1. Preparing for sale

Before we get started, you need to ensure your home is in optimal condition. The buyer must be able to picture themselves living in your house. Do everything you can to make the home look as appealing as possible. Put out some fresh flowers, give the house a thorough vacuuming, and store all personal items like photos.

This ensures that potential buyers will be impressed right away, guaranteeing success.

2. A well-maintained garden

When selling a home, people often focus on the interior, forgetting about the garden, which is an important part of the property. Make sure your garden is tidy and in good condition. This doesn’t have to be expensive or difficult—simply removing weeds, adding some plants, and trimming hedges can make a big difference. A neat garden gives buyers a positive impression of the property, making it easier for IMMO Arie van der Lee to sell your home quickly. Check out our handy checklist for selling your home.

3. Excellent condition

Aside from the appearance of your home and garden, it’s important that the property is in excellent condition. Make sure all necessary repairs are completed. A home with visible defects is less attractive to potential buyers, as defects mean additional costs for them.

4. Professional photos and videos

Your home is now in perfect condition inside and out, and all issues have been fixed. The next step is capturing your property. Visual content is key in selling a home. People don’t search for specific features—they base their first impression on photos. Whether it’s in a newspaper or online, such as on Funda, where thousands of homes are bought and sold every year, high-quality images are essential. Professional photos and videos are a must, and at IMMO Arie van der Lee, we ensure that your property looks its best by working with top photographers.

5. Engaging sales text

After being drawn in by photos, buyers will read the sales text. This is where they learn the details about the property, the neighborhood, and are encouraged to schedule a viewing. Our agents know that a great sales text can make all the difference, which is why they specialize in writing engaging and compelling descriptions.

6. The energy label

Sustainability is a hot topic. Homes with an energy label tend to sell faster. Energy labels range from A to G, with an A-label indicating high energy efficiency, and a G-label showing low efficiency. Modern buyers value this information. If your property lacks an energy label, it can be a downside. To help buyers understand how well-insulated your home is, it’s wise to obtain an energy label. We can assist with this, and showing a green label will increase the value of your property.

7. Using the right channels

Now that your photos, video, sales text, and energy label are ready, it’s time to make your property visible to potential buyers. This applies both offline and online. There are many channels available for selling your home. At IMMO Arie van der Lee, we ensure maximum visibility both online and offline. We excel at online presentations, reaching the widest audience possible. Your property will not only be prominently displayed on Funda but also on our website and social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram.

8. Scheduling the viewing

Your property is now optimally presented online and offline. Interested buyers will want to see it in person. Before they visit, you must ensure your home is as attractive as possible. We help with this, as IMMO Arie van der Lee arranges the best viewings. When a buyer shows interest, we schedule a date that works for both parties.

9. Negotiation: stand your ground!

When a buyer makes an offer, it’s important not to lower your price too quickly. Many sellers make this mistake, thinking it will speed up the sale. However, lowering the price too quickly can make buyers suspicious, leading them to think there’s something wrong with the house. Avoid this by not going below your set minimum price. This can be tricky, which is why IMMO Arie van der Lee provides expert advice. With our years of experience, we give you tailored guidance on when to negotiate and when to stand firm.
