‘QUESTIONS YOU NEED TO ASK YOURSELF BEFORE SELLING YOUR FLAT’
Before selling a flat or a house, you need to be sure that this is the right step for you and that the outcome of the sale will meet your expectations.
One of the most important factors in successfully selling a flat is your attitude.
If we go in just to haggle over the price, we’re not up for showing the property, the flat’s a mess… well, if we have doubts, we’re not going to make the sale!
That’s why, before taking this step, I want you to ask yourself these questions and answer them with honesty. Doing so will help you understand how committed you are to selling and whether it’s the best thing for you right now.

Before putting an apartment or a house up for sale, we need to be sure that this is the right move for us and that the outcome of the sale will meet our expectations.
One of the most important factors in successfully selling a flat is your attitude.
If we start speculating about the price, we won’t feel like showing the place, the apartment is a mess… and if we have doubts, we’re definitely not going to sell our house in Sitges!
That’s why, before taking this step, I want you to ask yourself these questions and answer them with honesty. Doing so will help you understand how committed you are to selling and whether it’s the best thing for you right now.
Why am I selling my house now?
- How will this sale improve my life?
- How do I feel thinking that I’ve already sold it?
- What will I do once I’ve sold it?
- Do I find it hard not to be in a hurry to sell?
- How much is my house worth?
- How long will it take to sell my house?
- What taxes will I have to pay when I sell?
- How do I reach potential buyers?
The most important question is to know why now is the right time for you to sell your house.
The reason that leads you to sell the house must be stronger than the sense of attachment that binds you to it. You can’t approach the selling process with a sense of loss; when you decide to sell, you have to feel like you’re taking a step forward—toward a better life, toward new opportunities, selling your house is the vehicle that takes you to that new place you are longing for.
If you answer the questions I’ve asked, you’ll make the best decision for yourself and your expectations will be met, so think things through before going on the market.
