Selling a vacant or abandoned home can feel completely overwhelming to Kalamazoo homeowners. If you live out of state, need to sell your house fast, or simply just don’t know where to start with the selling process, it can be very stressful.

If you’re looking to sell a vacant or abandoned home in Kalamazoo the traditional way, here are eight tips to help you in the process.
Get A Professional Appraisal
Before putting your property on the market, it is important to get a professional appraisal. This will help you determine the fair market value of your home and ensure that you’re pricing it correctly if you decide to list it on the market.
Clean Up The Property
First impressions are very important to potential buyers. It is essential to clean up the property before scheduling any showings. This may include removing debris, deep cleaning the home, and trimming up the grass and landscaping. You may also need to make repairs and possibly refresh the paint.
Staging The Home
If possible, and if it fits within your budget, stage the home to make it look more appealing to potential buyers. This can be as simple as adding some furniture and home décor. For better results, hire a professional stager, but please keep in mind this can be expensive depending on the size of the home.
High Quality Photos
When listing your property online, it is very important to take high-quality photos that showcase your home’s best features. This will help attract more potential buyers and increase your chances of selling quickly. When working with an agent, they can help hire a professional to take the photos and they may also offer video and drone footage services as well.
List On Multiple Platforms
To reach as many potential buyers as possible, list your property on multiple platforms, such as Zillow, Trulia, and Realtor.com. If you are working with an agent, some will include this in their marketing, others may charge you an additional fee so it is important to confirm these details.
Flexible With Showings
When selling a vacant or abandoned home, it’s important to be flexible with showings. Be willing to show the property at different times of the day or on weekends. With the house being vacant, showings should be relatively easy to coordinate and schedule.
Consider Working With An Agent
While selling a vacant or abandoned home on your own is possible, it can be challenging. Consider working with a real estate agent who has experience selling properties in your area. Just keep in mind, that if your house sells with a Kalamazoo agent, there may be additional fees and commission that is involved so make sure to understand these costs.
