Make sure your Cyprus property looks it's best!

Hello, how are you?

Unbelievably, it’s been raining in Cyprus, but at least it’s been warm rain! There’s been a dust cloud here for about a week, so this will finally clear the air.

Following on from last week, I said I’d give you some help on incentives for neighbors or friends who are helping you sell your property because you can’t be here.

Why not pay them commission from the final sale? If you are selling privately, you won’t have agents’ fees to pay, so how about suggesting a small percentage?

You could also put viewings on a slightly more formal basis and pay them a small fee each time they show someone round for you.

That way, you aren’t taking advantage and you won’t feel embarrassed to ask again. Viewings take time, you want to make sure your property looks at its best - and this doesn’t happen in five minutes.

By the time your property has been unlocked, they’ve opened the shutters and curtains, taken dust sheets off the furniture and waited for the potential purchasers to turn up – and then shown them round too - I would say somewhere between 10 and 20 euros is money really well spent!

There are lots of other things your neighbors/friends can do to make your property look great for viewings; I’ll cover those next week.

That’s it for now, enjoy your weekend!
