TESTIMONIALS Motivated Agent with Great Communication!

After purchasing a property from Jamie in the past and being impressed with his service I asked him to sell an investment property for me. Jamie helped me with advice on beneficial improvements to make prior to putting my property on the market, engaging a stylist to furnish the property and obviously the sale process. He got me an exceptional price within one week of being on the market! I would highly recommend Jamie.

Awesome Agent!!!

Our property did not even get to the weekend inspection. Sold on the VIP night way above top asking price!! Jamie’s knowledge of Plympton Park real estate market is amazing. He answered any questions, kept in contact and was very confident he would find a buyer- more so than my hubby! I would highly recommend Jamie as an excellent Real Estate Agent to sell or buy.

Amazing knowledgeable agent Dear Elite Realestate Recently I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Jamie Thompson. I contacted him after seeing he had sold a property in the same street as my own in a very short period of time. Jamie is a true professional in every way. There was no pressure but simply a great strategy that was put forward with a best offer campaign. I had already decided on another agent that I had seen but after one meeting with Jamie decided to go with him. Not only did he promise a higher price and lower commission but he delivered on every promise. Our house with his guidance, amazing photo shoot and constant contact sold before open inspection for a price beyond my expectations. I have sold 16 times before and at times had a bitter experience with agents. I can highly recommend Jamie and without a doubt I would buy and sell from him again. This has been the most enjoyable and positive sale in my real estate life experience.

5 Star Agent Jamie is a 5 star Real Estate Agent. We recently engaged him to sell 2 properties and we were extremely satisfied with Jamie’s sales strategy, his attention to detail, his empathy, his knowledge and his persistence and this all came together resulting in excellent sale prices. It is our pleasure to recommend Jamie to anyone wishing to sell a property or to find a property for them. Thanks again Jamie for such a great job.

An Exceptional Experience When we were planning to place our property on the market we were located interstate and having an agent we trusted was imperative.

Jamie from day one presented a solid strategy for sale and we were instantly confident that the campaign would be a success. Through the entire process Jamie was the ultimate professional, providing consistent updates, listening to our questions/concerns, finding solutions and ultimately delivering our goal with the property. I would highly recommend the services of Jamie Thompson to anyone looking for an agent to sell their property with the following key principles in mind: - Customer First Integrity - Honesty - Reliability - Passion

METHODS OF SALE After you have chosen the agent with whom you wish to work with, the next step is to decide how you are going to sell your house. There are a number of ways to achieve this in South Australia. These are private treaty, public auction or Best Offer.

Your agent will take you through these options and help you decide the best selling method for your property based on your properties style, location, current market conditions and time frame in which you wish to sell in.

AUCTION Public Auction is often used when a property has unique features and factors that could draw considerable public interest or when you wish to sell your property quickly.

There are three opportunities to sell using this approach – before auction, at auction or after. The auction process involves choosing an auction date, time and place, setting a reserve price with your agent (the minimum you are willing to sell for) and conducting a short, intensive marketing campaign to gain maximum exposure and interest. An auction environment is usually emotionally charged and encourages strong, competitive bidding. The auction method of marketing your property has positives and negatives. The auction method only attracts the Cash Buyer which is both a positive and negative. The positive is there are no conditions to the contract, It is sold. The negative is less people can buy at Auction and may look at another property over an Auctioned property, therefore your market may be limited.

PRIVATE TREATY – FOR SALE Private Treaty used to be the most common way to sell a home. The property is advertised “For Sale” with a set asking price. Buyers must make “Blind” offers, meaning they will not know how much another buyer may be offering. Sellers who don’t want the pressure of an auction may see 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. This can result in the home being on the market for a longer period of time. This method of sale is becoming less popular for this reason, as the longer you are on the market, the lower the price a buyer will offer.

BEST OFFER BY The Best Offer By process requires prospective buyers to submit the highest price they are willing to pay for your property by a set date, with a price guideline given. Offers are kept confidential and discussed when the offers closed date is reached (or can be sold prior).

You are able to accept or reject offers at your will, or your Elite Real Estate specialist can negotiate further. Sales by Best Offer campaigns are a more relaxed and controlled way of selling your property and is growing in popularity as it is a short consise campaign and can achieve extraordinary sale prices.

PRICE Perhaps the most important question facing you at the moment is that of the price in which you should ask for your property. Setting the sales price for your home is one of the hardest and most emotional decisions you will have to make. This is where our expertise can really help.

You certainly do not want to sell it too cheaply, nor do you want to overprice it, therefore preventing it from being sold.

CONSIDER THESE POINTS The price a property brings is determined SOLELY by what the buyer or buyers are prepared to pay. This is influenced by 5 things: • Recent sales in the area of properties which are similar to yours • Properties for sale now, which are similar to yours • The condition of your property • The ways in which the property is marketed.

• And the experience of your agent.

Pricing a property too high is a sure way to prevent a sale. A property receives its maximum buyer interest in the first 2 weeks of advertising. This is when it is fresh on the market and you only have a small window of opportunity to price it right and get it sold. If you list the home close to market price, you will create a sense of urgency with buyers to make a decision when it comes to their offer.

A WORD OF WARNING You should be very careful of an agent who quotes you a fantastic price, well above what other agents are indicating. Unfortunately there are agents who will give you a grossly high figure, in order to win your business. He/she will commit you to a legal agreement and then spend the next few months pressuring you to bring your price down.

If an agent cannot justify his/her price with recent sales, we suggest you take care.

PRESENTING YOUR HOME When it comes to real estate and making your home look like the perfect show home, there are a few changes that will make a great first impression. A well-presented home will not only stand out from the crowd and encourage more inspections, it can ensure a higher sale price. On the other hand, a home that looks shabby and neglected may turn prospective buyers away even before they’ve had an inspection.

The first thing you should pay attention to when preparing your home for sale is street appeal. If it doesn’t look appealing from the outside, potential buyers may not be interested in seeing more. First impressions count, an inviting exterior will encourage inspections of the interior. Take a look at the property with fresh eyes and put yourself in the position of the potential buyer.

• Walk away from your house, then walk back in – note every negative detail such as dead or scraggly plants, scuffed paintwork, dust and faded curtains… EVERYTHING! • If it’s broken, fix it. If it’s dirty, clean it.

Leading up to the home’s front door • Begin garden improvements as soon as you decide to sell. This will give time for new plants or fertilised grass to become established.

• Mow the grass (and nature strip), weed and tidy up any garden beds, including adding new plants • Keep the pathways weeded and swept • Cut back overhanging branches • Remove all junk, rubbish and evidence of pets • Paint the gate and the letter box if needed • Store tools and bins appropriately • Wash your windows and remove cobwebs under verandahs, carports and windows • Check all hidden areas where a buyer might look, such as flaking paint on eaves, posts and window sils may need a touch-up. Check if your front door needs painting or cleaning, remove any debris from gutters.

The Exterior • Up to a point, repair and repaint any part of the home that looks run down or shabby such as the gutters, facia, doors and windows.

• Check and fix rotten timber which is part of stairs, railings, decking etc.

• Generally clean the exterior • Sparkling windows and clean frames make a big difference The Interior • Wash down the walls and ceilings. At a minimum remove any stains wherever they are. Skirting boards are often overlooked.

• You may need to get the carpets cleaned

• • • • •

Door and window frames should be cleaned and painted if required.

Fix dripping taps, lights, creaky floorboards or loose knobs and handles.

The kitchen and bathroom(s) must be spotless – remove any mildew and clean the grouting.

A new shower curtain is inexpensive and is a great idea Buyers inspect any appliances that are being sold with the house, so these should be clean and in working order.

*** Make sure your cash, jewellery, valuables and prescription medication is secure during all viewings. *** Neutralise • Get rid of loud wallpaper and controversial artwork • Defuse lingering odours by using oils/candles. Cigarette smoke, animal and food smells will remain in the buyers memory well after the inspection.

• Put flowers in rooms that need some ‘warmth’ Reduce De-cluttering your home is the most important thing to do inside your home. De-clutter excess furniture and old treasures.

Perhaps consider a garage sale before you sell. Buyers wish to see more space and less stuff.

• • • • •

Clean out wardrobes, drawers, bookcases and linen cupboards To increase a sense of spaciousness, put excess furniture into storage/cupboards and open curtains and blinds Items you do want to keep, should be neat – place visible clothes on smart hangers all facing the same way Stack books and games Give kitchen cupboards an overhaul

Small touches that work wonders • • • • • •

Clear the street in front of your house of any litter Organise all outdoor tools and coil hoses Buy a new doormat Make sure outdoor lights are working Repair any loose knobs, sticking doors and windows Open up curtains and blinds for as much natural light as possible and switch on all lights and lamps

Staging Staged homes sell quicker and for better money. So why wouldn’t you.

Other things to remember If you have a swimming pool or spa, you will need to comply with the current’ regulations. You may want to check the ‘current’ smoke alarm legislation and we will be happy to discuss this with you.

PREPARE BEFORE EVERY OPEN INSPECTION The following finishing touches will help ice the cake:

☐

Make beds and put dirty clothes in the washing basket and in the car

☐

In the bathroom, wipe down the shower, bath and sink with a towel and put away personal items.

☐

Put dishes away and tidy up

☐

Vacuum or sweep

☐

Air your house

☐

Make sure the home is warm in winter and cool in summer

☐

Put fresh towels in the bathroom

☐

Set the formal dining room table and set the outside table as if you were expecting guests

☐

Have fresh fruit in your fruit bowl

☐

Ensure dogs/cats are not in the home and it is free from any ‘pet’ smells

☐

Make the house nice and tidy BUT not to the point where it looks barren and as if no one actually lives there

☐

Hose down paths, lawn and flowerbeds well before the open

☐

Put on all lights and lamps

☐

Light any candles you have for the open

☐

Relax, go and have a coffee at a friend’s house or café and leave the rest to your Elite specialist, because three is a crowd and the potential buyer will feel like an intruder if you are there.
