Buying and Selling Property Rules

Having worked in the real estate business for many years we have put together some common sense rules to help you get the most out of this site, if you have rules you would like to see included send to info@bargainhomesabroad.com and we will do our best to include them.

Selling:
Properties submitted must include photo’s minimum 4 max 6, if your home is under construction, we suggest scanning in pictures from the developer, these are normally high quality and greatly increase your chances of enquiries, don’t worry if you can’t resize them, we can do this for you.

Before marketing your home, make sure you have all the paperwork to hand e.g. title deeds, evidence of bills paid e.g. local taxes, community fees, details of the mortgage on home if applicable, you will not be able to sell without these so best look for them now.

Ensure you are able to receive emails daily, new enquirers expect an answer within 24 hours or else they will lose interest and look elsewhere.

Prepare a list of the properties key features so that you can discuss with interested parties and not miss anything out, also you may have more great photos save them as jpegs in a folder so as to quickly mail to interested parties.

If your house/apt has not been lived in for some time consider repainting it all in white, most house hunters prefer a blank canvass and might not appreciate your Arabic murals.

If your house has been lived in by renters definitely do the above and consider removing the furniture if in poor condition as this will detract from the sale. In most countries there are numerous second hand furniture stores that would offer you a price or possibly place into storage whilst house is on the market.

Complete fully the listing form for your home before sending to us for listing, if you are unsure of anything use the call back button and we will call you back to discuss.

How will a prospective purchaser get access to your home to view it? Appoint someone reliable to permit access, someone who is easily contactable doesn’t fluster easily and probably is being paid to do it, your elderly retired neighbour whilst happily holding a key for an emergency will not take kindly to assuming they have nothing better to do than show your home and may well open up under sufferance, not conducive to making a sale.

Lastly we only forward a prospective purchaser to you, we do not give out your contact details, satisfy yourself that you are dealing with a genuine enquiry as we cannot be held responsible for misuse of data or fraudulent activity.
