Rarely are we approached by sellers who are in no hurry to sell their property. 
Everyone wants to sell quickly; either to buy their next property on the housing ladder or to maximize their investment.

•    Wise up!
•    Think outside the box!
•    How to prepare your property?
•    Be realistic!

But you will be pleased to know there are other alternatives to enhance a property’s attractiveness besides dropping the asking price.

If you’re looking to sell your property in Pattaya’s sometimes challenging real estate market, read on for some tips on how to generate interest and get the best price possible for your property.

Stand Out from the Neighbours
It is vital to make your property stand out from that of your neighbour, or other houses in this price bracket and make your property more memorable to the buyer. 
One suggestion would be to improve the first-impression of your property; consider custom designs or additions to your property, such as landscaping, higher-grade window frames or a new roof. Sometimes jet-washing your roof will make it look like new! 
Such changes can help improve the house’s aesthetics, while potentially adding value to the property. 
Any improvements should be ones of a practical nature and not too quirky. 
Use neutral colours and simple designs that will appeal to a wide audience and therefore hopefully a buyer. 
These changes should also complement the property and its other features, such as building a BBQ deck or a sand-wash terrace adjacent to your swimming pool.
However, while it can be beneficial to give your property a facelift it is important that you don’t over-improve it. 
For example your kitchen might need an upgrade – remember that “kitchens and bathrooms sell properties” – It would be unwise to replace it with a top-of-the-range custom built kitchen when new counter tops and fascias would give the kitchen that new look.
If you’re going to invest in property improvements, do your research and be sure to put your money into the things that are likely to get you the best return. 
In addition, if you have added any custom features that you think buyers will be interested in, make sure you point these out to your broker so that they are included in the home’s listing information. 
More than ever, if in a down market you should take every small edge you can get.

Make the property TIDY
It is so important to remove all unnecessary clutter and excessive personal items from the property before a broker shows it to potential buyers. 
Potential buyers need to be able to picture themselves in the property and visualize using the room space as their space. 
This might include removing some small items furniture to make rooms look bigger, and putting away family photographs and personal items. 
You may even want to ask your qualified real estate broker in Pattaya to give you some tips on staging your property to help you make better use of the space. 
Many real estate brokers feel that staging the property can make a home more salable in the short-term, so you should really consider this.

Sugarcoat the Deal
Another way to make the property and the deal for the buyer more attractive is to offer terms or include originally excluded items of furniture that might sweeten the pot. For example, sellers that offer to pay the full property transfer costs, rather than on a 50/50 basis, will in some cases receive more attention from property buyers looking at similar homes. 
In a buyers’ market, buyers are looking for a deal, so sugarcoat the deal to make them feel they are getting a deal that they cannot refuse.

Finally, it’s important to note that most buyers in Pattaya are cash buyers and motivated to close in a short amount of time. 
If it is possible for you to transfer the property within 30 to 60 days, then this could set your deal apart and get you a sales contract signed!

Improve the Curb Appeal – first impressions count
Sellers in Pattaya often overlook the importance of their property’s curb appeal; the first impression the buyer gets from approaching the house. 
The first thing a buyer sees is a property’s external appearance and the way it fits into the surrounding environment. 
Try to make certain that the exterior has a fresh coat of paint, and that the bushes and grassed lawn areas are well maintained. 
In real estate, first impressions count for a lot. What better way to set your home apart from others than to make it attractive at the first glance?

Get your Home in “Move In” Condition
Aesthetics are significant, but it’s also important that windows, doors, AC units, appliances and electrical and plumbing fixtures are in full working order. 
Again, the idea is to have the home in “move in” condition and to give potential buyers the impression that they will be able to move right in and start enjoying their new home, rather than spending time and money fixing it up. 
Your qualified real estate broker can then emphasize that the property is “turn-key” – just bring your suitcases!

Pricing the property Right
Regardless of how well you cosmetically improve and stage your property, it is still important to price the property correctly. 
Consult a qualified real broker to see what comparable homes are priced at and selling at in your area.
It’s not always important to be the lowest priced property in the village or in the condo building, particularly when aesthetic and other significant improvements have been made to your property. 
However, it is important that the listing price is not out of line with other comparable properties in the Pattaya real estate market. 
Try to think of yourself as the buyer and then decide what a fair price for your property might be. 
Have your qualified real estate broker tour the home and comment as well.

The Bottom Line
Selling a property if in a buyers’ market requires a little extra work. 
Do everything you can to get the property in admirable shape and be prepared to make some small allowances when closing the deal. 

These tips, coupled with an attractive price, will increase the odds of getting your property sold.
And please remember
Only use a qualified real estate broker!
