Selling your home? Is the real estate agent using the right strategy?
When a vendor or prospective seller considers selling their home or investment property, the Agent will often only discuss price as the main consideration. There are so many other issues and points of attraction that "bad" agents will fail to consider and it is at this initial stage that vendors should get proper advice on strategy to make sure they are heading in the right direction before the property hits the market.

What is your house worth in today's market?
With an ever changing real estate landscape, from changes to interest rates, changes in unemployment rates and generally low confidence in the market, sellers should do their research before they put their property on the market.
For home owners that are looking to sell, part of the research is to find out what similar properties to theirs has sold for in the real estate market. We encourage our clients to request a postcode report which sets out recent sales in their chosen area. As a service to our clients we provide a FREE Postcode Report, normally valued at $99.00, to help with that research.

Negative Equity?
What is negative equity? Negative equity is a term that often refers to a situation in which a homeowner finds themselves whereby the amount of debt on the property is MORE than the value of the property.
With a falling market, there are always property owners that are in negative equity. In America, at the height of the Global Finance Crisis there were millions of people who owed more on their property than the property was worth.
For example, the mortgage on the property is $275,000 and the market value of the property is $250,000. This would result in the homeowner being $25,000 in negative equity.

Marketing Costs when you sell?
Deciding to sell your property will pose many issues even before the sign goes up.
Well before the property hits the market, there are many agreements and documents that need to be prepared and signed even before the photos are uploaded on the internet. One really important document is the Agency Agreement you sign with the Agent to sell the property. The Agency Agreement sets out all the relevant details which is the effective document that gives the Agent the Authority to list and market your property for sale.
