Your guide
to having a perfect sale
1. Preparing Your Home for Sale:
First impressions matter! Enhance your home's curb appeal by keeping the exterior clean and well-maintained. Consider freshening up the paint, mowing the lawn, and adding potted plants or flowers.
Remove personal items and clutter to help potential buyers envision themselves living in the space. Consider renting a storage unit to temporarily store excess furniture and belongings.
Attend to any minor repairs such as leaky faucets, chipped paint, or squeaky doors. These small fixes can make a big difference in the overall perception of your home.
Consider freshening up the decoration, using neutral colours.
2. Setting the Right Price:
Work with ourselves to conduct a thorough market analysis to determine the appropriate listing price for your home. Consider factors such as comparable sales in the area, current market trends, and the condition of your property.
While it's natural to want to get the highest possible price for your home, it's essential to be realistic about market conditions and pricing. An overpriced home can deter potential buyers and lead to prolonged time on the market.
3. Marketing Your Property:
High-quality photos are essential for showcasing your home online and attracting potential buyers. Consider hiring a professional photographer to capture your home's best features.
Utilise online platforms such as our website and social media, to reach a wide audience of potential buyers. Ensure that your listing includes detailed descriptions, photos, and virtual tours.
Host open houses and private showings to allow potential buyers to experience your home firsthand. Make sure your home is clean, well-lit, and staged to highlight its best features.
4. Negotiating Offers:
Work closely with ourselves to review and evaluate offers from potential buyers. Consider factors such as the offer price, contingencies, and proposed closing timeline.
If the initial offer is not acceptable, you may choose to make a counteroffer with revised terms. We will guide you through the negotiation process to ensure the best possible outcome.
5. Closing the Sale:
Once an offer is accepted, the buyer may conduct a home inspection to identify any issues or repairs needed. Be prepared to negotiate repairs or credits based on the inspection findings.
Work with us and legal representatives to finalise all paperwork and details leading up to the closing date. This may include coordinating with the buyer's lender, scheduling a final walkthrough, and transferring utilities.
On the day of closing, both parties will sign the necessary documents, and ownership of the property will be transferred to the buyer.
