This simple step by step guide is an illustration of what I feel is the the best way to go about selling your home. This is how I would approach this - Adelaide
In fact I would get a couple of valuations, it is important to know what realistically your property would sell for. This allows you to set a budget for your next home. Valuations are free and there is no obligation.
Speak to a mortgage broker and find out how much you can borrow, how much will it cost every month, and how much it will cost to move. Is it affordable for you to move or perhaps an extension would be better? Again an initial chat with a broker is usually free without obligation
Can you find the type of property you are looking for? Is it within budget? Is it realistic. If you are moving area make sure you do your research - will it match your lifestyle?
Most people decide to buy a property within the first couple of minutes of seeing the property. Does the property have kerb appeal? Is the property cluttered? Are there any odd jobs that have put you off? Ask a trusted friend to give you an open and honest opinion.
How comfortable do you feel with the agent? Do you trust them? Pretend to be a buyer. Many people fall into the trap of going with the agent who values the most, has the lowest fee or has the fanciest toys. You need an agent who is going into battle for you.
If the property does not sell on the first day, do not panic. It is important that you do not put your life on hold. The housing market can be a strange beast with some weeks ridiculously busy and the next extremely quiet. Your agent should be liaising with you every couple of weeks to go through anything that may need changing.
At Suburbia, we pride ourselves on being honest and straight up. Although we do not want to upset anyone we feel it is not in our clients best interests to "string them along" in case we hurt their feelings. If the property is overpriced, if we need to make changes to the property, we will tell you.
There are some wonderful technological innovations in the property market, however, this has lead to agents being lazy. The computer does the work and I hope someone calls me. The telephone is still one of the most effective tools we use. Whether we are calling, texting or WhatsApping...
From day one, you are assigned a member of staff, you even get their mobile number. They are there to be YOUR point of contact and to make sure you get a truly personal service from start to finish. You can cal them or text them etc and they will come back to you.
The role of your estate agent is to get your property sold and for the best possible price. I firmly believe a good estate agent will pay his own fee. We make sure we get the highest offer we can from a potential buyer.
