• Are you ready to sell your house but know that it needs a little tlc?
• Is your house already on the market but just not selling?
• Are you getting viewings but no offers?

Don't worry because help is at hand. Sunset Properties is pleased to recommend a cost effective solution.

The problem
If you are having problems selling your house then of course the two key things you will want to look at straight away are price and presentation. If you make sure you have both of those right, you will hugely improve your chance of a quick sale at or near your asking price.

Although the final decision in setting a realistic selling price is yours, Sunset Properties will always advise you on this and it's something you would expect to discuss with us when we take on your property. However, presentation of your home can be a rather more difficult subject for an estate agent to broach with a client for fear of causing offence. Nevertheless, we sometimes know that just a little time and money spent on improving the overall presentation of your property can work wonders. You might find that help with this can be particularly welcome if you are not living in Spain full time and cannot be here to ensure that your property always looks its best.

Remember, it's first impressions that count and you really want to ‘wow' prospective buyer in those vital first few seconds of a viewing.

The solution
So, we would like to introduce and recommend our local 'house doctor', Irene Grant for advice on presentation.

Irene is an artist who has lived in Competa for 5 years. She has done a great job of renovating old character properties locally, and over the last 18 months has successfully 'house staged' properties of all types for clients from Marbella to Almuñecar. Her business has increased by word of mouth over this time and she has had lots of positive feedback from her many clients. Irene is known for her no nonsense approach and her commitment to maximizing improvement for minimum cost. Sometimes a house only needs de-cluttering and cleaning. Sometimes repainting, repairing and furnishing are required. She will always give you honest and realistic advice on what to do to present your property favourably. How much you spend is always up to you.

Why not call her for an initial evaluation? For a small fee she will visit your property, discuss the issues that might be affecting its saleability and produce a report detailing her recommendations and projected costs. There is no obligation to proceed, but she will work to the budget you give her. We think the charges for this service are very reasonable and could pay dividends for you. Using a tried and tested team of local tradespeople, Irene will manage the work from start to finish whether you are on site or not. She can also provide photos of the work if you are not around to supervise and approve it personally.

Irene can be contacted for an appointment (or just a chat) by email or phone;
