• Before you call a buyer to inspect your property which is for sale, make sure the property is clean not just the subject property only the environment needs to be considered as well, clean the surroundings including the drainage systems because without being told a clean house will attract more buyers than a dirty house in a dirty environment.
• Every property has a little junk around it, therefore it is better you De-clutter your house and remove all your belongings and other things that the buyer may not need before inviting the buyer for visual inspection because it will make the buyer to feel that the house is ready for him.
• Neutral colours in a building are always welcoming, so it is advisable that the seller should try as much as he can to use neutral colours in the building because it will make the build more attractive to the buyers.

• Price is always the problem in real estate market, if you want to sell your property faster than ever, it is advisable to place the house price at a normal price which will attract a reasonable buyer who will be willing to pay a reasonable amount for the house, high price may be scary to some buyers who cannot afford to buy at such price.
• Most times a property may not be in a good condition or that the owner is supposed to pay a large capital gain tax, the best option to overcome all this, is to consider a creative finance offer like accepting the buyer to pay the price in installment so as to reduce the tax and also attract more buyers to the property.
Whether it is a new house or old house, the owner is always advised to put the building in a good state before placing it for sale including the surrounding, if it is an old house that was occupied before, the property manager should make sure that the last tenant vacated the property in a good state of repair especially when the agreement is on internal repairing lease.
