Quality Marketing
A good edinburgh 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 edinburgh property needs as much exposure as possible, to maximise interest from potential buyers. Normally an agent will advertise your property on property portals, such as Rightmove, and in your local or edinburgh 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.

Accompanied Viewings
Most estate agents in edinburgh 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 edinburgh 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.

Good Advice
A edinburgh estate agent will be able to answer any queries you may have about the buying or selling process.

Spend Up To 1%
It is often advised that a seller should consider spending up to 1% of the sale value of the property on re-decoration, D.I.Y. and / or touching-up to achieve the best price. You should discuss this with a local edinburgh specialist adviser or edinburgh estate agent. A good edinburgh estate agent may be able to point you in the right direction.

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.

Cats And Dogs in your garden.
If you're selling property in edinburgh then you may want to check your garden for mess left behind by either your pets or neighbour's pets. If your garden looks like it's being used as a toilet, then this can make a very bad impression. Clean up after your own pets, and consider installing anti dog / cat measures to scare away / deter neighbour's pets. Please ensure these devices are humane.

Tidy Up
Make sure that rooms are clean and tidy, especially bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen.
