How to prepare your property for sale in 2025?

Tips for a quick and successful real estate transaction

Selling a property requires much more than posting an ad. If you want to achieve higher price, faster transaction и more interest from buyers, proper preparation is key. In this article we will give you practical tips on how to prepare your apartment or house for sale in 2025

1. Make small but visible improvements

You don't have to do major renovations, but some improvements can significantly increase the value of the property:

  • Freshening with white or neutral paint
  • Replacement of old luminaires
  • Fixing leaks, mold, damaged tiles or doors
  • Cleaned windows and shiny surfaces

📌 Tip: Buyers want to envision their future home - create a feeling of cleanliness and comfort.


2. Clean and prepare the space

✅ Remove personal belongings - photos, clothes, knick-knacks
✅ Arrange the cupboards and wardrobes
✅ Clean the bathroom and kitchen to a shine
✅ Move out unnecessary furniture to make the space look more spacious

📸 Tip: Prepare the property so that it looks good in photos - this is the first thing potential buyers will see online.


3. Create a good first impression

First impression sells!
Add:

  • fresh flowers or green plants
  • decorative pillows and textiles
  • stylishly arranged dining table
  • clean scent or neutral freshener

📸 4. Invest in a professional photo shoot

Ads with quality photos receive over 50% more views.

  • Use natural light
  • Capture all rooms including balcony, entrance and view
  • Consider a short video or 360° virtual tour

📌 Tip: Ask for the real estate agency take professional photos of the home - it's in their best interest and yours.


📜 5. Prepare the necessary documents in advance

Gathering documents at the last minute delays transactions. Make sure you have:

  • Notarial deed
  • Sketch and scheme from the cadastre
  • Tax assessment
  • Certificate of no encumbrances
  • If there are co-owners - notarized consents

📌 Tip: Prepare everything even before you place the ad.


💰 6. Determine market price with professional help

Don't bid too high just because "that's how other properties are listed".

  • Make an analysis of the area
  • Compare to actual sold properties, not just published listings
  • Consult a broker

📉 Tip: An inflated price scares off buyers, and you may have to mark down much more than you actually have to later.


🧠 7. Choose a suitable real estate agency

A good broker doesn't just sell - him:

  • analyse the market
  • advises you on how to present the property
  • negotiates for you
  • filters out frivolous buyers

📌 Tip: Choose an agencywhich offers marketing, professional photography and active advertising, one with a good reputation, real reviews and professional attitude - it makes a huge difference.


🧾 8. Be ready for negotiations

Buyers often offer a lower price. Prepare yourself:

  • to have a psychological discount limit
  • react calmly
  • consider an offer in the context of market conditions

✅ Conclusion: preparation leads to a successful sale

If you want to sell your property quickly and profitably in 2025., approach strategically: refresh, clean, prepare documents and work with professionals. This will save you time, nerves and increase your bottom line.
