It is every Property seller’s joy to always sell their property very fast without undergoing a lot of difficulties and the toil that comes with the process of selling Land in Kenya especially if it is a raw land. Here are the 5 common mistakes and solutions most of the landowners commit while selling their land in our country. 

1. Overpricing your property.

One of the key things a land buyer will look at is the price of that particular property. Overpricing your property/ land will obviously turn off potential buyers who may have developed interest in your land. It is therefore very important to carry out a proper research on the market prices around that area and trends will do you good as a land-seller before making up your mind on the final price of your land. While in the process of researching, you will get to discover other ways of selling land fast here in Kenya.

2. Taking low quality photos of the land you are selling.

Taking and posting unclear photos usually happens especially when you are using a phone that has low quality camera. Posting these pictures on your social media platforms will even keep away the potential buyers because they will have developed a negative attitude towards the land. Low quality photos takes away the aesthetics of your piece of land thus reflecting poorly on the prices of the specific land. Every property seller should definitely bear in mind that creating their property’s first impression is very vital. He /She should always ensure that they take quality pictures. It is actually the best way to attract your buyers. 

3. Failing to be proactive.

Often, interested customers will want to hear from you frequently. They will want to know a lot of things concerning the land to be clarified for them and even interrogate more that only you as a landowner have their answers. So if you ain’t proactive enough, unfortunately, you might lose your land buyers to other competitors (land sellers) who are committed to their customers. Make that call! I repeat make that call! It is very important to you as a Real Estate investor. Ensure also that you give the right information when clients call to interrogate the specified property. Whenever you get a lead, work on it there and then. Don’t wait for days to pass so as you can return calls. 

4. Failing to advertise and market your property.

Land, just like any other commodity in the market, has to be advertised and marketed in order to sell in fast. Selling your raw land without an agent is like giving meat to a toothless kid to chew. Extremely difficult! Your land may not sell or if it does, it will indeed take you long. Working with a land real estate agent will simplify your work as the land seller. This is consequently due to the wide range of marketing strategies and techniques real estate agents have which will put your land on the map thus selling faster than you even expected.

In case you can’t find a Real Estate agent, the best solution would be using a reputable listing company that will get your land before multiple of potential buyers. Baoriat Agencies in Uasin Gishu County happens to be one of these companies that connects the seller of the property to the buyers. We help you get a detailed report that attracts a number of leads and people viewing your listings. 

5. Using a home/house seller agent to market your land.

A home seller agent and a land seller agent are totally different in the sense that each uses very different techniques to get their buyers. Just in case you thought replacing a land seller agent with a home seller agent is still okay, from today know that that shouldn’t be the case. As a matter of fact, this is where most land sellers fail the most. Home buyers totally have different interests and needs from those who’d like to purchase land. If you want your land selling process to be fast, then look for a real estate agent that specializes in selling land.

 

In summary, any land seller is prone to these common mistakes that happens when selling their land. However, we have seen from the above article that these mistakes can still be avoided by being proactive, taking good quality photos of the land, using a real estate land agent, right pricing of the land and finally marketing the property.
