Here are some points to consider when deciding whether to find an estate agent in mapperley to help you market and sell or let your property.
The Right Price
Of course, everyone wants to sell their mapperley property for the biggest price possible, but this is not always the best way to achieve a quick sale. A good mapperley estate agent will be able to guide you towards a price that strikes the right balance between being attractive to both you and any potential mapperley purchasers.
Quality Marketing
A good mapperley 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 mapperley 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 mapperley 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 mapperley 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 mapperley 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.
Time
Although you may be confident that you're more than capable of managing the sale of your own property, the truth of the matter is that many of us have precious little spare time. mapperley applicants will not appreciate having to arrange viewings around your schedule. In all likelihood you will achieve a faster sale if you use a good mapperley estate agent.
Selling Tips
Pet Problems
If you own pets, then consider re-housing them while your try to sell your home. At the very least, keep them out of sight during viewings, and make sure that you have removed as much trace of them as possible. Cat litter trays, bowls of pet food, pet hairs, stains on carpets and scratched up walls or furniture can be off-putting. There is also the issue of allergies to consider. Many people are allergic to pet hairs and dust. A home that sets off a reaction may put off otherwise keen mapperley viewers. Consider calling in a local mapperley cleaning specialist to revive carpets.
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 mapperley specialist adviser or mapperley estate agent. A good mapperley estate agent may be able to point you in the right direction.
Clean Out The Loft
Some buyers will ask to look in your loft. If it it is full of junk that looks like it may be left there then this can be off-putting. Also, a nice empty loft will look like it may have conversion potential.
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 mapperley property buyers.
