A good property can sit on the market for months if it is badly priced or badly presented. Azaad Azmi's advice: treat your sale like a product launch.
Get your documents ready first
Buyers and their lawyers will ask for deeds, survey plans, approvals and recent rates receipts. Having these ready builds trust and stops deals collapsing at the last minute.
Price it on evidence, not hope
Look at what similar properties nearby actually sold for, not just asking prices online. An overpriced listing gets ignored, then has to be cut, which makes buyers suspicious.
Fix the small things
Damp patches, broken tiles, tired paint and leaking taps all lower offers. Simple repairs often return far more than they cost.
Stage it like a designer
This is where an interior design background makes a difference:
- Clear clutter and personal items so buyers can picture themselves living there
- Use warm, neutral colours and good lighting
- Arrange furniture to show the size and flow of each room
- Add a few plants and soft textiles for a fresh, tropical feel
Invest in great photos and video
Most buyers, especially Sri Lankans living overseas, first see your property on a phone. Professional photos, a short walkthrough video and an accurate floor plan bring more serious enquiries.
Reach the right buyers
List where your buyers actually look, from local property portals to social media and overseas Sri Lankan communities in the Gulf, UK and Australia.
