Selecting the right agent is crucial. They should be knowledgeable about the local market, well-presented, and easy to relate to. Here are some key questions to ask potential agents:
There are three main options for selling your property:
A strong marketing campaign is essential. It should include:
Signage, direct mail, open homes, and newspaper and website listings
Professional photography and scriptwriting
A personalised marketing plan with options to increase exposure
Ensure you receive and agree to an itemised marketing and advertising campaign before it begins.
Request a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) from your agent, comparing three similar properties sold within five kilometres in the past six months. Avoid overpricing, as it can deter buyers and stagnate the selling process. Don’t choose an agent solely based on a high price estimate.
First impressions count. Make your property as appealing as possible:
Refresh the exterior, clean the roof and gutters, and tidy the garden.
Clean the interior thoroughly and declutter.
Ensure kitchens and bathrooms look their best.
Make necessary minor repairs and avoid over-capitalising.
Consider hiring a home stylist to enhance the appeal.
Schedule open homes and inspections at optimal times. Let the agent host these events to make buyers feel comfortable and more likely to share their opinions.
