REAL ESTATE

Eight ways to improve the chances With the school holidays over and lives returning to normal, now may be as good a time as any to put your home on the market.

Here are some helpful hints on improving the chances of successfully selling your home.

1. GET YOUR ASKING PRICE RIGHT This is a tricky market and putting the right price on your property is vital. Price too high and you risk scaring everyone off; price too low and the buyer will still expect to haggle so you could end up with considerably less than you wanted.

2. CHOOSE YOUR REAL ESTATE AGENT CAREFULLY Talk to three real estate agents, before deciding on a price. Be careful not to be flattered or greedy when given unrealistic valuations, make

sure you understand how they came to their valuation and check similarsized house prices in your area to compare your price to.

Do your research before choosing an agent. It can be tempting to market a property yourself to save cash, but you should consider how big a task you face in the current market.

How will you market your house, do you have the time to show people around, are you a salesperson, can you do the negotiating?

Choose a real estate agent with a good recommendation; ask friends and family about their experiences.

Quiz them on how they will market your house - will it be advertised locally? Will your house be a “property of the week” in the local paper?

Don’t just choose the one charging the lowest commission: it is more important that the service is good and that they sell the property as close to your asking price and timescale as possible.

3. NEGOTIATE When dealing with real estate agents

confirm commission rates and lockin periods.

Most will want a percentage of the sale price. Negotiate on rates and lock-in periods to ensure you are getting the best deal from the real estate agent most suited to your needs.

4. USE YOUR REAL ESTATE AGENT WISELY Once you have chosen a real estate agent, let them do the hard work – you will be paying them for it after all.

Ask for advice on how to present the best aspects of your home, what can be done to make your property more saleable.

They may have clearer ideas on what people are looking for in your area.

5. PUT YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER While television renovation and rebuild programmes have left some buyers feeling that all properties should be immaculate, neutral shells,

of selling your home bours and the locality.

this is unrealistic for most people who have to live in their homes.

Do your research, if you do not know much about local schools then look up their online reports on the internet in case anyone asks.

However, you can help buyers to see through your lifestyle and project their own on your home.

Homeliness also rates highly as it’s very hard to sell a house that looks unloved.

7. AVOID GETTING CAUGHT IN LONG CHAINS

Lighting the fire, clearing away clutter and touching up jaded paintwork can help with this.

The longer the chain, the more likely it is that a transaction will fall through. Try to prioritise buyers who are in short chains and are firsttime purchasers and ensure they have the correct financing in place.

Good first impressions are vital, before they even enter the house, so clearing the garden, freshening up the exterior are the best places to start and enable the viewer to imagine themselves living there without having to do too much work to make it their own.

8. BE PROACTIVE Don’t sit back and let the agent get on with it. Call them and find out how they are doing and do not let them stop marketing the property. Be proactive with your solicitors. Return any information requested promptly and check in daily by phone or email.

6. BE CLEAR AND BE READY Now, more than ever, it helps to build trust with potential buyers. Be clear about your reasons for moving on, time-scales and flexibility, and be ready for questions about the property, neigh-

I’m not really sure why it’s taken me so long to extol the virtues of this pretty flower. And it has several – virtues that is.

Not only does it grow well in bedding, borders, hanging baskets, containers and cottage gardens, its long stems make it a perfect cut flower and it’s incredibly easy to grow.

There are two common varieties of viscaria which both grow to a height of around 25cm.

Angel blue – which as the name suggests has two-toned blue coloured flowers and angel rose, which has pinkish coloured flowers.

As you know, you can grab seedlings from your local supermarket or garden centre..

Otherwise jump online and get your plants delivered direct to your door.

Once you’ve got your seedlings,

Tod Palenski Awapuni Nurseries simply look for a sunny spot in your garden and plant each one around 10cm apart from the next.

If you’re planting them in a hanging basket or pot, try growing antirrhinum dwarf, lobelia, alyssum, pansies and polyanthus with them.

Within a few weeks you can expect to see your viscaria flower and then you can expect to see it flower all season long – just another virtue of this often-forgotten flower.
