Subtopic: How to Speed Up the Selling Process Without Cutting Corners


Understanding the Timeline

In 2025, the average time to sell a home in Puerto Rico is between 45 to 120 days. However, some homes take less than 30 days to receive an offer, while others can linger for months due to preventable mistakes.

The goal isn’t just to sell fast—it’s to sell smart. That’s where our expert team at Puerto Rico Real Estate, PSC comes in. We show sellers how to prepare, position, and market their property to maximize interest and minimize time on the market—without reducing value or skipping important steps.


🕒 Why Selling Can Take Time (And How to Avoid It)

Here are the common roadblocks that delay a property sale in Puerto Rico:

  • Overpricing the property

  • Poor listing photos and lack of marketing

  • Unclear title or missing legal documents

  • CRIM, appraisal, or survey issues

  • Limited showing availability

  • Choosing the wrong real estate partner

Now let’s focus on the solutions. Below are proven ways to speed up the sale of your property—the right way.


✅ 1. Price It Right from Day One

Nothing delays a sale more than starting too high. Overpriced listings get fewer showings, stay on the market longer, and may require price drops that make buyers suspicious.

What we do:
At Puerto Rico Real Estate, PSC, we perform a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) using recent local comps and buyer behavior trends to help you list your home at a price that’s both competitive and profitable.


📸 2. Invest in Professional Presentation

Today’s buyers shop online first. If your listing doesn’t shine on screen, they’ll scroll right past it.

What we do:
We offer professional photography, drone footage, video walkthroughs, and 360° virtual tours to help your property stand out online—and in buyer inboxes.


🧹 3. Prepare the Property

Buyers fall in love with homes that are clean, fresh, and move-in ready. Small fixes go a long way.

What we suggest:

  • Declutter and depersonalize

  • Deep clean floors, walls, kitchens, and baths

  • Add fresh paint and minor updates

  • Boost curb appeal with landscaping or pressure washing

What we do:
We guide you on what to fix—and what not to spend money on—to improve first impressions and shorten time on market.


📑 4. Get the Legal Documents Ready Early

A significant number of delays in Puerto Rico happen after an offer is accepted—when title, CRIM, or other legal documents are missing, outdated, or incorrect.

What we do:
We coordinate with trusted attorneys, notaries, and surveyors to review and organize everything before listing, including:

  • Escritura (title deed)

  • Plano de mensura

  • Catastro and CRIM records

  • Appraisal or tazación

  • Inheritance paperwork or power of attorney, if needed

By having everything ready, we can move fast once the right buyer is in front of us.


📣 5. Use a Modern, Targeted Marketing Strategy

A “For Sale” sign is no longer enough. Your property needs maximum exposure to qualified buyers both locally and abroad.

What we do:

  • Create an MLS listing with keyword-rich descriptions

  • Promote your property on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube

  • Use Google SEO to reach buyers searching for homes in Puerto Rico

  • Market to our buyer database, including investors and off-island buyers

  • Create custom campaigns based on your property’s unique strengths

The result: more views, more interest, more offers.


🌍 6. Support for Off-Island Owners

If you live in the mainland U.S. or abroad, trying to sell your property remotely can be stressful—unless you work with the right team.

What we do:
We handle the entire process for off-island owners—from preparing your home, coordinating showings, facilitating remote closings, and handling all communication in Spanish or English.

Our sellers often close without ever needing to travel to Puerto Rico.


💼 7. Work with a Trusted Local Real Estate Company

Selling in Puerto Rico isn’t the same as selling in the mainland U.S. It requires knowledge of:

  • Local regulations

  • Island-specific buyer behavior

  • Bilingual negotiation

  • Property Registry procedures

  • Remote closing logistics

Why work with us?
Puerto Rico Real Estate, PSC is built on island expertise, transparent communication, and a commitment to excellence. We are not just real estate agents—we’re your trusted partners from beginning to end.
