Selling a garage can be simple, but certain mistakes can cost you time and money. Here are common pitfalls to avoid.
1. Setting the Wrong Price
- Overpricing will drive buyers away.
- Underpricing means you lose potential profit.
- Research the market to set a competitive price.
2. Not Preparing the Garage for Sale
A cluttered, damaged garage turns off buyers.
- Fix minor repairs.
- Clean the space.
- Ensure easy access.
3. Choosing the Wrong Buyer
Not all buyers are serious. Watch out for:
- Buyers who delay payments.
- Those making unrealistic offers.
- Scammers requesting unnecessary fees upfront.
Selling to a trusted garage-buying company ensures a quick and secure transaction.
4. Ignoring Legal Requirements
- Have ownership documents ready.
- Check for outstanding fees or taxes.
- Ensure legal permissions if selling separately from a house.
5. Delaying Responses to Buyers
Buyers lose interest if you take too long to respond. Answer inquiries promptly and be available for viewings.
Avoiding these mistakes will make your sale smooth, profitable, and stress-free.
