Selling

The Network Realty Difference

Selling your property is one of the most financially and personally significant challenges you will face, therefore we have developed an approach that gives you a professional, carefully planned, stress free, and ultimately a profitable experience.
Recent Sales. When accessing the value of a property you want to buy, it's important to be aware of other recent sales to help you arrive at the right price.

Selling Tips.

First Impressions Last

Other's people's mess always looks worse than your own. From the moment prospects arrive they are making an internal commentary on everything they see. Gardens and lawns should be well presented; rubbish should be disposed
of, paths kept clean, toys and garden tools stored away.

Illusion of Space

Remove unnecessary clutter and watch your house expand in size. Neat, well ordered cupboards, robes and pantry show that space is ample.

Don't Spend Big Money

Little Things Count

If you spend a lot of money painting, carpeting or adding a patio, you will want to add this to the price. Buyers, on the other hand, may not share your taste, even though what they are getting is almost new.

On the other hand, complete all minor repairs. Sticking doors and windows, loose door knobs, faulty plumbing or peeling paint may affect your sale.

Highlight Your Home

Nothing improves the atmosphere of a home more than brightness. Open all the curtains and switch on strategic lights to brighten up gloomy spots prior to the arrival of prospective purchasers.

Turn on the Heat

A warm, comfortably heated home on cold days adds a feeling of cosiness and welcome. On a hot day make sure your home is well ventilated.

The Scent of Success

Smokers and dog owners beware: nothing makes a buyer want to get out of a property quicker than stale air. Room deodorisers, a bowl of pot pourri and open windows will all help. Any home will be enhanced by the smell of a cake baking, or freshly brewed coffee. Often the effect is subliminal; days later purchasers don't always realise exactly why they got such good vibes from your home.

Pets Underfoot

Keep your pets out of the way, preferably out of the house. Let the agent and buyer talk undisturbed.

Take a Backseat

Avoid having too many people present during inspections. Your property consultant knows the buyer's requirements and can better emphasise the features of your home to prospective purchasers.

Never apologise for the condition or appearance of your home

This only emphasises the faults.
Don't discuss the details of the transaction such as price or terms. Leave this to your property consultant - remember, their experience and training enables them to better qualify purchasers and negotiate the best price. Furthermore, negotiations can be kept on a businesslike level when emotions are not involved.

The process, or indeed art, of presenting your property for sale is an important one to master. For most, the sale of a property comes around every 5-7 years. For others it has become a more regular event, choosing to capitalise on the opportunity of upgrading the family home and make substantial tax free gains in the process. Whatever your motive for selling, the process can either be stress free and lucrative or tense and disappointing. The good news is that you have the ability to choose.
