Selling your property

Whether it’s the family home you grew up in or the first house you bought out of your savings, we all outgrow the homes we have lived in and in the process, we have to get involved in the stressful process of selling a home. Whatever be your reasons for selling, you can always count on these 3 important steps to ensure that you have a relatively methodical time when you are selling your property.

  • To get an agent or not to

    While selling through a real-estate agent has its own pros and cons, it’s a much lesser hassle than selling your property privately. However, when you sell privately, you have the liberty to meet the buyers personally and select a family or group who would take care of your home in the future. This decision is purely yours to make. If you do choose to take the assistance of a real estate agent while selling your property, we suggest that you also consult a conveyancing lawyer to ensure that the legalities of the process are taken care of.

  • The best agent of them all

    Once you have made the decision to go with a real estate agent, you must research on your end to find the one who is best in your locality. A good real estate agent does not only ensure that they portray your property in the best light possible, they will also ensure that you get the best offer possible. Once you have briefed them on your expectations, you must work with your conveyancing solicitor to get the ‘Agreement for Sale and Purchase’ prepared to commence the process of selling your property.

  • Open your house up

    The new residents of your old house definitely want to see whether the property they are investing in is worth the price they are paying. Therefore, it is essential that you hold a few open houses. While you are not required to be present at these showcases in case you are selling through an agent, in case of a private sale, your presence might be mandatory. Showcase your home in the best way possible, ensuring that the potential buyers can envision their own homes there!
