Property Inspections

Property inspections are a pivotal part of any marketing plan for selling property. There are three broad property inspections which are often used when selling property.

• Private viewings
• Open for inspections
• Virtual inspections

Private viewings – give the potential buyer the opportunity to view and discuss the property one to one with the owner. It gives you a good opportunity to understand the potential buyer and ascertain how serious they are about purchasing the property.

Some potential buyers may feel uncomfortable organising a private viewing with just the owner if they are not certain how they feel about the property. The option of open inspections and virtual inspections should be provided for individuals intimidated by private viewings.

Open inspections – allow many people to view your property at the same convenient time. They also allow both owners and potential buyers to see how interested people are in the property. Open inspections provide the owner with the opportunity to create a database of interested buyers and also to discuss the merits of the property including marketing strategy and price with potential buyers. This article provides a comprehensive breakdown in regard to performing Open Inspections.

Virtual inspections – are an online inspection which provides the viewer with an instant indication of what the property looks like. They are usually used for exclusive property but as the cost involved in creating them has reduced considerably they are becoming a viable option in any marketing plan.
