SELLERS

THE 7 THINGS THAT SELLERS MUST KEEP IN MIND

1.  Your property needs EXPOSURE. Some brokers are not members of the Los Cabos MLS, or even if they are members they delay in listing your property. Make sure your broker will do everything necessary to ensure that the public and other realtors know your property is on the market.

2.  Every property is unique. You should demand an individually tailored marketing strategy emphasizing what your property has to offer.

3.  To prevent delays in the sale of your property, make sure that all property taxes, fidiecomiso fees, and other fees such as water, electricity, and gas are all paid.

4.  To reduce capital gains, make certain that the purchase of your property, as well as any construction or remodeling, is properly manifested. If the broker who sold you the property did not manifest it properly, this could cost you a great deal of capital gains tax, but you need to start working on it now, not while the property is in escrow.

5.  Gather the relevant facts for capital gains calculations and have a Notario Publico give you an estimate of what your capital gains liability will be.

6.  To make certain that your property shows well, it is well worth spending some money on simple cosmetic changes such as painting, landscaping, and making certain that everything in your house works.

7.  If you need to sell your property quickly, have your broker do the research to help you price it aggressively.
