Ensure your advertised price is right
One of the most important factors when selling your property is ensuring you advertise it at the right price. A great property can sit on the market for a prolonged period due to an agency setting the asking price way above market value.
More than likely, an overpriced property on the market will take a lot longer to gain any genuine interest and ultimately sell. This is where we come in, you will be assigned your own 5 Real Estate Property Representative who will guide you through the sales process and provide you with comprehensive support.
We understand that the price is arguably, the important factor, so we will book a free valuation at a time that suits you. During this valuation, our expert will discuss and agree with you on the best selling price for your property.
Make the best first impression possible
This seems like a basic step but it’s important. The first impression with a potential buyer is something that can’t be overlooked. First impressions can be face-to-face or online, which we will discuss in more detail within this guide. Make your property look appealing and enticing. Doing this, it will allow the potential buyer to imagine themselves living at your property.
Without discussing the basic tips of keeping the property clean and tidy, it is important to make sure all necessary repairs are complete, the highlights of the property are outlined, whether that be a spectacular view or spacious gardens and your decor is not overbearing as this could influence a persons feeling about the property.
Think about it, what things stick out in your mind when visiting a property? Make sure to try your best to make the first impression of your property a good one!
