SellersThe successful sale of your property can sometimes be a challenging experience. To ensure that your property sells at the best possible price and to avoid the legal pitfalls of property transactions, we have specific expertise in the appraising, marketing, financing, conveyancing and negotiation of all real estate dealings.
Evaluating the ‘Right’ PriceTo start with, your property needs to be realistically priced and that requires a specialised knowledge of the market place, as well as an objective evaluation or appraisal of your property itself. Creating the ‘Best’ AdvertisingThe advertising of your property must then be effective enough to attract enquiry, without in any way being misleading or in breach of the legislation regarding misrepresentation and trade practices. Sorting out the ‘Genuine’ BuyerThe handling of resultant enquiries and the sorting of genuine buyers from “sticky beakers” is the next process requiring skill and experience, along with the control of people wishing to view your property. Representing with ‘Objectivity’In dealing with prospective buyers, we are able to discuss the property in an objective unbiased way, thereby putting people at ease. We are also in a position to provide them with credible sales evidence and local market comparisons. That Essential ‘Subject Sale’When a genuine buyer is found, the sale is often conditional on the sale of the buyers own property, and that is where we really count by being able to facilitate and control that essential prior sale. Helping the Buyer with ‘Finance’Very often we are also able to secure a sale by assisting prospective buyers with their financial requirements and that in itself necessitates a sound knowledge of the costs and availability of home finance. Negotiation ... ‘What Next’?Having successfully priced, marketed and negotiated a property, we are then responsible for the written contract of sale and therein lies a pitfall for the unwary. Contractual ... Statutory ... ‘& More’Title details have to be correct, the buyer must be certain that the property does in fact belong to the seller, the buyer has to be confident of the security of any deposits paid, all general conditions of the sale must be identified and understood and all matters such as stamp duty, tax and utility charges must be attended to prior to settlement. When only a Professional ‘Can Do’If a would be buyer arrived on your doorstep with cash and an unconditional offer to buy, or if you yourself are expert in the areas of marketing, financing, appraising and negotiating real estate, and have bags of time to spend, then the sale of your property without professional assistance might seem straight-forward. But otherwise, make sure you protect your most valuable asset and engage our services and be confident in knowing you do not pay a commission unless your property sells. The Ultimate ‘Protection’Whilst all agents need to be licensed, we are also members of our professional body, REIWA, whose standards of practice aim at the greatest public protection and service.
