Getting the best price for your property requires careful planning and execution. Here are our top five tips:
1. **First Impressions Matter** — Invest in professional styling and presentation. Properties that are well-presented consistently achieve higher sale prices. Fresh paint, decluttering, and professional photography make a significant difference.
2. **Price It Right** — Overpricing is the most common mistake vendors make. Properties that sit on the market too long become stigmatised. Work with your agent to price competitively based on comparable sales.
3. **Choose Your Campaign Wisely** — Whether auction or private treaty, the right campaign strategy depends on your property type, location, and the current market conditions. Your agent should guide you through this decision.
4. **Prepare Your Documentation** — Have your certificates, building reports, and strata documents ready. Prepared vendors build confidence with buyers and reduce the chance of conditions falling through.
5. **Be Flexible with Inspection Times** — The more people who see your property, the better your chances of a strong result. Accommodate as many inspection times as possible, including weekend and after-hours appointments.
