Everything you need to know to sell your property quickly and for the best price
Before You List
The work you do before your property even hits the market has the biggest impact on the final selling price and speed of the sale.
Potential buyers need to be able to envision themselves living in the space.
Pack away family photos, personal collections, and religious items.
Go through every room and remove unnecessary furniture, old magazines, and anything that makes the space feel small or crowded. A clean, minimalist look is best.
Buyers will look inside closets and cabinets. Tidy and organized storage spaces give the impression of ample room and a well-maintained property.
A spotless property signals to buyers that it has been well cared for.
Consider hiring professional cleaners for a deep clean.
Pay special attention to kitchens (clean appliances, countertops) and bathrooms (scrub tiles, fix grout, polish fixtures).
Clean windows let in more light, making rooms feel brighter and bigger. Ensure floors are sparkling clean.
Small fixes can have a big return on investment.
Repair leaky faucets, broken tiles, holes in walls, and doors that don't close properly.
This is one of the cheapest and most effective upgrades. Use neutral colours like off-white, beige, or light grey to appeal to the widest range of buyers.
Consider replacing old light fixtures, cabinet handles, and switches for a modern look.
The exterior is the first thing a buyer sees.
Ensure the entryway, stairs, and front door are clean and welcoming.
Tidy up any garden space, trim overgrown plants, and add a few new potted plants for a touch of colour.
A freshly painted front door can dramatically improve the look of your property.
Having your paperwork in order from the beginning prevents major delays later. Ensure you have clear, original or certified copies of:
The primary proof of your ownership.
Shows the property is registered in your name in the government land records.
Proof that all land development taxes are paid.
Recent, paid copies of gas, electricity, and water bills.
The apartment owners' association clearance certificate, if applicable.
Art and Science of Property Valuation
Setting the correct price is both an art and a science. Price it too high, and you'll scare away buyers. Price it too low, and you'll lose money.
Use our platform to see the prices of similar properties that have recently sold or are currently for sale in your area. Consider location, size, condition, and amenities.
You may have years of memories in your home, but buyers see it as a product. Price it based on its market value, not your emotional attachment.
For a more accurate price, you can hire a professional property valuer.
Digital Presentation is Crucial
How you present your property online is crucial in today's digital market.
Your photos are the first point of contact with 99% of buyers.
Grainy, dark photos taken on a phone will not work. Hire a professional property photographer or use a high-quality DSLR camera.
Open all curtains and blinds and shoot during the day.
Capture wide-angle shots of each room and highlight key features like a modern kitchen, a nice balcony view, or a spacious living room.
A short video walkthrough can give buyers a much better feel for the layout and flow of the property.

Your text should tell a story and sell a lifestyle.
Mention the key selling points (e.g., "Spacious 3-Bedroom Apartment with Lake View in Gulshan").
Don't just list facts. Describe the benefits. Instead of "big windows," say "sun-drenched living room perfect for morning tea."
Talk about nearby schools, hospitals, parks, shopping malls, and transportation links.
To reach the maximum number of serious buyers, list your property on a trusted and popular online portal.
Creating a listing on our site is easy and effective.
Impress Buyers in Person
Once buyers are interested, you need to impress them in person.
Try to accommodate viewing requests as much as possible, including on weekends and evenings.
Before a viewing, do a quick tidy-up. Turn on all the lights, open the windows for fresh air, and create a welcoming atmosphere.
Greet buyers at the door and then let them walk through the property at their own pace. Be available to answer questions, but don't follow them around.
Final Steps to Sale
You've received an offer! Now it's time to handle the final steps professionally.
Look at the price, the proposed payment schedule, and any other conditions.
Don't be offended by a low offer. Respond calmly with a counter-offer. Keep all communication clear and respectful.
The final stages involve legal paperwork like the sale agreement (বায়নাপত্র - Bainapatra) and the final registration of the deed. It is highly recommended to hire an experienced property lawyer to protect your interests and ensure the process is done correctly.
Remember there will be costs associated with the sale, including registration fees, taxes, and legal fees.
