Bahamas Home Buyers are Smart

IF all our years in Bahamas real estate have taught us only one thing, it's this: home buyers are smart.
They shop around the real estate market and make comparisons.
It's similar to buying a car. Let's say you go to a nearby car lot in the Bahamas and there are two cars for sale – both of the same model, year and price.
That's where the similarities end.
One of the cars is scratched and ‘dinged.' The tires are worn, the air conditioning doesn't work and the engines slow to turn over. It's got candy wrappings on the floor.
The other car has been well maintained. It's got a shiny finish, spotless clean windows, starts in a flash and the engine purrs. And it's clean as a whistle.
Which car would you choose?
Home buyers use the same decision making process. They look at homes at similar prices. They open the windows, pull out the kitchen draws, inspect the walls and floors. They look at the garden.
The best advice we can offer sellers is: make sure your home is in good shape.
