Selling Your Property In Cyprus

Hello again!

I’m hoping that you are now starting to get some viewings and are feeling very positive about selling your property. The secret is to keep at it – even in a difficult market you will sell in the end. Just look forward to how you will feel when it’s sold, and focus on that. I received this great advice from a dear friend - so every day I used to imagine a “SOLD” sign in front of my eyes - and eventually it worked!

By now, I hope your posters look good and that you are promoting them everywhere you can. Remember, stick them up at every opportunity – the more you promote your property, the more viewings you will get, so the more chance you will have of selling it.

You might also want to consider small lineage advertisements in the local papers. I found three really good ones that worked. The first is the local ex-pat daily paper, The Cyprus Mail. You can have around 40 words in the property section on a “buy four weeks, get one free week” basis for about 60 euros. This will appear Tuesday to Sunday every day for 5 weeks (there’s no Monday edition). This makes it about 70 cents a day to advertise in around 12,000 daily copies. That’s really cheap for island-wide coverage!

The second newspaper is The Cyprus Weekly. You can do the same again in this paper; it’s still cheap, but will only go in once a week.

Then there is The Paphos Post, which is a free monthly ex-pat newspaper. You simply send in a classified lineage advert no more than 25 words and it will go in FREE.

With a lineage advert, remember to put in the key features and your contact details. If you have title deeds, make sure you put that in the first line as this is really important. And this time – you DO need to state the price.

Well, I hope this will help you get to your goal of selling your property in Cyprus.

Next time I’m going to talk about how you can use email as a marketing tool.

Have a great weekend, see you next week.
Best wishes
Jackie
