I found this very nerve racking because in our case we were also buying our next home. Here’s a simple tip. When selling try and research the last 3 months of sales in your local area so you can get a idea on pricing for your home and who the top performing agents are.
Please share your experience to help first time sellers-Thanks.
As a seller what can be done to maximise selling potential aside from the obvious clean, declutter, and make things presentable?
If you can choose the time to sell. (Many sellers can’t because they are also buyers, hence their reason to sell) Then market timing becomes very important. Selling between 9 o’clock - 12 o’clock (The rising market cycle) will ensure you do the best to get the highest price possible.
Check that your local council or insurance has not tag your location or property. Eg Insurers placing a tag on your location that it is coastal and therefore may be subject to flooding.
Consider getting a builders report on your property. But talk that over with your lawyer first as their may be some unpleasant outcomes in the report. Also be prepared to carry out repairs or you may be forced to negotiate your final price with a buyer.
Consider selling your property yourself?
