Alert the agent concerned and the police immediately if you find something is missing. With security in mind, many sellers and agents are opting to add a virtual tour to their online listings. This feature allows potential buyers to “walk around” a home before they decide that they need to view it in person – generally ensuring that only serious buyers enter a property that is for sale.
FAMILY HOME Grab the opportunity to invest in this well planned family home situated in one of the most sought after areas at a bargain price. Very neat spacious and well maintained. Great lapa for entertaining. Ref: 91344180042

>> Lock away all jewellery and other valuables >> Sellers and agents are opting to add a virtual tour to their online listings
how houses have been a part of life for estate agents for years and are regarded by most as an effective selling tool. Spending a Sunday afternoon showing people around a neat, well presented home is the ideal way to showcase what’s on offer in order to generate interest in the property and serious buyers generally enjoy the freedom of viewing a property in their own time and as such will visit several show homes until they find exactly what they want. All in all, it looks like a winwin situation, but there are concerns. Security issues are at the forefront of most South Africans’ minds and the fact that your home could be closely inspected during a show day is something worth considering. While there are thousands of innocent buyers who are genuinely looking for a new home, there are also those who visit show houses for all the wrong reasons. Agents tend to be very aware of this and it is rare to find a female agent willing to show a house on her own. Savvy agents are also careful as to how many prospective buyers they allow into a home at any given time. The days in which prospective buyers could arrive in their hordes and wander around a property at whim are long gone. Most agents will only allow one couple at a time to view a property and will accompany them during the process. Of course it’s not only on show days that sellers are vulnerable – the mere fact that agents have to show people around a home in order to get it sold can make the property a target for criminals. A recent reported case in Gauteng highlighted the dangers of allowing strangers into seller’s homes. A man targeted show houses and contacted individual agents to arrange private viewings. The smooth operator managed to steal jewellery to the value of R25 000 from one home and money and an expensive watch from another. While it may be easy to point fingers at estate agents it pays to remember that crooks are notoriously sly and there will always be those who manage to slip through the cracks. With that in mind, you should take extra precautions when your home is on the market. Lock all jewellery and other valuables away. Don’t assume that because something is hidden in a drawer that it will be safe. Do not leave cash lying around. Ask the agent if and how buyers are vetted. Ask the agent to supply contact numbers for everyone viewing the property and insist that the agent remain with the buyers at all times while they are viewing the home.
Agency: Seeff. What is interesting about your work? >> Your dreams, your reality, my business. Buy or rent? >> We are currently in a buyers’ market phase. Do you think the rise in the interest rate will affect house prices? >> The selling price is always determined by a willing buyer and a willing seller.
