Organise a Home Appraisal
A home appraisal is an inspection of your property to determine a realistic selling price and identify the most valuable aspects of your home. The agent will estimate the replacement costs of internal and external finishing’s and additional features that may be added to the property. The agent may ask if you can provide a plan of your property – including a building plan, lists and ages of special features and improvements made to your property that may not be immediately apparent. This information will be used to develop a marketing campaign. Here at Professionals, we offer our clients a free market appraisal. All you need to do is call the office on 9743 6400.

Research methods of sale
There are numerous ways of selling your house; fixed price, Private Treaty, tender, auction or negotiation. It is important for you to discuss with your agent about which approach is most suitable for the sale of your property. There are pros and cons of every approach and it is essential to be aware of these. For instance, a fixed price or Private Treaty will attract only buyers in your price range, whereas an auction attracts highly competitive buyers. It is valuable to learn as much information about these techniques, by asking your friendly agent at Professionals for their expert opinion on the safest method for your property. Our free Pathway to Selling booklet has a comprehensive list of these pros and cons.
Prepare accordingly if you have an open home
It is important to be prepared when it comes to an open house. Professionals believe that buyers will spend more time at the property if you aren’t present. Whilst this may be scary, our agents will be able to answer any questions that may be asked by buyers, and by you. We suggest minimising your personal effects within the home, secure your valuables, create a low volume atmosphere, organise for pets to be out of the house, brighten up your home and ensure it smells pleasant. Your agent will be in contact with you directly after each open home to provide feedback and keep you informed with a report of activities – it is up to you how frequently you would like to be contacted. Our Free Pathway to Selling booklet has a more in-depth explanation of the preparation recommended.
Here at Professionals we are always focused on the happiness and satisfaction of our clients. We aim to go above and beyond to ensure they are fulfilled during their experience with our Agents.
