for the property or you can settle for an ongoing price after checking with neighboring properties being sold recently or just give the specifications and go for online evaluation. Whatever be the means, pricing is a significant factor while going for a sell. Property should never be higher priced as it might chase away buyers, nor it should be priced low, as unwanted doubts about the property might arise leading to the stagnant property.

There are two ways of selling property

• Use a real estate agent
• The primary route is to go for a reputed real estate agent. It is the most established and highly used route to sell the property. Before putting a property for sale the following items should be kept ready.
• Make a list of prospective buyers and send details of a property to them.
• Take photographs of your property to show to the buyers so that they get an idea of the property they are going to deal with.
• Select an appropriate time for each prospective buyer to view your property. Keep in mind to select a different time for different buyers.
• Inquiries through phone or in-person should be handled courteously.
• Assist the agent in negotiating the price. Never leave everything to the discretion of the real estate agent.
• While opting for real estate agents a straight five percent commission is struck never to forget the VAT. A major demerit of real estate agents is they are always interested in striking the deal as early as possible and getting away with their commission. In the process, they normally compromise the deal in the favour of the buyer. They may at times even coerce you into an unrealistic transaction.

Private selling of property

Another option is going for private selling. This is more lucrative as you can save on unwanted commissions you pay to the real estate agents. There are two options to sell property privately - one is to go for 'property for sale signs' outside the property to be sold and the second is for online sales.

The decision to go for private selling involves a little bit of homework. An attractive signboard should be placed on the property to be sold. It should possess your contact numbers to enable the customer to reach us immediately. Ensure that the number is in working condition to avoid losing customers. Once the necessary plans are laid, spread the word in the market through friends, relatives, and neighbors. Make sure most of the people in the locality are aware of the sale.

To sell property it is always best to opt for private selling as it has the merits of handling the buyer straight. You can feel the pulse of the buyer and negotiate accordingly. Real estate agents at times may gamble between the seller and the buyer and make a profit in between. To overcome such situations it is best to opt to sell property privately.
