House sale - how to approach it best?

As motivation: The viewing stress is financially rewarded, it is work yes, but it pays off, believe me. It was stressful for us too: cleaning, tidying up, putting away personal things, stage fright, letting strangers into your "castle". Think about the money and let's go ...

And my experience from a few years ago, when we wanted to buy an existing property (in B/C locations, not Munich or so), was that the one who looks solvent and brings €10,000 cash to the viewing appointment wins. And of course pays the listed price in addition.

We didn't have to bring money. But a good appearance and the financing confirmation ready shows preparation and real willingness to buy. Often, at open viewings, there are simply curious people.

When I sold, there were also some people there within a very short time. In total, three parties were then willing to pay the price that was asked. We did not allow a mutual bidding war. I'm just not much of a seller for that. But it is a good way to increase the profit.
