Three Biggest Seller Mistakes

The process of selling is different for everyone, and if your property is taking longer than expected to sell it is only natural to ask ‘Why?’. There may well be no specific reason as to why it hasn’t sold yet – the market fluctuates and sometimes the right buyer just takes some time. However there are three main things that you should definitely consider in order to maximise your chances of selling.

1. PRICE. Your property needs to be priced accordingly to current market conditions. Today’s prospective purchasers can easily access data on recent sales as well as what is currently on the market. For this reason, if your property is overpriced, purchasers will know and they simply won’t inquire. Our sales team are always available to give you a free, no-obligation market appraisal that is accurate to today’s pricing.
2. CONDITION. The condition of your property can have a great impact on the sale. Often prospective purchasers can’t see past the mess and clutter of a home, so it is important to make sure your property is presented well when clients inspect. First impression is very important with selling property, so give your home the best chance possible by presenting it to its full potential. If you are considering repairs or renovations before selling, our sales agents are more than happy to sit down and discuss how certain improvements may help your sale, and if they are worth it or not.
3. MARKETING. The marketing of your property is one of the most important contributors to selling. What if the perfect purchaser for your home is out there, but they haven’t seen your home yet? At Professionals we will advertise your home on all major real estate websites with a personalised write-up and an array of photos to emphasize features. On a regular basis we also advertise in the Murray Valley Standard and/or Saturday Advertiser to ensure that your home is seen by purchasers without internet access. We also have a beautiful sign made for the front of your home detailing its main features, so that anyone driving past will know the basics, and hopefully call for an inspection time. On top of this, we create personalised brochures, and put your display all properties in our window and latest buyers guide. We cover every form of advertising so that you know that the right buyer will see your property.
