1. Minor repairs and preparation for photos
Buyers see photos first — not your story.
That’s why we recommend:
-
repainting walls (neutral colors)
-
fixing small issues (handles, sockets, faucets)
-
removing personal items and excess furniture
-
cleaning the property to a “like new” condition
2. Property price – the most common mistake
This is where most people make mistakes. When asked how to set the price, we say it directly:
don’t guess — use data.
In practice, we:
-
compare similar sold properties
-
analyze the location (city center, Palić, surrounding areas)
-
evaluate the condition and floor level
-
assess real market demand
Price too high = no inquiries
Price too low = loss of money
That’s why we always recommend involving an agency — not for listing, but for an accurate market valuation.
3. Documentation – no sale without it
This is where many sales get stuck. Before listing, we always say:
documents first — everything else comes after.
The most common documents:
-
title deed / cadastral extract
-
owner’s personal documents
If the property was acquired:
by inheritance
-
a probate decision is required
as a gift
-
a gift agreement / decision is required
If the documentation is not in order, the buyer will walk away — or the price will go down.
If we had to summarize everything in three points:
-
prepare the property to look its best
-
set a realistic price
-
sort out the documentation in advance
Everything else is just a result of these three steps.
