Here are some points to consider when deciding whether to find an estate agent in shinfield to help you market and sell or let your property.
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. shinfield 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 shinfield estate agent.
Presentation
A good estate agent in shinfield will be able to advise you on how to best present your property to potential purchasers.
Good Local Knowledge
An estate agent or letting agent in shinfield is very likely to have good local knowledge, and thus be an effective marketer of your property.
Quality Marketing
A good shinfield 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 shinfield 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 shinfield 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
Be Energy Efficient
If you're selling your home then shinfield buyers will be looking for energy efficient properties, as these will be cheaper to run, and easier to sell.
A good shinfield estate agent will be able to advise you and point you in the right direction for making your home more energy efficient.
An energy assessor will come and assess your property for a current and potential Energy Efficiency Rating and a current and potential Environmental (CO2) Impact Rating. This will be included in your HIP pack, which must be completed before you market your property.
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 shinfield property buyers.
Molehills And Ants Nests
If your garden suffers from Mole Hills or ants nests, then take appropriate action to eliminate these pests (humanely, of course). These garden pests could be off-putting to shinfield property buyers.
Cats And Dogs in your garden.
If you're selling property in shinfield 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.
