Selling a property is easy, right? You just take a few photos, put them on the web, and wait for the buyers to roll in.
Well, we wish it were that easy. Sadly, it isn’t.
Selling a home takes know-how, patience – and a fair bit of headspace. That’s where we come in. At Natural Real Estate, our team takes the pressure off, guiding you through the process with care, clarity and zero fluff.
We’ve compiled a few handy tips to help you sell your property with confidence – and get a result you’ll be stoked with.
Setting the price
When setting the price or, if auctioning, the reserve, we want an accurate and fair number that reflects the current, local market. To do this, we look at the median property price in your postcode, current market conditions and the asking price of similar homes in the area. At the time of writing this, the median house price for a 3-bedroom home in Torquay is about $1.12m.
Hiring the team
Hiring a real estate team is possibly the most important part of selling your home. Look for a team with an excellent track record in sales and who have superb knowledge of your local market. People who’re genuine and are natural communicators. Natural Real Estate is a pretty good place to start! But don’t just take our word for it, look at Google Reviews to see what past clients have to say.
Preparing the property
There are dozens of different property types. Preparing the property for sale really depends on the type of property you’ve got. Is the property likely to be bought as a primary residence? Or a holiday home? It’s usually worthwhile to carry out repairs and upgrades to make it more appealing. If it’s likely to be knocked down and redeveloped, on the other hand, this generally isn’t necessary.
Our team can take one look at your property and gain a pretty good idea of what kind of buyer it will appeal to. From here, we can discuss any potential repairs and upgrades.
Advertising and marketing
Then, our team will get to work on staging and styling the property (if required), taking professional photos, writing engaging descriptions, listing the property across all the most popular real estate websites, social media marketing and much more. This is another crucial piece of selling your home, drawing in as many potential buyers as possible.
Open inspections and database outreach
We then conduct open inspections or private viewings, talking to visitors and gauging interest in your property. Recording contact details of all attendees, this is where the team at Natural really get to work. We treat every attendee as a serious buyer.
We also hit the phones to call our extensive database of ‘hot’ buyers, letting them know about your property. Then, we negotiate, negotiate, negotiate, working hard to get you the best price for your home.
Signed, sealed, delivered!
And after the best offer is made, the contract is signed, the cooling off period comes and goes, and you’re celebrating with a bottle of bubbly.
