Seven Golden Rules For Selling A House...

 

The Country Life spoke to Britain's top country house agents to get their advice on how to sell a country house – from presentation and security to tricks and tips on finding the right audience for potential buyers. Here are 7 golden rules they put together which applies to all home sellers or developers.

  1. Find an agent you trust, and get them on board as soon as you can.

  2. Get your house the widest and best possible audience.

  3. Make sure the price is right. An agent who prices your house right can save you a lot of stress and heartache in the long run.

  4. Present your house beautifully [we cannot recommend this enough!]. It almost goes without saying these days that a beautiful interior and photography is critical in selling your house.

  5. Don’t over do the gimmicks – or the de-cluttering; A house must look lived in.

  6. Talk about the extra benefits in and around your property.

  7. Don’t forget about security. Make sure you go with an agent who’ll vet any potential buyers before showing them to your home.
