maltatoday, SUNDAY, 30 MARCH 2014 29 Business LF: I don't think there is a recipe per se but what drives me to succeed in what I do is having my son and wife always in mind. I work to keep them happy and give them all they need and more in life. What advice would you give to prospective buyers/tenants? Any market predictions you would like to make? JD: Well I think that the letting market is very strong and is getting stronger every year. LF: When thinking of renting, be sure to know what you want. The more information you give us the more we can pinpoint exactly what you are looking for. There is a prop- erty for everyone and we can cater for all. AB: Last year was a very good year for both letting and acquisition of property. With the incentive intro- duced for first time buyers, the new residence schemes and the invest- ment program, we are experiencing a very high demand for good proper- ties in all market sectors. With such high demand we are already expe- riencing an increment in property market prices. This year has already proven that it will be a very good suc- cessful year. MC: If you happen to fall in love with one of the first properties you've seen, don't be afraid to go for it. It would only be the result of careful groundwork by your consultant. A good consultant does not waste people's time - his work is intended to save you countless hours of view- ing inappropriate properties.

Marketing your property with a difference Some property owners think that selling or letting a property means simply advertising it and taking prospective buyers or tenants round the house or apartment. There is much more to it than that. These are some of the questions which should come to mind when you decide, for example, to put your property up for sale: • Which is the best way to attract buyers? • How do I know how much to ask and how quickly can I sell?? • Is my home ready for sale? Should I invest in any major improvements? • How should I go about showing the house? • How do I know if the buyers are serious or even if they can afford my house? • How can I be sure I am getting the best deal? How do I negotiate on the sale? The risks incurred when placing your property on the market are various. You have to make sure that you do not over- rice or under-price your property. Exposing your property on the market at the wrong market price would greatly delay its sale. Staff at Frank Salt Real Estate Ltd would know the prevailing market conditions at the time when you wish to place your property on the market, and will be able to guide you and give you a realistic market valuation of your property. They will be able to advise you as to how you can make the property more saleable and attractive to potential buyers. Our trained and experienced staff will also be able to advise you of the procedures and steps to take to ensure a smooth transfer, from the sale of your property to the purchase of another property. They will be able to deal with all the various aspects in concluding a satisfactory sale of your property. Every day, each of our 14 Branch Offices receives dozens of enquiries by people who are looking for a property like yours.
