FIVE STEPS TO SALES SUCCESS
Choosing your agent is the first decision to make. You will be working very closely with them so you need to feel you can both communicate well. Ask to see your agent’s credentials and ask about recent sales similar to yours that they have had your suburb.
Cut-through marketing is critical, particularly in the inner-city where strata laws prevent traditional signage. Fifty percent of our buyers do not live in the CBD, so making a sale relies heavily on the agent’s existing comprehensive network of buyer contacts, and their ability to selectively choose advertising methods that tap into and draw from the right buyer groups Sydney-wide.
Presenting your property in its absolute best light is a proven strategy for achieving the maximum sale price. And you don’t need to spend a fortune. Consider repairing any small cosmetic damage, removing clutter, steam cleaning your carpets and removing any odours from curtains or blinds.
Property styling is now incredibly popular, where stylish furniture is brought into your home and arranged by professional stylists to make the most of your living space. It has been proven to lift sale prices by around 10 percent.
Should you sell by Auction or Private Treaty? Each method has its points of difference, which your agent can advise you on. However, in the inner city market for the last 2-3 years, we have found that auction is by far the best strategy, particularly if you are a committed vendor which in our experience will always attract a committed buyer.
