Tips With Bahamas Real Estate

By Carol Williams


There are exceptional properties to be had in this neck of the woods. Bahamas real estate offers the homeowner exclusivity that is affordable for the first time home buyer. There is much to be found on the Internet where one can get a sneak preview of what it is on offer.

Doing a key word search on any of the online search providers, one can get an overall view of this stunning part of the world. Agencies are also there to provide assistance in securing the best deal possible so one can pick and choose, whilst browsing, for those that are willing to help. There is a fountain of questions that need to be addressed before searching for a home to buy or to sell for that matter.

The number one course of action for any seller is to make a product marketable and this should be the first port of call before considering listing a home. Timing is crucial and one should leave a few months to spare before considering selling and letting everyone out there know that it is time to sell. It is best to consult with professionals who do this for a living and to get advice as to what enhancements will make any home that much more attractive.

There is the option of getting in home restoration services to give a professional and impartial view as well as lending a trained eye as to what needs refurbishing and renovating. One must remember that a would be buyer will go through the property with a fine tooth comb and will be particularly fussy if there is something that is not quite to their liking. It is like going into a clothing store and inspecting the cut and how the garment is stitched.

It is the small things that one just forgot to take notice of that must be taken care of before putting a home on show and allowing viewing times. As a seller, one just gets used to seeing the way a home looks but to a buyer who is finicky about what they are looking at, even the most smallest of things tend to stand out. It is a good idea to call someone in who is impartial to advise on what needs attending to.

Touch ups can mean a big difference in the negotiated price and is advisable to do them in order to get as much out of the property as possible. Doing simple chores do not mean at great expense. A new coat of paint, especially in a neutral color, will affect the selling price. Also having electrical compliance certificates and having had a plumber check the plumbing works in the building, adds overall value.

If at a loss as to how to proceed then an agent should be consulted. There exist many varying facets of selling a home and if this is the case and one is at a loss as to where to begin, it is important to jot down any queries there may be. Agents are a mountain of knowledge and are easily consulted where there is grey area.

Should one live in a high rainfall area, it is best to view during the rainy months. One can see if the home leaks for one. These are just some criteria to take note of when buying or selling.
