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 high ham to market and sell your property.
Here are some points to consider when deciding whether to find an estate agent in high ham to help you market and sell or let your property.
Expertise
If want to do something complicated then it's usually prudent to either seek expert advice, or to get an expert to do the work for you. Selling or buying property in high ham is no exception. Some property transactions can be very straightforward, but many others are not. Should something difficult crop up during the process, you will be glad of the advice and expertise of your estate agent.
Accompanied Viewings
Most estate agents in high ham 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 high ham 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.
The Right Value
A high ham-based estate agent will know the sensible marketing value of a property such as yours, located in your area of high ham.
Quality Marketing
A good high ham 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 high ham property needs as much exposure as possible, to maximise interest from potential buyers. Typically an agent will advertise your property on property portals, such as Rightmove, and in your local or high ham 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
Repair / Paint Fences
If you're putting your high ham property on the market, then you may want to consider getting your garden fences painted / repaired.
Privacy is an important issue for many house buyers, and a tidy, secure, well-maintained boundary with neighbouring properties will be a big plus, rather than "another job that will need doing".
In the same manner, ensure that hedges and trees are trimmed and tidy.
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.
Bully Your Estate Agent
Dont rely on your estate agent in the area of high ham, to put the required effort into drawing up the sales particulars and populating the Window Card details. Always scrutinise what they have prepared and don't be afraid to request that they make changes to these items if you feel that they haven't put the required effort into this work.
Get Painting
Consider some fresh paint. There’s a good reason why new builds in high ham are normally presented in magnolia and white. The light colours make rooms look larger and cleaner. White paint, in particular, makes kitchens and bathrooms look spick and span. Remember, that dark purple that you painted your bedroom in, that you totally love, may not be to high ham buyer’s liking!
