Method of Sale: When it comes to selling your property, there are two popular methods to choose from:
- Private Treaty
- Auction
Each has its own advantages and it is advisable to speak to your agent about the benefits that suit your property.
Price: Owners and agents do not decide what a property is worth. The agent is to be a "translator" in the overall market determination of the current 'worth' of a property - a specific price, at a specific time.
Preparation of your home: The preparation you put into getting your property ready for sale can be the difference between getting a standard price and getting a great price. And, the best part is, it's not hard, time consuming or expensive. The objective is to obtain a clean, spacious welcoming feel.
- Inside the home: remove rubbish & cobwebs, clean windows, check for odour smells - animals, strong food or cigarette.
- Clean all areas including bathroom & kitchen
- Remove all personal clutter - create more space but leave some personal or travel photos to give a welcoming feeling. Remove any broken furniture.
- Repairs: making any minor repairs to the property. Don't get carried away & don't over spend.
- Garden: tidy up, cut lawns, remove weeds, prune trees & shrubs
- Pool: clean, tidy up equipment and display outdoor furniture in an attractive manner.
- Certificates: make sure your home is up to date with all compliances including pool & renovations.
Inspection day: make sure the property is well presented. The smell of percolated coffee or insent burning or fresh flowers makes the home feel inviting.
Expect inconvenience - keeping your home presentable and going out during viewing times can be expected during the selling period.
