Are you ready to think about selling your home? There are heaps of things to contemplate, from the current property market to a price guide. Selling your home is a challenging transaction to navigate, so it’s best to enlist an experienced real estate agent to secure the best possible sale outcome. Here are some steps to keep top of mind when selling your home.
What’s your property value?
Before selling you need to ascertain the current value of your home. While you can browse market insights to find median property prices in your area, it’s a good idea to invite an agent with local expertise for a valuation. They will scrutinise recent sales in the region, examine your home’s unique features, and predict a price guide.
Assemble your sales team
When selling your home, it’s vital you get experienced and professional support for all steps of the process, from a sales agent to tradespeople. Firstly, employ a real estate agent with a proven track record in your region and a vast database. An agent is a great starting point, because they can recommend experts from their inner circle, such as legal professionals. In addition to your selling agent, enlist a broker, solicitor, conveyancer, photographer, copywriter, and removalists.
Selling Your Home: Decision-Making Time
Once you’ve settled on your professional support team, it’s time to decide on the timing of your sale and a price guide. Discuss with your agent whether you want to go to auction or accept offers. If you want to go to auction, decide on the length of your marketing campaign, and lock in an auction date. Next, are you going to remove your furniture to make way for a property stylist? While this can incur an extra marketing cost, there are advantages in having your property depersonalised and professionally styled before the photography and inspections. Finally, it’s time to set open house times, or start accepting viewing appointments.
Call a professional
Your real estate agent can help you navigate all these decisions, so if you’re considering selling your home, do your research and enlist a knowledgeable agent from your local area.
