60 seconds to decide on a purchase

60 seconds to decide on a purchase

How long does it take to make such an important decision as buying a house? Very little, in fact very little: barely a minute. According to several studies, truly crucial decisions are made this way, which is why a seller must do everything possible to trigger the decisive 60-second timer

There are two main things to do: the first is for the potential buyer to visit the house; the second is for the initial feelings to be positive.

1. Get a visit

At this particularly complicated time for the market, potential home buyers are fewer than before. Therefore, it is crucial to attract them to your property, knowing that the market is full of competitors. A potential buyer spends a lot of time looking on the Internet at homes he is interested in or perusing the windows of real estate agencies. The first thing that will trigger his attention will be the price. Secondly, the presence of good photos, an accurate description, and street directions will do the rest.

According to several experts at this time people who have savings are buying mainly, since mortgages are expensive and difficult to obtain. For this reason, demand is very selective, but when it finds the right property, the purchase and sale can be closed in a few weeks, because there is no need to go through the bank.

2. Make a good impression

It takes 60 seconds for someone visiting a house to discard it or generate concrete interest. If at this stage he sees something he does not like, he will not return for a second visit.

We at Studio Lentini offer you some useful tips on how to prepare a house for sale, but besides appearance there are other things you can do. Be correct about the actual meters, for example, and perhaps present a summary diagram with the main salient data of the home (m2 built, m2 useful, cadastral category, condominium expenses, administrator's contact, nearby services, etc.). This will communicate a feeling of fairness and transparency that will certainly motivate to deepen the first good impression.

Come and see us..., we can safely talk about it and with you evaluate the best strategy to put in place to offer your property for sale. Our consultation is, of course, free of charge.
