Selling Tips

Presentation Is Everything And We Can Help?

First impressions count, which is why the presentation of your property is critical for encouraging buyer interest. Below are some simple suggestions that will improve your properties appearance and help you achieve the highest possible price.

Exteriors

• A bright and cheery home invites inspection. Keep your lawn trimmed and edged and the flowerbeds cultivated. Remove leaves from the paths and verandas and be sure that the windows are sparkling.
• Remove obstructions - Remove any objects from the floor such as children's toys, which might cause accidents. Keep the front entrance and stairways clear.

Sparkling interiors

• Clean the walls, floors and skirting boards as well as marks on the carpet or around light switches. Put clutter away neatly in cupboards, clear the table and counter tops and don’t leave dishes in the sink. A thorough house-cleaning will give your home that well-kept look.

Odours

•  Refresh your house and remove any unpleasant or strong odours.

Storage and Closet Space

• Storage is an important feature. Accentuate the storage space by removing any unnecessary articles that may have accumulated.

Fix faults

•  Repair any defects that might annoy buyers, such as dripping taps, sticking doors, loose tiles, etc.

Bedrooms and bathrooms

•  Neat orderly rooms look larger. Tidy up the bedroom for a spacious appearance. Check and double-check your bathroom. Clean, bright bathrooms have sold many houses.

Leave the house

• Avoid having too many people present during inspections. The prospective buyer will feel crowded and uncomfortable. Do not shadow them or their representative.

Remove animals from the house

• Animals can get in the way and some people are allergic or don't like animals, so keep them out of sight.

Background sound

• If you choose to play music make sure it is subtle. Turn off any TVs or radios, they can distract people. Let the sales representative and the buyer talk free from disturbances.

Ways to Sell:

Auction

No matter what you’re selling, you want to maximize your sale price with a minimum of stress and fuss. Raine & Horne Bondi Beach Auction Services will help you achieve both.

The Auction process harnesses the powers of competition and negotiation. It is considered the fairest method of sale, for both buyers and sellers.

Here we have listed what Raine & Horne Bondi Beach can do for sellers, the advantages of selling at Auction.

What Raine & Horne Bondi Beach's Auction Services and Marketing can do for you?

  

Ensure 3 Auction essentials – excitement, confidence and competition

Successful Auctions rely on these three things. Raine & Horne Bondi Beach auctions are meticulously planned to ensure yours will have them too. We will carefully devise a specially tailored marketing strategy to ensure your property draws the attention of a strong group of qualified buyers.

Your sale on your terms

You set the day and time of sale, reserve price and terms and conditions and settlement period. You and your agent will arrange inspections at agreed times, allowing you to prepare your asset in advance.

Boost buyer confidence

One of the most important auction day functions is providing information to ensure confident and enthusiastic bidding. If the auction is on site, Raine & Horne Bondi Beach gives buyers one last opportunity to have a look around and ask questions.  

 

Advantages of Selling By Auction

 

 

• Best price – competitive bidding may achieve a sale price in excess of the reserve
• Highest chance of a successful sale – research shows that over 87% homes sell within the agency period.
• Immediate exchange of contracts – when a buyer purchases at auction, the contract is signed unconditionally and 10% deposit is payable
• Buyers know they are in a competitive situation – there is pressure on buyers to make a good pre auction offer rather than miss out on the day.
• Intensive promotional campaign – it is designed to highlight the property to attract the maximum number of buyers
• Less disruption to family – with a shorter selling period, auctions can be more convenient.
• Reserve price – the property cannot be sold below the reserve price without the approval of the vendor
• No cooling off period – the contract cannot be rescinded by the purchaser.
• Specified auction date – creates a sense of urgency

 

Private Treaty

This method of sale involves the vendor setting the price. It is also known as a private sale.

Prior to setting the price, we will obtain:

• Specific and detailed information about the features of your property.
• Computerised market evaluation of comparable properties.

In cooperation with you, we then set the price and immediately start working to sell your property.

 

 

Advantages for sellers:

• The vendor can dictate the pace of the sale.
• Offers can be considered at your leisure.
• Some vendors consider private treaty less stressful than auction.
• Marketing costs can be lower.
• Prospective buyers not prepared to bid at auction might show more interest.
