If you’re looking to sell a vacant or abandoned home in Eugene it can be a daunting task, especially if you reside out of state. Not knowing where to start can be a challenge, and it can feel even more stressful if you’re in a situation that requires you to sell the property quickly. Finding the right buyer for a house that has been vacant, as well as neglected or poorly maintained can be extremely tricky if you are looking to sell traditionally. However, the team at Property Bridge is here to help you sell your home quickly and easily without any hassle by purchasing the property ourselves.

Our team will take care of everything, from start to finish, so that you can focus on other matters and whatever your next steps happen to be.
Although, If you are looking to sell an abandoned or vacant home in Eugene the traditional way, we wanted to share these eight tips to help you out:
1. Get a professional appraisal
Before listing the property or doing any marketing at all, you’ll want to get a professional appraisal. Having your home appraised will allow you to determine the fair market value of your property as it currently sits before listing it on the MLS.
2. Clean up the property
It is essential to clean up the property both inside and out to attract the largest potential buyer’s pool that you can, first impressions matter. This includes, but is not limited to, cutting the grass, and doing any other needed landscaping that may be required, such as cutting back limbs, weeding flower beds, and removing any invasive plant life. You’ll also need to clean up any clutter and debris from around the property, this includes the big to the small. That old car that you planned to fix up and the stack of recycling that never made it to the curb, all of it needs to go so that you can present the best possible curb appeal. It’s very likely that you’re going to have to roll up your sleeves and grab a paintbrush as well to touch up any areas that have become chipped or damaged.
3. Stage the home for potential buyers
If possible, stage the home to make it look more appealing to potential buyers. This can be as simple as adding some furniture and decor to make the space feel more welcoming. This often means though that you’ll need to remove any clutter you have around the house as well as box up overly personal photos and art. Creating depth, but also open space is critical to put your best foot forward for showings. For the better results, hire a professional stager, but keep in mind, this can be costly and you’ll likely have to pay per month, meaning that if your house doesn’t sell or a buyer pulls out of the deal you may end up paying thousands in staging fees.
4. Take high-quality photos of your property
When listing your property online, it’s important to take high-quality photos that showcase your home’s best features. This will help attract more potential buyers and increase your chances of selling quickly. Hire a professional photographer to capture interior and drone footage for your home. You’d be amazed how many people try to list their homes using cellphone pictures. This will lead to a poor quality listing and may lead to your house staying on the market for much longer than you intend.
5. List the property on multiple platforms
To reach as many potential buyers as possible, list your property on multiple platforms, such as Zillow, Trulia, and Realtor.com. Some agents include this in their marketing, while others will charge you an additional fee.
6. Be flexible with showings
When selling a vacant or abandoned home, it’s important to be flexible with showings. This means being willing to show the property at different times of the day or on weekends. Without people in the house, showing it should be relatively easy.
7. Consider working with a real estate agent
While selling a vacant or abandoned home on your own is possible, it can be challenging. Consider working with a real estate agent who has experience selling properties in your area. Just keep in mind, that if your house sells with a Eugene agent, you could be on the hook for thousands of dollars in commissions.
