FIRST IMPRESSIONSPREP YOUR PROPERTY
As the saying goes, “you never get a second chance to make a first impression”
To create a positive first impression when your buyer visits your property, there are some simple steps you can take prior to coming to market and during the campaign.
Exterior appeal
Exterior house wash: This is an inexpensive way to give a lift to any paintwork Don’t forget the fence, gate, paths and decks
Maximise sunlight: Sunlight is one of the most universal requirements when viewing a home, so make sure you are making the most of yours! Tree pruning may provide some bonus light you hadn’t noticed before
Potted colour: Careful placement of pot plants around an entrance can make a home feel more welcoming And you can take them with you when you sell!
Lawns and gardens: Before and during a campaign, keeping your lawns and gardens tidy can make the home look fresh.
Remove rubbish: General garden rubbish, piles of stuff that hasn’t made it onto the trailer yet, all of this can be unsightly and detracts from the appeal of your property
Pools and Spas: If you have a pool, clear it of leaves and keep the water clean and crisp.
Interior appeal
Spring clean: It sounds obvious, but what a difference a spring clean can make! Carpet cleaning can even make a home look and smell more inviting, particularly if pets are present Not to mention when a window sparkles, the whole home seems to take on more vitality and life.
Flowers and Warmth: Fresh flowers are always welcoming in a home, and smell wonderful too During Summer, open all the windows and doors to the sun In Winter, have the fireplace or heat pump going to make it cozy
Declutter for space: Space is another significant universal requirement for many buyers So, make the most of it by creating the feeling of space You can do this by removing clutter, storing things in boxes, and even rearranging furniture Less is more!
Paint Work: When it’s necessary, sprucing up the paint work can be an investment that pays big dividends But remember it needs to be done well, rough edges or paint on windows will send the wrong signals
Bathroom and Laundry: If mould is present, use commercially available mould remover to give these areas a fresh look They are also great products to remove calcium build-up on glass shower doors - a bit of elbow grease is involved, but definitely worth the effort!
Kitchen: The two key things that can most readily be done to improve the look of a kitchen, are updating cabinets, handles, or benchtops, depending on your budget If you have broken appliances, replacing these is high priority
WHY YOUR MARKETING STRATEGY IS KEY
DAYS ON MARKET VS SALE PRICE
The last thing you want your property listing to become, is stale. But like bread, cake, or news - a home on the market can also become stale
There is a key metric that tells us how long your home has been for sale Known as days on the market, or DOM, this metric counts up by one every day your home remains unsold
Homes typically generate the most interest when they’re new to the market After the first few weeks, the phone calls, e-mail enquires, and open home visitors tend to drop. Once all current buyers have seen your home, you’ll be limited to the smaller population of new buyers entering the market
The best way to keep your listing fresh and keep DOM low, is to have a solid marketing strategy. The strategy built by your agent is all about first impressions
Set the price/price range right from the beginning.
Have any cleaning and repairs completed before going to market
Have on-point photography and videography
Make the most of your online platforms
Listen to the market feedback provided by your agent during the campaign and pivot where necessary
THE CHOICE IS YOURS...
MARKETING METHODS
Auction
The Auction method is recommended
Auctions create open buyer competition to achieve a premium price
Perfect when you have a set time frame
Best to let the market demand achieve your desired price
If you are committed to sell.
Higher enquiries leading to the premium buyer
AUCTION EXCLUSIVE
Bring your property to Auction with us and your listing will be advertised with GAVL, a live Auction platform GAVL delivers:
A livestream of your auction day
More out of town / international buyers
More bidders via app and phone bidding to achieve a higher sale price
Peace of mind by watching online if you can't be there in person
Increase in auction attendance
Engages a wider audience
In all methods, apart from during an auction, buyers can make either conditional or unconditional offers on a sale and purchase agreement You and the buyer can then negotiate through the agent
Priced
Attracts conditional buyers who are unable to buy via the auction process.
Buyers and sellers can still enter into negotiation over the price
By Negotiation
Encourages the market to make offers within the selling range.
May be used when it is hard to estimate the price a property is likely to sell for
Prospective buyers make offers based on their perception of the market value of the property and the seller will negotiate with them on price
Deadline Sale
Property is marketed for a set period with an advertised end date
The vendor can wait until the end date has been reached, and consider all the offers together, or they can accept an offer at any point during the listing period
Buyers need to be proactive in registering their interest
Tender
Prospective buyers make written offers to the agent before a deadline
Buyers’ offers may be conditional, for example, subject to securing finance, and you can also attach conditions to the sale, for example, stating the settlement date or listing the details of the chattels that come with the property
It is sometimes referred to as a “silent auction”
