Top Tips for Selling property in Spain - Spanish Life Properties

Spanish Life Properties are a family-run real estate agency in the heart of Quesada on the Costa Blanca, we understand that selling your home is a big decision. That’s why we’ve put together our top tips to help you make the best possible impression on potential buyers.

1. First Impressions Matter

The first thing buyers notice is the patio or garden, so ensure it's clean, tidy, and free from weeds. Consider adding some potted plants to enhance the space—plus, you can take them with you when you move!

2. De-Clutter & Depersonalise

Remove personal items like family photos, toiletries, and pet toys. A neutral space allows buyers to envision themselves living there more easily.

3. Freshen Up the Atmosphere

Unpleasant odors can be a deal-breaker. Light scented candles, brew fresh coffee, and open windows to eliminate cooking smells.

4. Add a Touch of Warmth

A bowl of fresh fruit or a vase of flowers in the kitchen or living room can make your home feel inviting.

5. Keep Bedrooms Neat

Beds should be made, rooms tidy, and clothes stored in wardrobes or drawers.

6. Spotless Bathrooms

Ensure your bathroom is sparkling clean. Remove personal items, arrange towels neatly, and always put the toilet seat down!

7. Tidy the Living Room

Put away newspapers and clutter. If you have pets, consider keeping them outside during viewings.

8. Declutter the Kitchen

Clear countertops of unnecessary items and ensure all dishes are washed and stored away.

9. Address Maintenance Issues

Fix peeling paint, damp patches, or any minor repairs that could deter buyers.

10. Trust Your Agent

Let your real estate agent conduct the viewing—they are professionals trained to present your home in the best light. Only answer questions when asked and avoid offering extra details, as what you see as a selling point may not appeal to every buyer.

11. Give Buyers Space

Following buyers around can make them feel uncomfortable. Allow them the freedom to explore your home at their own pace.
