Here are the most frequently asked questions about selling your home

Having a grasp of the market and the opportune moment to sell is key to ensuring you enter the market at the optimal price and time. We conduct thorough research and employ seasoned real estate agents who specialize in specific markets. Our agents leverage cutting-edge technologies and platforms, utilizing top-tier data portals to conduct comprehensive comparative market analyses. This vital information, combined with our agents’ localized expertise, is essential in setting the right listing price and ultimately securing a successful sale.

Pricing a home above market value with the intention of gaining negotiation leverage often results in negative consequences. Firstly, it restricts potential buyers from even considering the property as it exceeds their budgetary limits. Additionally, there’s a significant likelihood of prolonged time on the market. When your home remains unsold longer than comparable properties in your area, it can diminish its appeal. It’s important to note that buyers’ agents are equipped with the same data, potentially leading to your home being perceived as undesirable or stigmatized.

Commissions can fluctuate significantly, with seasoned agents charging anywhere from 5% to 7.5%, while some agencies offer lower rates and there are also fixed-price options available. However, it’s important to remember that quality often correlates with cost.

In the quest to make your home irresistible to potential buyers, the tried-and-true methods reign supreme, such as the classic touch of baking bread and adorning your space with fresh flowers. Though it may seem simple, creating a pleasant and inviting aroma can significantly impact a buyer’s perception of your home. Additional tips for enhancing your home’s appeal include decluttering, refreshing the walls with a new coat of paint, and sprucing up your front garden to enhance curb appeal.

A Seller’s Disclosure/Condition Report is a document in which the seller discloses any known material defects about the property. This information is essential for buyers to know so they can make an informed decision about whether or not to purchase the home. For instance, if the house has a leaking roof, the buyer will need to factor in the cost of repairs when deciding whether or not to purchase the home.
