Hints and Tips for Selling in Cyprus

Hello again

We’re having a heat wave! It’s been 40 degrees over the last few days and it’s time to get back into our swimming pool. Phew, it’s not normally this hot in May; this is more like August weather. Can’t complain though, blue skies, sunshine, everything you need to make you feel great!

Last week I said I’d help you with marketing your holiday home in Cyprus, so if you are trying to sell your property here from overseas and finding it difficult, these hints and tips might help towards getting that all important sale. Remember to share them with your friends too.

First things first, I can’t stress enough – get a website. Some people may say this isn’t the way to do it, but I can only speak from my own experience, boy did it work! If you have a website, then you can simply refer to this in all your advertisements and get potential buyers to come to you direct, which will save you paying an agent a huge fee. Without the agent fee, you will then also have some room for negotiation when you get that all important offer.

If you don’t have an agent, the next challenge is how to conduct viewings when you don’t live here. I have a solution. Ask someone who does live here to do this for you. Everyone has neighbours who are here permanently, so next time you are over, invite them round for a barbeque and ask them if they would be willing to help you.

Next week I’ll carry on with more hints and tips (including offering incentives to friends and neighbours to help you get that sale), so until then, I’m going in the pool now to cool down, relax - and enjoy life in Cyprus.

Until next week, see you then!
Best wishes
