Selling Your Home & Selling It Well

Selling Your Home IS a Big Deal.

Your home is usually your most expensive asset. Naturally, you want to get the most money you can with the least stress and time.

Working with an Advocate when you are selling your home means you reduce your stress, reduce the number of decisions you need to make, and don’t waste time researching, listening to, and choosing an agent to work with. Any part of the process is done with me by your side. I do the ‘hard, unfamiliar, real estate stuff’ you get the house ready and keep the presentation to a high standard whilst the sales campaign gets underway and moves along.

Selling your home also requires expert marketing and negotiation. The agent we select together will be an expert at both marketing and negotiation. They won’t make my list without these skills.

Selling your home should be about you, your home, and your best outcome. It should not be about marketing the agent or the Agency. I guide this as well.

Selling Your Home & Getting Your Home Ready

Getting your home ready to sell can be expensive. I prefer that you spend the money on your new home and ask only that you:

1 Declutter

2 Present your home

3 Work together with me to achieve your best result

What do we mean by ‘DECLUTTER’?

Decluttering does not need to be completely ruthless. It is your home, your castle. It does mean that we keep the personality but take the ‘personal’ – remove photographs, papers, jewellery, all the things that some buyers can’t see past. You will be packing all these things before you move so get ahead and pack them early, storing them somewhere safe. Anything that has emotional significance should be moved to a safe place. We need the home to appear to have good storage, good light and good visibility to all walls and windows.

What do we mean by ‘PRESENTATION’?

You want the most $$ you can get for your home when you sell it. You want buyers to walk in and be able to imagine themselves living there. When we move into a new home, unless we are buying a ‘renovators delight’ we want everything to work, we want everything to be clean and even though we know the reality of how we live is not perfect (we all have family members that leave stuff out and kick their shoes off in the middle of the doorway) we want to imagine that life in our new home WILL be perfect. By perfect – no maintenance, no mess, no clutter and always SPARKLING CLEAN.

What do we mean by ‘Work Together’?

I don’t mean physically work or become a real estate agent, I mean that you work with me to get your best outcome. That might mean a great price, it might mean a Settlement time that suits you, it will mean good communication and not shooting the messenger if you hear something that you don’t like. I have a great deal of experience in real estate and have a deep understanding of the process. Listening to each other and respecting each other.

The difference decluttering, presenting and marketing can make to your home
