Your guide to a fuss free property sale

From needing more space to relocating, there are many reasons why homeowners choose to sell their properties. If you're thinking of bringing yours to the market, having all the information from the start can simplify the journey and help you prepare for any next steps. Let us guide you through.

Understanding the process

If you've never sold a property before, you might be wondering how long it will take. The timeline will depend on a few factors, like your Property Consultant's strategy to exit you from the market and the speed of communication between everyone involved. The price will also determine the level of interest.

The payment plays a big part in the timeline too. If you're a financed seller dealing with a financed buyer, the sale can take approximately 8 weeks. For a financed buyer and cash seller or vice versa, the process can take about 6 weeks – while a cash buyer and cash seller would be looking at an estimated 1-4 weeks.

Agreeing on a sales price

Advertising at a price that’s too high might not get you any enquiries, leaving the property on the market for a long time. If the price is too low, it’s not fair to you as the seller. So, what's the magic number?

The price will always be indicated by the market, so this is best left to the experts. An experienced Property Consultant will be able to guide you and align the price to the current market conditions. They will also support you with data, expertise, and a marketing strategy to sell your property.

Choosing the right agent

Selling your property is a big decision, and working with an agent that specialises in your area will ensure a smooth journey and the best possible outcome. They will also be the communicator between you and potential buyers, so it’s essential to feel comfortable enough to have open and honest conversations throughout the process.

It's worth asking a few questions about the agency as well. Do they have a strong Marketing Department to give your property the exposure it needs? How's their Customer Service? Do they provide a wide range of services and partner with relevant companies?
