Present your home looking at its best. Buyers will usually be visiting a number of properties on the same day and yours may very well be in competition with others.

We recommend you start with the exterior of your property as first impressions are lasting.

Preparing: trim lawns & edges, sweep pavers, clear paths, weed garden beds, sweep cobwebs, check gates, inspect fences, sparkling windows, clean gutters and clean sheds of clutter. Showing: Any animals to be locked away or removed from property.

Preparing: clean carpets/tiles, clean walls, avoid clutter it makes a room look smaller, each home has its own aroma so to neutralise odours we advise scented plug-ins rather than incense.

Showing: beds made, dishes washed, papers and toys stored away, a/c or heater before open/viewing, leave lights & lamps on and open curtains plenty of light improves atmosphere, add vases of fresh flowers around home.

Overpriced properties will help sell the realistic priced properties.

The longer a property is on the market the more its value can depreciate in the minds of buyers. Many genuine buyers are eliminated by over priced properties. If you start high and then reduce the property, usually the property will sell for less than if you started competitively. You and your family may become stressed with trying to keep your home in good condition for the dwindling number of inspections.

The first period of exposure when a property is fresh on the market, is the most critical time of the sale. How a property is marketed initially greatly influences the final sale price.

Avoid the temptation to be influenced by the experiences other people have had in the sale of their homes. The sale price of your home should be based on prices achieved recently within your area. Question the motives of anyone who may suggest that you could obtain a higher price.

Remember the purchaser will ultimately determine the true value of your property. Astute purchasers will develop a sense of values for properties and will quickly reject those they perceive to be overpriced (often even before inspecting them). Many purchasers are embarrassed to make offers that are substantially below your asking price and shop in price ranges.

The key to obtaining a successful sale is starting with the right combination of marketing, advertising and professional guidance. Notice those properties that have been what seems forever on the market, many of those will sell below their potential.

We share the common goal to achieve the best price for you in the shortest possible time.
