Packaging Your Property For Sale
When prospective buyers look at a house, they are influenced by many subtle factors. Making sure these factors are working in your favor is what we refer to as “Packaging Your Property” for sale. And effective packaging can make a big difference to you.
There are two fundamental packaging issues you should be aware of when preparing your house for sale.
The personalization of your house
When considering a house for purchase, the buyer often visualizes what it would be like living there. If strong personal statements dominate the house, the buyer is less likely to feel comfortable, and therefore less able to visualize the property as his or her own.
Personal statements are reflected in many areas.
v Unusual wall colors or heavily patterned wallpaper.
v Heavy odors from pets, tobacco or cooking.
v Sounds of loud music or television.
v Noisy children or barking dogs.
v Strong political or religious statements.
v Unusual art or furnishings.
Any of the above may create a feeling that the house is dominated by someone else and may interfere with the buyer’s ability to “feel at home”.
The personalization of your house
Small details make big statements about the condition, or just as important the perceived condition of your property. A house that shows poorly as a result of an overgrown lawn, an area of peeling paint, or simply the smell of mildew, may create the overall feeling that the property has not been cared for. If your house leaves a buyer with this impression, it could cost you valuable time and money.
Things to Remember When Buying Bare Land
When buying bare land, you need to be sure that specific issues and potential pitfalls are effectively dealt with.
Such issues include: surveys, rights of way, access over open land, boundaries, water supplies, land drainage, planning controls, mines and minerals, tenancies, common land, re-development opportunities and resolving title problems.
If you are thinking about building on bare land, you will need to know where the nearest water supply line is located and what will it cost to run it to your property, or what drilling a well will cost? Where is the nearest power line and what will it cost to run it to your property? What will the cost be to prepare the site for building? What permits will have to be obtained?
Any transaction involving just part of the property raises important issues for splitting the owner's legal title. Other transactions related to a lease, easement for highway improvements, pipelines, cables or telecommunications masts may also involve bare land.
Let Ozark Gateway Realty assist you when you are ready to buy that piece of bare land, whether for a building site or just hunting land.
