GUARANTEE Your Best Chances For A Successful Sale

When you're in a sellers market as we currently are, it means there's an abundance of buyers but a lack of properties on the market. These conditions favour the seller, making it a fantastic market to sell in.

However, as Agents and sellers are beginning to notice, the market is starting to taper off from absolutely insane, back to still great selling conditions.

For this reason, as owners try to take advantage of the high sale prices, it's important now more than ever to ensure you are doing everything in your power as the homeowner to ensure your property sells quickly and for the highest possible price.

Here's a list of things you can do to guarantee yourself the best chances of selling fast and for a great price:

• Choose a local agent who is familiar with the conditions, fluctuations, local conveniences as well as the advantages and disadvantages of your area.

• Ensure the agent you choose has a great understanding of and uses quality marketing techniques. This includes professional photography, an accurate floor plan, video, social media and all internet portals.

• Make sure the property is presented at it's absolute best! - This is what will make you stand out when buyers are scrolling through hundred of listings on the internet. We all know that first impressions are important. So don't allow one area of the home to let it down like an overgrown front garden, lack of lighting or little to no styling.

• Know your responsibilities and expectations as the Vendor - It's not solely up to the Agent to sell your home. Ask your Agent what you can do to make their job easier. For example, get your home ready for the open house each week by turning all the lights on, playing music, light a candle, open all the doors, etc.

• Be realistic on price - One of the most common reasons for a property sitting on the market too long will be the owners expectation of price. Your house is only worth what the market is willing to pay.

• Separate yourself from the home - It's time to look at it as a product, not your family home with lots of memories. It's not the easiest thing to do but thinking with your heart can be dangerous for the sale. Prepare yourself to be able to leave the home and start fresh somewhere new.

It's currently a great time to sell your home but do yourself some favours and make sure you've done everything in your power to set up for ideal selling conditions. It can be a stressful process but ask us or your Agent for guidance.
