Here are some points to consider when deciding whether to find an estate agent in anerley to help you market and sell or let your property.
Good Advice
A anerley estate agent will be able to answer any queries you may have about the buying or selling process.
In The Know
A good anerley estate agent will already have a shortlist of potential buyers (applicants) on their books, who may immediately want to view your property. This could result in a quick sale.
Accompanied Viewings
Most estate agents in anerley will offer to undertake accompanied viewings on your behalf. They will show off your property to viewers, drawing attention to all of the best features. Most viewers are more likely to tell an estate agent, than the owner, what they don’t like about a property. This means that if you use a anerley estate agent, you are likely to get honest feedback on what aspects of your property need dressing up to achieve a quick sale, at the best price.
Quality Marketing
A good anerley estate agent will be an expert at marketing your property. They will know how to advertise your property in all the right places. Ideally your anerley property needs as much exposure as possible, to maximise interest from potential buyers. Usually an agent will advertise your property on property portals, such as Rightmove, and in your local or anerley property post. Other forms of marketing include window cards, handouts, mail-shots and open-house days. Remember, the frequency and quality of the content of the advertising is just as important as where it appears.
Selling Tips
Clean your windows
If your windows or mirrors are looking grubby, consider mixing some white spirit vinegar with a little water and washing up liquid, popping the mixture in a spray-bottle and giving your windows and mirrors a clean. (use this cleaning tip at your own peril!). The washing liquid will act as a de-greaser and the vinegar will act as an anti-foamer / streaker. Grubby windows or mirrors will create a bad impression on anerley property buyers.
Open Some Windows
Consider opening some windows for a couple of hours before a viewing. If it's a hot stuffy day, the leave them open, if it's cold then close them. In either case, this should help to give the property a nice fresh feeling when sellers come to view.
Renew Scruffy Flooring
Linoleum flooring in bathrooms and kitchens can often look very unkempt after years of use. It is inexpensive to replace. Consider renewing it if it looks worse for wear.
Sort out your lighting.
A bad lighting scheme can very much undersell your anerley property. Consider sorting your lighting out. Consult a specialist if you need to. Dark rooms can look small and poky. Rooms that are too bright can look harsh and unwelcoming. Very bright light will show up all marks, dirt, stains and dust.
