If you own property in Greece and are thinking of selling, there are several tasks you can perform to enhance your profits and lock in gains. One way to lock in profits on one property is to purchase another property with the proceeds of the first. Capital gains taxes on the sale of real estate can be 10-25% on the property value, but is often exempt if the proceeds are used to purchase another Greece property. Since there are some excellent deals to be had on real estate in Greece, this should be a consideration for anyone’s investment portfolio.
Using an agent is another method that can actually increase your profits, and definitely help you sell quicker than on your own. An agent will bring your property to the attention of people who would not otherwise see it. They can also advise you as to what is selling-and what is not-in the area where your property is located, allowing you to position your property for the best sale. Many agents also belong to networks that can distribute your advert into markets you may be unaware of. For example, if people in Bulgaria or Russia are buying up Greek properties, an agent in a network may be able to translate your advert into the appropriate languages and ensure its distribution in those countries. Few individuals have the resources to accomplish this on their own.
Property for sale in Greece covers a wide variety of sizes and styles. In order to make your property stand out from the rest, you will want to carefully consider how you describe your property. Above all, you will want to include many photos. An accurate description of where the property is located, especially in relation to nearby airports or major roads, will give prospective buyers an idea of how to reach it. If the property is rural, travel time from the airport or motorway, also help sell properties. If possible, video tours are becoming increasingly popular as a way to experience the property without actually being there. A video or photo tour of a nearby area or town is also helpful.
A full list of amenities available with your property will greatly increase your chances of selling, as well as shorten the time to a final closing. It can also help strengthen your position in a weak market, allowing you to justify the price you are asking. Facilities and services such as a pool, air conditioning, maid service, or even leaving the furniture with the property can make the difference when selling. Especially for properties on one of the Greek isles, furnishings and other household items can be extremely expensive to bring in, and including these things with your house or property is a big bonus.
Finally, if you are an offshore seller, locating a trustworthy contact in Greece can be a huge help. It may be the agent you choose to deal with, a real estate attorney, or a trusted neighbour. That person can be your representative for any day-to-day details that may come up, and may help sell your property at a fantastic price.
