How can we achieve the best price in the present market place?
by Keith Trigg of Pittis Estate Agents
ALMOST daily there are new stories, which cast a depressing light over property and mortgages. Despite all this, it is still possible to move home in the present market. To ensure you are one of the successful
movers, here are a few of my own tips! VALUE FOR MONEY You can typically expect to pay a commission of
between 1.75% and 2.5%. Don’t make the simple mistake of choosing the cheapest agent! If an agent easily reduces their own fees, how effective will they be when negotiating your price with the buyer? GET THE PRICE RIGHT Your property will attract most interest during the first three to four weeks of marketing so getting the price right initially will get you off to the best start.
Beware! Some agents will overvalue your property to try to secure your instruction and subsequently put pressure on you to reduce the price when the property fails to sell. BE REALISTIC After many years of rising prices it may seem daunting to consider marketing your home at a lower price. However, if you are moving up the property ladder you will benefit with a reduced price on your next property and in most cases you should come off better. PRESENTATION Tey say presentation is everything! You need to inspire buyers to view your home so make sure your agent produce a high quality brochure, which must include numerous high quality photos. Your home must stand out from the crowd!
