We aim to make the selling of your property a rewarding, hassle free experience. Everything we do during the sale process is aimed at achieving the maximum market price for your property. Below is some information you may find helpful.

Presentation

To have your property presented well doesn’t have to be expensive or time consuming. With a little effort and some TLC you can have your valuable asset looking its best. Below are some easy tips on presentation.

Make sure the street in front of your property and the entrance are neat and tidy. Clean the windows, fans, curtains and floors. Fix any obvious problems, mulch the gardens and get the grass nice and green. Having the grass freshly mowed prior to an open house also looks great. Unclutter your home, every one loves space and storage. Fresh flowers and soft music only assist in creating an inviting mood.

Marketing

When selling anything it is important to let the right people know it is for sale. It is very hard to sell a secret.

To achieve the best result you must expose your property to as many potential buyers as possible. Before you sell , it is important to know that you've given the entire buyer market a chance to respond.

We work with sellers to employ a marketing programme that suits the type of property they own and their budget. Our goal is to achieve the maximum sale price for your property, the greater the competition for your property, the better the result!

Among the many important elements of an effective marketing campaign that may be considered are:

• Sign boards with full colour photos and script
• Internet advertising
• Internal floor plans
• Office window display
• Letter box drops
• Newspaper property guide advertising
• Full colour promotional brochures.

Timing

There are always buyers in the market. With the correct marketing buyers can be found all year round.

Selling methods

The three most popular selling methods are:

* Selling with an asking price (Private Treaty),
* Auction
* Price by Negotiation.

Each has its own advantages and it is advisable to discuss the benefits of each method prior to putting the home on the market. Of course you also need to consider your own personal circumstances.

We are experienced in all methods of selling and have been able to achieve very rewarding sale prices for our vendors. We will make every to effort to ensure your home achieves its maximum sale price.

Beware of high valuations and low commission

Beware of the agent who immediately offers low commission- is he or she just buying your business? When looking at the commission payable for the sale of your property you must analyse the service you are getting in return. Don’t settle for anything less than the best estate agent- you'll reap the rewards at sale time.

An agent who appraises your property at an overly high price may simply be trying to win the listing. Have they got the experience to price your property correctly?
It may be the price you want to hear, but does it represent fair market value. Our goal is to get your property sold at the very best price the market will pay.

At Actons we can provide you with up-to-date comparative sales data relevant to your area and property type. We can also show you previous sales by our firm.
