A Few Selling Tips
1. When should I think about advertising my property?
The best time to start advertising is really at any time however we do get an influx of buyers usually at the start of a new year, start of a new financial year and just before the Christmas & Easter periods. These times not only spread our fantastic weather and all that the Wide Bay and greater region has to offer but boasts proudly our competitive property listings and sales results.
2. First Impressions Matter
First impression is the most important – you want prospective buyers to gape over the wow factor upon entering your premises– tidy gardens, mowed or manicured lawns, fresh coat of paint outside, colour contrasting trims give a real sense of freshness. Well-maintained properties sell!
3. Inside Matters
Fix chipped corners, skirtings, bench tops, fresh coats of painted walls and architraves in neutral colours. Fresh aromas throughout the home. Practical shelving and plant stands, plump up new cushions and bedding make all the difference and be sure to de-cobweb, dust and de-clutter are just a few tips to get you on your way. Remember outside entertainment areas to be clean and tidy.
4. Is it best to sell at auction?
We have found public auctions unfortunately are not effective in our region. Consult your Sutton Nationwide Realty Sales Agent for the best method for selling your home.
5. Every Detail can make a Difference
Tell us what your favourite spots on your property are and why. Whether it is a favourite view, a spot to sit and have your morning coffee or just somewhere that makes you feel at home and warm. We can point these areas to prospective buyers. Nobody knows or loves your property like you do.
6. We have Local Knowledge
Sutton Nationwide Realty being a local agency we can best represent your property with knowing what is important to every age group and what the area holds in matters of employment, schooling, transport and local facilities. Sutton Nationwide Realty knows of other properties in the area in competition to your sale and can give comparisons. We know our area that we also share with our Sellers, so it makes it easier for us to match make people with the best properties.
