GETTING TO KNOW MADDISON DUNCAN. Maddi’s passion for Real Estate started at a young age, in 2016 she then made the decision to make her dream a reality within the Real Estate industry. She began her career in an administrative role where she gained a wealth of knowledge about processes, what to do and what not to do when it comes to giving good service to buyers and sellers, and experience with contract processing.

Maddi quickly realised that her skill set was such that she could transition into a sales role and her desire to help people, because real estate is about people – not about houses, is so strong.

Maddi began her sales career and found success quickly in to the role of a Property Sales Consultant, implementing and following all of the training she was provided to become an outstanding performer. The most important thing of all is that her clients have incredible things to say about her communication, professionalism, and ability to negotiate high prices for her sellers. Her kindness and understanding with buyers are also at a high level, keeping in contact and giving them opportunities to buy their perfect properties.

Maddi is an incredibly hard worker and is willing to do whatever it takes to help her sellers and buyers move onto the next chapter of their lives. For a personal and intricate experience with buying or selling a home Maddi is your go to professional!

H A PP Y S E LLE R F ROM UPPE R BURNIE We loved Maddi’s persona from the outset. She was everything we wanted as a representative for our property.

Throughout the journey she stayed in close contact, communicated effectively, was prompt in following up, and ensured she was acting in our best interest, including when this evolved in time. Our only regret would be the estimate provided was probably idealistic but we are still happy with the results. Couldn’t recommend her more - Claire & Brendan H A PP Y S E LLE R F ROM BROOK LY N From the moment I met Maddi, I knew I had met with a real estate agent who was ready to work hard to achieve the result she saw possible. Maddi took the time to understand the circumstances surrounding the sale of the property and how important it was. She was confident of a successful outcome and didn't stop until it had been reached. She worked hard, constantly provided updates, and kept everything on the move. If you require a real estate agent, contact Maddi, she won't let you down.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN AN AGENT. Elders Real Estate know just how important selling your home is, and we’re determined to make the process as simple and rewarding as we can. With over 180 years’ experience in real estate Australia-wide—rest assured, we know exactly how it’s done.

TRUST

Your real estate agent will be guiding you through some big decisions, so building a relationship based on trust is important. A good real estate agent is totally transparent and always listens to your ideas and concerns. When using an Elders Real Estate specialist, we’ll ensure you remain in complete control every step of the way.

COMMUNIC ATION

Good communication with all parties is essential when selling your home, and Elders Real Estate specialists are trained for this. We understand today’s real estate is a 24/7 service and communicating with you on a regular basis is our priority. In the early stages of designing your selling plan, we’ll work out the best times and modes of communicating with you to suit your needs and your schedule.

E XPERIENCE

Most Australians only sell a home once or twice in a lifetime.

With all the rules, regulations, fees and charges that are involved, it’s hard to know where to begin and what’s next.

Elders Real Estate specialists are fully qualified, experienced agents who’ll guide you through the process as simply and easily as possible. We do all the hard work for you, and we’ll absolutely never mislead or pressure you into making decisions you don’t fully understand or aren’t comfortable with.

5

LOC AL K NOWLEDGE

Elders Real Estate specialists live and work in the communities they cover, so whatever’s going on or whatever buyers are expecting, we already know about it. We always study comparable homes sold, or currently listed, in your local area. And by closely networking with our 400 real estate offices across Australia, we stay on top of identifying potential buyers and monitoring interest rates, market confidence and the latest national and international trends.

PA SSION

Passion is the difference between doing a job and doing a job well. At Elders, our agents aren’t selected on skill and expertise alone. We choose our real estate specialist for their enthusiasm and belief in the job, and we do this because our experience shows passion creates successful sales time and time again.

REPUTATION

Elders is Australia’s most established real estate brand.

We’ve worked hard to make sure we continue building on our unmatched reputation as a trusted, hardworking, honest brand, loyal to Australians for the past 175 years. And despite our competition, we continue to be the best in real estate—we have the sales to prove it.

When choosing a real estate agent, the most important things to look for are trust, communication, experience, local knowledge, passion and reputation.

ELDERS REAL ESTATE KNOWS THIS.

METHOD OF SALE. Maddi will take you through the options and help you decide the best method for selling your home, based on your property’s style, location, current market conditions and how quickly you want to sell.

Private Treaty is the most common way to sell a home. The property is advertised “for sale”, generally with a set asking price. Buyers must make “blind” offers - meaning they won’t know how much any other buyers may be offering. Sellers who don’t want the pressure of an auction can see the fact that there is no set time frame for the sale as a benefit.

In reality though, this can also be a negative factor as the lack of a set time frame generally results in a lack of any sense of urgency for buyers.

The tender / expression of interest process requires prospective buyers to submit the highest they’re willing to pay for your home (an offer), by a set date, with a price guideline given.

Public Auction is often used when a property has unique factors that could draw considerable public interest, or when you want to sell your home quickly. There are three opportunities to sell using this approach - before the auction, at auction, or immediately afterwards.

PRIVATE TRE AT Y

• You agree on an asking price for your home.

• Your home is then advertised for a period of time, or until it’s sold.

• Prospective buyers will submit an offer by way of Offer & Acceptance, which will be negotiated by your agent, on your behalf.

E XPRESSION OF INTEREST

Offers are kept confidential. You’re able to accept or reject offers at your will, or our Elders Real Estate specialist can negotiate further. Sale by tender/expression of interest is a more relaxed and controlled way of selling your home and is growing in popularity.

PUBLIC AUC TION

The auction process involves: • You choose an auction date, time and place.

• You set a reserve price with your agent (the minimum you’re willing to sell it for).

• Conduct a short, intensive marketing campaign to gain maximum exposure and interest.

• Auction takes place and the agent encourages competitive bidding.

• The Offer & Acceptance (sales contract) is signed, the property is then Under Offer until all conditions (if any) listed on the contract are fulfilled.

• If you don’t reach the reserve price on auction day, you can either decide to pass it in (not sell) or negotiate with the highest bidder.

• Sale conditions are to be met by the due dates, the property is then Sold and awaits settlement.

• You can achieve sales in excess of your reserve price • Once a bid has been accepted, a cash unconditional contract is signed there and then.

• 10% deposit is made on the day with no cooling off period.

• Settlement date agreed.

• Property is under contract.

Selling your home by public auction encourages prospective buyers to act quickly and emotionally and can often gain extraordinary sales prices, reflecting the true market value of your home.

VALUING & PRESENTING YOUR PROPERTY. GE T TING THE RIGHT PRICE

M ARKE TING YOUR PROPERT Y

Setting the sales price for your home is one of the hardest and most emotional decisions you’ll have to make. This is where our expertise can really help.

The first 21-days are when you’ll get the most interest in your home. Your Elders Real Estate specialist will design a well executed marketing plan to gain maximum exposure for your home during this period, and beyond if necessary.

We assist you in setting a realistic asking price after researching and considering comparative sales prices and competing properties in your area, potential buyers, current market demand and your home’s special features. Once potential buyers have been identified and market trends have been evaluated, we’ll design a marketing campaign specifically for your property.

We’ll formulate a multi-media campaign to capture the attention of your home’s specific target market to find that perfect buyer. This includes signage, print adverts and editorial in local and national newspapers, direct mail, window displays, internet profiles and our extensive email database.

Your home will automatically be listed on our website at eldersrealestate.com.au which is visited on average by over 250,000 unique visitors a month delivering over 1.1 million page views a month. This will instantly feed onto our national Twitter account which in turn will populate onto the national Facebook page, marketing your property to a wider audience. Should you decide to add video tours to your property we can easily upload these to a national audience.

Your property will be loaded onto our innovative MyDesktop real estate system, which allows us to list your property on all the major real estate websites in Australia. These include thehomepage.com.au, rent.com.au, domain.com.au, realestate.com.au, realestateview.com.au and realtyonline. com.au, and keeps your property consistently at the top of search engine returns.

The system also allows our agents to produce online brochures and floor plans to use on websites, along with email campaigns where we can monitor interest in your property and feedback results instantly.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS COUNT. Now you’ve made all the big decisions, it’s time to get your home in order to increase interest and entice potential buyers. Here are a few tips to get you started:

INDOORS • De-cluttering is the most important thing to do inside your home.

• Make sure all your bench/table surfaces are clear and remove unnecessary items from your floors to create the impression of spaciousness.

• Open all curtains and blinds to let in the natural light and show off garden views.

• In the eyes of the buyer, the two rooms of most interest are the kitchen and bathroom. Make sure they’re sparkling clean and at their best.

OUTDOORS • Tidy your front and backyard by removing any toys, rubbish, leaves, weeds andany evidence of pets.

• Wash your windows and remove cobwebs under verandas, carports and around windows.

• Check all hidden areas where a buyer might look. Things like flaking paint on eaves, posts and window sils might need to be touched-up. Check if your front door needs painting or cleaning.

• Make sure your boundary fences and gates are in good condition. A quick repaint or repair job could make the world of difference.
