A step-by-step guide to Sell House:
Step 1: Decide on an asking price
Step 2: Give your house a tidy-up
Step 3: Start advertising your property
Step 4: Arrange viewings
It is usually the job of the Real Estate agent to organize inspections & viewings, however this is incredible simple to do. Whenever a buyer calls or emails you, simply arrange a day and time that they buyer can come & have a look at the house. Most buyers appreciate you letting them look around the house on their own, as a lot of buyers feel uncomfortable with the owner or agent standing over their shoulder (eagerly awaiting to see if they want to buy the home). It’s best to just greet them at the door, briefly explain where the bedrooms and living areas are, and let them walk around at their own pace. Most inspections only take around 10 to 15 minutes.
A lot of buyers aren’t ready to make a decision right on the spot, so when they are done looking, make sure they have a property brochure (which you can print Free from our website) with your contact details on there. Ask them to get in touch if they would like to make an offer, or you can get their contact details and give a follow up call the next day. It’s literally that simple.
Step 5: Negotiate a price
The most important part here is to decide how much you are willing to accept beforehand, and focus on not going below that figure.
Don’t worry too much if you have to turn down an offer; it’s really quite common, and so long as you do so in a friendly and cordial way then you will still be leaving the door open just in case the buyer decides to come back later with a revised offer.
Step 6: Accepting an offer
Technology, smart phones and the internet makes it easy to Sell a House
The birth of the internet has made selling EVERYTHING easier and more profitable. The internet has enabled people to connect with one another in a way like never before. Once a Real Estate agent was essential for selling, but now its as simple as creating an ad & getting your home listed on Australia’s leading websites (realestate.com.au & Domain.com.au)
Selling your home privately online is no different to selling cars, motorbikes, household items etc.. it’s just a matter of getting some nice photos, writing a brief property description & waiting for buyers to get in contact with you.
