Advice on selling your home...

First impressions count!

There is little point having the inside of your property perfect if the outside doesn’t reflect this, people will just drive past. This need not be an expensive process, giving your front door a fresh lick of paint or weeding and tidying the front garden is sometimes all that is needed.

Keep it clean and fresh It may seem obvious but ensure everywhere is clean and tidy, this is especially apt for bathrooms and kitchens. You don’t want viewers to mistake an unclean bathroom or cluttered kitchen for one that needs replacing.

Warm your home Room temperature is important in creating an inviting ambience within your home. Ensure your property is kept warm and cosy in the Autumn and Winter time - light your coal fires, log burners and turn up your heating system. In Spring and Summer time your property should be kept aired and cool.

Don’t be shy Tell your viewer what’s great about your house, for example; if you have a fantastic view from your bedroom window then show them.

If you have a great BBQ area where you get together with friends, then tell them, viewers like to picture themselves in a property, so help them along.

We will contact the viewer, ask what they liked or disliked and we will pass that information on to you. By working together, we will do what we can to speed along your sale.

Testimonials...

“We have known Mr Nick Rees since 1986, since then we have bought and sold two properties with him, Mr Rees offered sound advice and continual support through both sides of the transactions, he works tirelessly, often late into the evenings to iron out any last minute hitches and his local knowledge is invaluable when moving to a new area. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mr Nick Rees to anybody looking to buy a property in Wales.”

- Mr L.R Toms

“Do not use Fred Rees and Son if you’re looking for a standard estate agent!

There is nothing normal about the service provided by Nick and Christine Rees in their commitment to their clients.

From pre-marketing advice to help on moving matters they think of everything inbetween, they think of it all and, for us, made a challenging situation so much easier to cope with. Thank you.

We cannot recommend this company highly enough.”

“Dear Nick & Christine, Well, it certainly proved a personal challenge but of course you rose to it and got there in the end! We’re extremely grateful to you for your considerable efforts involved in our sale.

Thank you both so much!”

- Mr & Mrs Fuller
