Selling a home isn’t quite as simple as sticking up a ‘for sale’ sign and waiting for the buyers to come to you. If you sell it, they may not come.
Here’s a few pointers to get you started.
Choosing an agent
Real estate agents are experts in selling properties. Your agent will be in charge of advertising, showing and completing the legal requirements of selling your property, so choose carefully.
It’s their job to focus on the fine print while you provide them details and insights that will get your property onto the market and over the line.
Prospective agents will usually appraise your property and provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA).
Online advertising
87% of people use the Internet as their main tool to search for property to buy1, so online is a very important part of your advertising schedule.
With Australians using the Internet and mobile more than ever to find a home, it’s essential to have a strong digital presence for your property.
To reach the maximum number of potential buyers without blowing your budget, your online advertising should be tailored to work for you, considering factors like average days in market, other properties for sale in the area and the value of your property.
Once your listing is up and running, share it with appropriate networks – friends, family, colleagues.
The more you share, the more likely it is your listing will get found, liked and ultimately, sold!
Presenting your property
It’s important to make sure your property looks its best from the moment it goes onto the market. It should be clean, tidy and well-maintained.
As not everyone’s tastes are the same, it’s safer to assume a more neutral decoration style. Think of your own experiences buying the property you’re now selling. What helped you imagine yourself in that home?
Good photography is critical. A photograph is usually the first impression a potential buyer will have of your house, and it can influence their decision to watch an interactive tour, or visit in person.
