Why use an Estate Agent in gullane?
There is a recent trend towards trying to sell your own property. Many new websites now offer services to assist you with this, but at AgentQuote.co.uk, we believe that there would be great value to you in finding a good estate agent in gullane to market and sell your property.
Here are some points to consider when deciding whether to find an estate agent in gullane to help you market and sell or let your property.
Accompanied Viewings
Most estate agents in gullane 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 gullane 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 gullane 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 gullane 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 gullane 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.
Good Advice
A gullane estate agent will be able to answer any questions you may have about the buying or selling process.
Good Local Knowledge
An estate agent or letting agent in gullane is very likely to have good local knowledge, and thus be an effective marketer of your property.
Selling Tips
Neutralise Nasty Odours
If you're trying to sell your gullane property, then perhaps it's time to ask a good friend the question "does my house smell". If you live with unpleasant odours, then you may no longer notice them. Get the blunt opinion of a friend. If there's a problem, don't worry... there are plenty of products on the market to remove nasty smells, rather than cover them up.
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 gullane property buyers.
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 gullane specialist adviser or gullane estate agent. A good gullane estate agent may be able to point you in the right direction.
Tidy The Garden
Perhaps you are not much of a gardener, your lawn is un-cut and the whole place is looking rather messy! Well it’s time to get busy. A badly presented garden may well be off-putting to gullane buyers. Cut the lawn, trim the edges and remove as much junk and clutters as you can. A few plastic pots filled with colourful flowers could really change the appeal of your property.
