Tips For Selling Your Irish Property Fast

Published on and written by Cyril Jarnias

The Irish real estate market is dynamic, but selling your property quickly requires a well-thought-out strategy. Here are expert tips to optimize your chances of closing a fast sale at the best price in Ireland.

Showcase Your Property in Its Best Light

First impressions are crucial for attracting potential buyers. Before listing your property:

  • Perform a deep clean and declutter every room to create a spacious and welcoming atmosphere
  • Complete necessary minor repairs (leaky faucets, peeling paint, etc.)
  • Refresh wall paint with neutral colors that appeal to the broadest audience
  • Pay special attention to the facade and garden to maximize curb appeal
  • Obtain an energy assessment and make improvements where possible to increase property value

A well-presented property will not only sell faster but also at a better price. Investing in preparing your property is therefore an excellent calculation.

Good to Know:

According to a recent study, well-prepared properties sell on average 21% faster than others in Ireland.

Implement a Powerful Marketing Strategy

To quickly attract serious buyers, bet on effective marketing:

  • Have professional photos taken that highlight your property’s strengths
  • Write a detailed and attractive description, emphasizing the property’s and neighborhood’s strong points
  • Broadly distribute the listing on major Irish real estate portals (Daft.ie, Myhome.ie, etc.)
  • Use social media to expand your listing’s visibility
  • Organize open house days to create a sense of urgency among potential buyers

The more visible your property is, the more chances you’ll have to quickly attract the right buyer. Don’t hesitate to invest in featured listing options on advertising sites to maximize your visibility.

Good to Know:

Listings with professional photos receive on average 61% more views than those with amateur photos in Ireland.

Choose the Right Partner to Close the Sale

Selecting the right real estate agent can make all the difference for a quick sale:

  • Choose an agent with excellent knowledge of the local market
  • Check their past performance and ask for references
  • Ensure they have a strong network of potential buyers
  • Select a responsive and available agent who can quickly answer inquiries
  • Negotiate favorable terms, particularly regarding the contract duration

A good real estate agent will be your best ally for selling quickly and at the best price. Don’t hesitate to meet with several professionals before making your choice.

Good to Know:

In Ireland, properties sold by real estate agents sell on average 15 days faster than those sold by private owners.

Selling your property quickly in Ireland is entirely possible with the right preparation and strategy. By following these expert tips, you’ll maximize your chances of closing a fast and satisfactory sale.
