Sell Your Overseas Property Direct

--- Overseas property specialist www.buyabroad.com has launched a new website for sellers to advertise their own overseas property. Having identified a gap in the market, this website offers sellers an opportunity to take control of the sale of their property and advertise direct.

For people with second homes abroad, the credit crunch is biting hard. When it comes to trying to sell on your beautiful beach fronted apartment in Cyprus, or that perfect rural retreat in Italy however, the big development companies are reluctant to help. Local agents can be unhelpful and offer little more than a small spot in their village shop window in terms of publicity. Back home, without an agent you cannot get onto the major property sales websites such as primelocation.and rightmove as they do not allow private sellers to advertise direct.

The new Sell Abroad website gives sellers a real opportunity to sell with extensive international coverage online for just a nominal charge. There is no agent’s fee, confusing marketing or badly labelled details with the ‘wrong photo’. Advertising on the website starts from £52 for three months and as a bonus, your property will be added to the Sell Abroad mail out sent to thousands of registered buyers.

The advertisement can be as long or short as you want it, within reason, and can be complimented with up to six photos. Special key features can be highlighted such as a communal pool, tennis court, beach frontage, easy access to shops. When the enquiries come in via email, you handle queries direct with the customer. Visits to the property can be arranged via a key holder locally or you can do them yourself. After all, no one knows or loves your property the way you do, so you can take advantage of that personal touch.

Whilst the concept of direct property advertising is not new for the rental market, selling property direct is only recently gaining momentum. Car sales have been handled directly for years now with the seller taking control. Autotrader magazine and website is very successful and Sell Abroad aims to lead the way in direct overseas property sales.

Having your property seen by as many people as possible is key to finding a buyer. Sell Abroad’s unique website and private owners listings is set to become the most popular location to sell your very own place in the sun.
