Old Building Without an Elevator: How to Present the Apartment Properly (753)
Seller relevance: high — proper presentation minimizes drawbacks and speeds up the sale
Overview
Many apartments in Haifa are located in older buildings without elevators, which can deter buyers.
However, with the right presentation, the lack of an elevator does not necessarily lower the price or slow down the sale.
In this article, we explain how to showcase an apartment in an old building without an elevator in the best possible way.
Key Points for Presenting the Apartment
- Cleanliness and Order
- Ensure that both the entrance and the apartment are neat and well-maintained
- Lighting and Ventilation
- Bright rooms and fresh air create a sense of space
- Location Advantages
- Proximity to transportation, shops, and schools can compensate for the absence of an elevator
- Apartment Condition
- Fixing minor defects improves overall impression and reduces focus on the building’s shortcomings
How to Soften the Perception of No Elevator
- Highlight convenient staircases, safe steps, and secure handrails
- Emphasize apartment accessibility: lower floors, spacious rooms, suitability for elderly or children
- Use high-quality photos and video presentations to show comfort and appeal
Practical Recommendations
- Arrange a professional photo and video session of the apartment and entrance
