Key points for discussion: 1. Method of Sale - Whether you select a private sale, a sale by fixed date or auction, the method needs to highlight the features and benefits of your home.

This will assure competition.

4. Fees - A percentage of the sale price is very common. Structuring a performance fee tiered on a sliding scale has also proven very successful.

2. Timing - When is traditionally a good selling period or do you take advantage of limited supply of homes and high buyer demand?

3. Buyer Strategy - With regular buyer contact we have composed an extensive database of bidding histories and buyer capacities. This knowledge is effectively utilised to sell your property for the best possible price.

5. Marketing - Selling a property is about visibility and it’s important to maximise all of the right advertising opportunities including digital and print media exposure.

6. Sale Price - Our aim is to exceed your expectations.

Should I Sell Privately or at Auction?

This depends on the level of comfort you have with the method, the trust you have in your agent and the desirability of the home.

WHAT IS AN AUCTION? An auction is a public sale in which a property is sold to the highest bidder. The auction process has been around for hundreds of years and, if handled correctly, can be one of the most successful ways to market and sell your property.

ADVANTAGES: • Unconditional offer* • Qualified buyers only • Shorter campaign *If sold three days prior, on the day, or three days after the publicly advertised auction date.

OUR THOUGHTS The auction is designed to drive competition and achieve a premium price by encouraging as many buyers as possible to bid on your property on auction day. In many cases, selling at auction can be the most effective method.

Do your research and you will discover that most record property sale prices achieved in your suburb are reached through auction. The other important factor to consider is it allows anyone to be a buyer for your home up until the auction starts. Many houses have been sold over the last year to buyers who turned up on auction day without viewing the property prior.

However, if you have a unique property or one with specific features that may appeal to only one or two buyers the best method for your property may be a SALE BY FIXED DATE.

WHAT IS A SALE BY FIXED DATE? A sale by fixed date combines the competition of an auction, with the privacy of a for sale campaign.

This type of campaign is run over a four-week period with a fixed sale date but can be sold at any time prior.

Buyers are invited to make offers throughout the campaign and should there be an acceptable offer there will be a forty-eight hour close-off period.

During this time we update the Internet, text message and email all interested parties to let them know the property will be sold unless there is a higher offer. Lower offers will not be disclosed to the vendor so qualified buyers are encouraged to submit their highest offer.

Buyers will be asked to sign a letter stating that their offer is the highest and best offer received by the vendor which further acknowledges that they may not be given a chance to resubmit another offer. At the commencement of the forty-eight hour period, the buyer with the initial offer will have one chance to increase their price should this be their wish. The difference in price can often be quite substantial.

ADVANTAGES: • Timeline driven • Increased competition • Privacy - no public auction OUR THOUGHTS This method can often achieve fantastic results as it forces buyers to pay the maximum amount they believe the property is worth. It offers owners the flexibility of a timeline-driven campaign without the public auction maintaining a level of privacy.

It allows us the most leverage while negotiating.

We inform the buyers that the home will be sold to another party by a certain time and it will take a better offer if they want to secure the home. In recent years, the biggest difference we have seen between offers was $92,000.

Important factors to consider

Costs: the complete picture The first thing that comes to mind when selling and purchasing a property is the sale price. However, it is also important to calculate the net price after all deductions are made.

Other costs which are likely to be incurred are: 1. HOME PRESENTATION: Presenting your home to impress potential buyers may incur costs such as those associated with minor repairs, hire of furniture, professional cleaning and temporary storage fees.

4. AGENT FEES: These are negotiable and vary depending upon the agent’s success and positive track record in the local area.

Agent fees should be agreed prior to signing the Sale Authority.

2. MARKETING: The advertising investment for your property should be discussed and agreed upon with your agent and be reflective of your sale strategy.

5. INSURANCE: You should maintain insurance on your property until settlement has taken place.

3. LEGAL AND CONVEYANCING COSTS: The preparation of necessary documentation such as a Section 32 Statement and a Contract of Sale should be factored into your sale gain.

6. MOVING COSTS: Consider the cost associated with moving to a new home such as professional removalists and cost of re-installing appliances etc.

7. STAMP DUTY: Keep in mind the stamp duty that may be applicable on your next purchase.

Presenting your home in the best possible light

Staging your home Before

After

Homes that are well staged do sell faster and with a greater result.

Presenting your home in the best possible light from the absolute outset of your campaign is imperative. This may take a little or a lot of your time but will reap significant rewards on sale day.

We are fortunate to have a leading external consultant who has proven time and time again that the way we live in our homes on a day-to-day basis is rarely the best way to present your home for sale.

Staging is about: • Rearranging and accessorising to neutralise, de-personalise and to capitalise on your properties’ best features in order to appeal to a larger segment of the buying public.

• Appealing to the buyer’s senses, creating an emotional attachment that makes a potential buyer want to call your house a “home.”

• Making a small investment in order to secure a larger return in a shorter amount of time.

After

Together with our client support team, our stylist will quickly determine what needs to be done and how to deliver this in a timely and cost effective manner.

This initial consultation is with our compliments.

We are able to take this worry off your hands and coordinate each presentation project on your behalf or simply provide you with guidance so that you can do so yourself.

“Nadine was a pleasure to deal with throughout the entire sale process. We spoke to a number of real estate agents before deciding to list with Nadine and Noel Jones. It became clear that Nadine had the best market knowledge, access to system, back office support, marketing, photography and staging connections.

At no stage did we feel under pressure to make decisions quickly and every conversation was easy and honest. Every phone call or message was returned quickly. Feedback from our friends who viewed the house was that Nadine was approachable and was chatting with everyone who came through. I would have no hesitation in recommending Nadine to anyone considering selling in the future.”

“Paul is a highly experienced and capable agent who knows the area very well. He is a great communicator and ensures the client is kept informed at all times. He deals with purchasers in an open and professional way. We trusted Paul and his team and they delivered for us.”

“Thank you Paul for the great result with the sale of my property.

Paul was very professional and gave sound advice, his knowledge gave me confidence to sell at short notice and there was always a solution to any problems that arose. I am very pleased and would recommend Paul Leydin to anyone buying or selling property.”

“Noel Jones Blackburn was my choice to sell my Box Hill South home recently. Nadine Roberts proved herself to be thoroughly professional, knowledgable and friendly, she made the entire process of selling my home a stress free experience. Throughout the campaign I was kept informed of all enquiries and feedback from OFI’s with the utmost professionalism, Nadine displayed outstanding market knowledge and during negotiations I never felt pressured to compromise my expectations as she was willing to carry out my instructions without exception. I felt at all times that she was working in my best interests. Nadine was warm, professional, and her vast experience in real estate was evident throughout. Nadine was supportive, highly organised and always clear in her dealings with me and potential buyers. A ‘huge’ heartfelt thank you for your dedication, professionalism and commitment.”

“We couldn’t have been happier with choosing to go with Nadine to sell our home. We found her to be very professional, communicative and relatable at all times. We felt we were in control of the process but knew we were being well supported

by Nadine and her team every step of the way. Thank you Nadine, we would happily use your services again and would be happy to recommend you to others who are in the very difficult process of choosing an agent.”

“We’ve just sold our house with Paul and his team and we were happy with the result we got. Whilst the house was passed in at auction, Paul kept us up to date with every step along the sales process, before and after the auction. I set a high reserve which was a record for the street but Paul never asked us to reduce the price. He was honest and did advise us that the house would probably not sell at auction given the price but that he would work with us post the auction to get the price that we wanted, and he did. 3 days later, our house sold for the price we were asking for. Paul listened to our needs and adjusted the campaign to suit our needs. He assisted us with helping find terrific tradespeople for the last minute jobs and was accommodating when we made some last minute changes to our campaign.”

“We were very happy with how Paul worked with us – from prior to signing, through the campaign, and right to auction day. He was personally available to talk through any issues as they arose, and kept us very much in the loop once we were on the market.

He was considerate of how selling process impacted our lives when you are still living in the house and working full time. He made sure our marketing budget was spent in areas we would give us the best return. Auction day was a success, and although there are no guarantees, it pretty much went how he said it would go. We would have no hesitation in recommending Paul.”

“We were impressed with our Noel Jones agents, Paul, Terry and Emma. They were constantly in touch, but not invasive, as a couple of agents we had initial dealings with were. Our house was looked after by them during the ‘Opens’. All lights and heating were turned off at the completion of the inspections, and a phone call from them with updates. We were impressed with Paul’s ability as an auctioneer, he talked and encouraged the prospective buyers to start bidding. He quickly reached our reserve. We have recommended the Leydin Team to friends, who have now put their property on the market through them.”
