Buying and Selling

MyRoof is a property listing company – we are NOT an estate agency. MyRoof works on the very simple principle of supply and demand; that demand being the constant asset of property.

Because of the fact that we use technology such as the internet, digital photography and advanced measuring equipment for floor plans to streamline the process of property listing, we are able to offer our listing services at extremely low rates.

Here is some information about the two sides to any transaction involving property: the Buying and Selling.

From the seller’s perspective there is one thing you can do to make your property more attractive to buyers: lower the price. By charging a very low listing fee MyRoof enables the seller to keep their property’s price as competitive as possible.

How can MyRoof help the seller?

• MyRoof offers the seller a comprehensive package that helps the seller through every step involved in the selling of a property – from valuating the property, to obtaining the electrical clearance certificate and all the way to signing over ownership of the property.
• MyRoof advertises the seller’s property directly to our vast database of potential buyers, and will e-mail those interested in properties in your area and adhering to their specifications.
• MyRoof will randomly display the seller’s property as a featured property the front page of our website, which gives your property even more exposure!
• MyRoof advertises our website extensively using various media both locally and internationally to ensure that the maximum number of potential buyers visit our site and see your property.

From the buyer’s perspective there are the two main things that are considered when looking to purchase a property: location and price.
