Tips for a Speedy Sale

Give your property some TLC

Taking care of quick and minor repairs before you sell will be worth the money you put in.

You will substantially devalue your house if you sell it along with its baggage. Fix loose tiles, tighten or update door handles, get rid of any carpet stains and slap on a new coat of paint where it could do your house good! If you have the time and budget, make the extra investments into updating hardware, cabinets or appliances. A 'move-in ready' home makes for a quick sell!

Declutter, depersonalise, and stage

First impressions count!

Your potential buyers need to be able to imagine their own lifestyle fitting into your house. If you have still 'set up camp' in your home, you aren't doing yourself any favours. Buyers will feel bombarded by your personal property and you'll only be hindering their imagination. Declutter your interior and stage the house as a clean and fresh canvas.

Price it right

Price your property competitively from the beginning!

Overpricing your home will only keep it on the market for longer, and you'll likely have to lower your asking price later anyway. The longer your house is on the market, the harder it will be to sell, as buyers will see your property as undesirable. Your real estate agent will research homes in your area that are comparable and suggest a realistic asking price.

Find the right real estate agents

Hire an agency you can trust. Do this by asking for referrals and making sure your agent is already established, with previous experience on the property market.

A good real estate agent will help you with the entire selling process - from property pictures, writing a real estate listing that sells, hosting showings, to negotiating the best possible selling price.
