How Long Does Real Estate Sale Take?

You have a definite plan to bake a cake for the evening. You think of a berry cheesecake, flip through a cookbook, and find the right one! Finding a good cake recipe does not guarantee that it will turn out wonderfully and that you will be able to present it the way it has been done by professionals – temptingly and invitingly. It has been baked by someone who is a professional baker/pastry chef. The text was written by an experienced writer and the photographs were taken by a food photographer focused on capturing food. If on the first try you could create a result equal in taste, appearance and description to what made you want to try it, that would be like winning the lottery. Quite a small probability, isn't it?

We cannot be competent in everything – things we do for the first time contain unknown factors to achieve the desired result smoothly.

  • How to present real estate?
  • What description to write?
  • What information to share?
  • Who is the target audience to market to?
  • How to photograph or create visuals?
  • What is the value of the real estate?
  • How does the sales process work in general?
  • Where in portals is the searcher base most active?
  • Should additional advertising be used?

These are just some of the questions from the whole mix that real estate consultants working in the field can comfortably and knowingly answer.

The questions mentioned above and not mentioned are directly related to how long it takes to sell real estate. It can be argued that the real estate sales process is like a mathematical formula in which there is more than one continuous variable.

There is a common understanding of the real estate sales process that location and price are arguments that quickly help realize real estate. There is a grain of truth in this statement, but real estate buying and selling largely comes down to emotions as well. From the owner's perspective, I understand that "I built this wall with my own hands!" would justify adding two thousand euros to the value of a home whose pricing has been done based on similar online ads. Such pricing done by the buyer will not move forward.

While spending every day in your environment and planning the sales process, you may not notice that photographs have something off-putting – like a piece of baking paper sticking out from a slice of cake in a pastry shop window, which somehow ended up there and keeps the entire customer base away until it is removed. When you go through the sales process, something unexpected may slip over your lips, which if the right questions were asked and the person listened to, would have remained unsaid. The mentioned example with the cake is unusual, but we become so accustomed to our environment that we may simply not notice such aspects.

Therefore, speculation about real estate sales time in this form is prediction and it is one thankless job. Would you believe it if a psychic told you that after two months you would find a pot with gold coins – and it didn't happen? A little hope already grew in your heart. Probably won't sadden you for long, but a bad feeling stays anyway.

The unnamed cakes I compared at the beginning of the article – imagine if they end up side by side on a free market, then we can speculate which of the cakes will more quickly go home with someone. Already from the fact that trust builds up in yourself against the professional representative, practical experience in the real estate field also speaks in its favor.

If you are considering thoughts about selling real estate – get in touch with someone you can trust, whose work quality is proven and who feels as confident with the variables in the formula as a lynx does in our mighty forests. What can you do during that time? Simple – trust and enjoy the process!
