Venice homes for sale: let's try to give suggestions to those who want to quickly conclude the transaction.

Surely the first advice is to rely on professionals. A competent, experienced agency that holds a large market segment is the ideal partner in the sales process.



So relying on an agency like Engel & Völkers can make the difference when you want to sell your home quickly?




Using a specialized and competent intermediary is of utmost importance both in buying and selling. Hiring an agency like Engel & Völkers means relying on an international network and qualified agents for the search and selection of potential buyers, being supported in the economic negotiation in a professional way, without emotion and inexperience, and being carefully assisted at every stage of the process. from the valuation of the property to the notarial deed.



The sale you recently concluded of an apartment located in Rio Tera 'San Leonardo, in the Cannaregio district, however, took place in truly record time. How was this possible?



Strategic position, characteristic context and charm of the property were important. However, to close the sale less than a week after publication, it was also necessary to experience, professionalism and management skills. All necessary skills to be a good real estate agent in Venice as in the rest of the world.



Is this a unique case or have you already made sales in such a short time?



Fortunately, this was not an exception. Venice can be defined as a seller’s market: while the real estate offer is limited, the demand is constantly growing. For this reason, if the price is in line with market prices, the sale time is on average shorter than in other Italian cities.



Confess: do you use a particular strategy?



No strategy, but rather the human factor: empathizing with your customers is essential to carry out teamwork based on listening and trust. For example, in this case, a splendid synergy with the buyer was immediately established. It is essential to invest our time in listening to the needs of customers, their requests, their dreams and their doubts. With empathy and collaboration, the best solution is identified for all parties.



On the other hand, are there factors that can increase the timing of the sale of a property?



An incorrect assessment of the sale price has a huge impact on the timing. This happens when it is not possible to establish a realistic and objective figure that is independent of the emotional value. Then a careless presentation of the property or the irregularity of the documents are further elements of extension of the times. However, nothing that cannot be solved thanks to the support of a good agency.
