A potential buyer should know everything about the property. From the ownership, to when property was constructed, to recent renovations, defects of the property and even information about the neighborhood in which the property is situated.

Amenities in the neighborhood, security are of top most interest to most potential buyers.
To know the worth of a property one needs to contact a property appraiser otherwise called a valuer to assess the value of your house. Again one can determine the value of the house with comparable properties.
In real estate, value is not the same as worth. Value of a property is arrived based on market values and the comparable method is mostly used to arrive at this. Worth on the other hand is mostly the individual or the seller’s perspective of how much the property should be traded for. In calculating worth, the investment method is mostly used. The difference is based on the methods chosen to arrive at the figures. However the difference between value and worth of a particular property should not vary greatly.
List Price-The list price is the price you list your house for when you put it on the market. This price can change during the listing should you opt to lower or raise the price before it sells.
Sale Price-What your house sells for is the final sale price. The final sale price of similar comparable properties in your neighborhood that were sold within the last six months is an indication of your home’s current value.
Pricing your home higher is not a good idea. It usually discourages potential buyers from making an enquiry. In making a sale, always remember that you’re the boss. You decide which amount will be good for you.
We charge our clients a maximum of 5% of the final sale price minus tax.

If for a rental property, we charge ONE MONTH commission off the 12-months paid by the rentee (client) to the owner.
Simply put a low ball offer is making an offer that is low enough to be seen as an insult to the seller. However, people who make low ball offers can turn out to be the buyers of the estate. Here are a few ways to respond to low ball offers;

Control your emotions
Always remember you’re the boss
Always respond with a counter offer

A potential buyer is expected to do a diligent search at the Lands Commission to know the legal owners of the land. A potential buyer should request for a site plan to the land he/she wants to buy to conduct the search at the Public and Vested Land Management Department (PVLMD) and Survey and Mapping Division of the Lands Commission.

This should happen before the negotiation for the property starts.
Land Title Registration confers on the individual ownership of land. When a land is simply registered, it is the transaction that has taken place between a buyer and a seller that is recognized and this does not confer title or ownership on the individual.

A titled land has gone through all the process in the Lands Commission and a final title certificate issued to the owner of that property.

A registered Land is a land that is still going through the registration process at the Lands Commission but not yet completed.

NB: A titled land is more expensive than a Registered Land and also has a low-risk to litigation.
Clients are given 21 days from the expiry of the agreement to either complete payment or agree on an extension with interest.
