Real Estate Prospects for “Value Sustainability”

Everyone is trying to scramble nowadays to find how to easily bounce back after this pandemic. And with the uncertainty of time and the unlikely end of this crisis in the soonest, many are resigning themselves to get by just so they can still have some investments until the vaccine is found for Covid-19.

So now you are ready to  SELL  your investment. How should it be positioned to command the highest price? Is it equally important to sell it fast? Should you employ a professional real estate agent? Any renovations needed? A few tried and true factors may be in your favor: A sale to an owner occupant typically commands a higher price than a sale to an investor. Owner occupants may even pay premiums if there are building attributes and functionalities that appeal to their social, business, and spatial needs.
