Because the summer months are a time when many buyers take advantage of the fact that they have more free time to begin an active search for the new home they wish to purchase. How then can you make the vacations compatible with the sale of the home? The solution is that someone is in charge during the whole summer to make the visits and keep you informed, that is to say, to leave the keys of your house to a real estate agency you trust. This is a point that may seem complicated or even risky for some owners. However, relying on real estate experts has multiple advantages that will help you achieve your sales goals effectively. Today, real estate agencies offer increasingly personalized services tailored to the needs of each client. Therefore, in this article we present six points in favor of leaving the keys of your home in the hands of a real estate agency that offers you real possibilities of selling during those months you are going to be away.
1. You go on vacation, your home does not.
During your vacation, if you choose a real estate agency with a proven track record, you can be sure that your home will be in good hands. A real estate agent will manage the visits and keep your property in the best conditions for its sale. In addition, even if you provide a copy of the keys, if you wish, you can arrange for the agency to contact you before each visit.
More than 50% of buyers start looking for an apartment during their summer vacation.
Summer is a time of active search for homes by buyers, taking advantage of the summer vacations and the intensive working days in many sectors. Therefore, it is essential to have professionals who do not close their offices and can attend to potential clients who are looking for homes at this time of the year.
Less competition: many owners do not visit during these months.
During the summer, many homeowners decide to stop selling their home by going on vacation due to the mistaken belief that it is not a good time to sell. This means that there is less competition in the market and by keeping your home in an active sale, you can take advantage of this opportunity to achieve better results.
4. Offer your home to potential buyers.
It is obvious but, as a private individual, you will only be able to show your property to those who have inquired about it directly. On the other hand, a professional knows his client base and can offer your home to those buyers who are looking for properties similar to yours, especially if he has the keys to be able to make visits during extended hours. In this way, you increase your chances of selling.
5. High availability.
Obviously, all of the above is of no use if the real estate agency is going to close for vacations or if only one person is going to be left “on minimum services” to attend all the calls, make the visits, etc. In the summer, many real estate agencies do not close for the vacations and maintain a large enough staff to meet your needs and those of your clients, which means that your property will always be on the market.
6. Key custody service.
In addition to making viewings of your home and keeping you informed about potential buyers, some agencies also offer a key safekeeping service. In practice, it means that, if you wish, they can also arrange visits with other real estate agencies to increase the chances of a sale.
