Tips to sell your property in Rotterdam

Rotterdam is a modern city in the province of South Holland. The city attracts young people who work in the city. A modern home with wooden herringbone floors and a white kitchen with a kitchen island is very popular these days.

A home with a lot of light and not too many pieces of furniture appears larger than it actually is. So make sure to have a tidy and spacious house. A major renovation of your home is not necessary. Take care of a new coat of paint and repair all defects. This way you maintain a neat impression of your home for a visitor. Damage can make a home appear unreliable.

Affordable and emerging neighborhoods in Rotterdam are: Tussendijken, Oud-Mathenesse and Bospolder.
