Selling Tips

Selling a property can be a daunting experience but if you prepare you can minimise stress and maximise your return. We see our job being to guide you through the process right from the beginning to the end. Here are 10 tips that if followed will put you on the right track!

 

1: Don't sign anything

Don't sign anything until you have sought independent advice from a good solicitor or conveyancer. We have all heard terrible stories about real estate, unfortunately most of them stem from people being ill informed, rushed or misled. We often see people sign agreements with agents that not only lock them in for a long time, they can leave the sellers liable for thousands of dollars for advertising etc....even if the agent doesn't sell their house??!! Don't let this happen to you.

2: Find and appoint an excellent conveyancer/solicitor to represent you.

Find and appoint an excellent conveyancer/solicitor to represent you. Many people just choose their family lawyer who they haven't used or heard from in years. Be careful with this as many just do property work as a side job and it's not their priority. You want a good (preferably local) legal advisor that is readily available, does a lot of property conveyancing, and one that you like! We will happily recommend the best conveyancers and solicitors in the area to you without charge or obligation.

3: Avoid up-front costs.

Avoid up-front costs. If an agent wants you to put money down up-front for advertising before selling your property, ask why? There are few professions where the client has to carry all of the risk. A good agent will share the risk, some will even carry all of the risk!

4: Research is key.

Research is key. Talk is cheap! When choosing an agent ask for contact details for current and past clients so you can perform reference checks. If an agent will happily provide you with contact details for current and past clients that is a very good indication. Also, get to know the market by looking at recent sales – there is so much information available these days that can empower you when making critical decisions, so why not use it!

5: De-clutter.

De-clutter. This one often intimidates people but it shouldn't. Ask close friends, seek agents' opinions, take some photos of your living areas and try to look at them as a buyer etc – this will give you a feel for what needs to come out. Sometimes hiring a stylist or some furniture is money well spent. We can give you our thoughts without cost or obligation – we have helped people by making small changes to the property's presentation and saved thousands.

6: Remove objections.

Remove objections. Buyers are often nervous and are looking for the best deal they can get. As a seller you need to remove potential concerns, objections and points that may give them something negative to focus on or even lose you a buyer. Obtaining current documents, surveys, certificates will mean thousands to you in your sale.

7: Make your home sparkle.

Make your home sparkle. The old saying that cleanliness is close to godliness in real estate is so true! Sparkling clean windows, mowed lawns, swept paths all make your home feel loved and look great. If you need good local contacts to help you we will happily provide them without cost or obligation.

8: Timing is everything.

Timing is everything. Choosing the right time to sell can mean a huge difference to your price. Every property is different and the property market can change week to week. Old thinking in real estate of 'only sell in Spring or Summer' is flawed – in fact, the last two market peaks in Sydney have been in Winter! The best time to sell is when you are ready and when you have limited competition in the market place.

9: Make sure you call us.

Make sure you call us. Before appointing an agent call us. Our clients often say 'we are glad we called you' or 'we wish we called you first.' We'll give you what we believe is the best and most honest advice, with no pressure attached.

10: Stay calm

Stay calm – YOU are in control. Sign documents when you are ready, make decisions when you have thought it all through. It's your property and regardless of everything you are the boss.

Deserving of Agency accolades

Selling in the ‘time of Covid19’ presented a challenge to Alex Myers who was, at all times, professional, supportive and extremely committed to achieving the best result for my property. With David, Bindi and, especially Alex, I felt I was in the hands of an ethical and experienced team. Thank you all for making the selling process as stress free as possible.

Apartment in North Sydney sold by Alex Myers of David Murphy Real Estate

Alex Myers has been easily one of the very BEST agents I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with!

My apartment went onto the market just days before COVID struck. Alex had worked so hard on this sale, opening the apartment whenever a prospective buyer was interested. He has kept me completely informed during the process and I feel we have built a strong working relationship. Without a doubt I would recommend Alex strongly to prospective buyers.

A Great Agent

This is not the first time our family has used David, but it was my first experience with David and everything that I had heard about him was absolutley true. David is straight forward, realistic and hard working agent who is genuine character and strives to achieve the best result. He works for the vendor which is often rare in the real estate game once an agency agreement is signed. David persisted and work our property over to the very end and in very trying Covid times. Hen never stopped or gave up, or lost interest. They say bad times show the true character of a person and David demonstrated he is a true professional at his game is one of the very few real estate people I would be happy to say I like and could trust.

Great Experience, Great Result

We had a great experience selling our place with David and Bindi - I really think they know the ins and outs of the Mosman market better than any other agency. Communication was flowing and was candid and transparent throughout the campaign. Their up front advice and advice as we got to the pointy end was spot on and led to a great result for us.
