Don’t risk losing thousands on these common costly mistakes when selling your home!
How to make sure you don’t sell your home undervalue!
5 of the most common reasons sellers lose money
when they sell their homes...
Choosing the right estate agent
Choosing the right estate agent for you. Thousands of property owners undersell their homes everyday because they haven’t been helped to get the best price but when you have limited advice and resources it may appear all agents are the same but you couldn’t be further from the truth. There is so much more to selling a home than some pictures and a website.
Is there a plan?
There is no strategy. There are many buyers looking for a bargain, some who are happy to pay a fair price but only one or two who will pay the ‘emotional price’ for a house and they need seeking out and to do this there must be a plan to find them, simple luck wont work.
Present it like you love it!
Poor or badly presented marketing. You may not know how important property photos and details are but put imagine the amount of information we are bombarded with on a daily basis? You have a few seconds to make an impact on buyers and your home must be presented to the best level it can be and advertised as far as possible in a structured way, making sure it has been seen by as many people as possible and noticed.
Why selling your home in 24 hours can be a terrible idea!
When you accept the first offer on your home you may feel elated that is has sold so quickly, you may think that the best you would get is an offer somewhere near the asking price but when you’ve only been on the market for a couple of days or weeks this usually means there was more to come.
Consider the facts. Online upfront fee or high volume estate agents that have huge numbers of properties for sale and low fees are not designed to achieve the best price for sellers, this is why when the first offer is received it is not uncommon to hear of seller being encouraged to accept it so the agent can move on and make yours another notch on their sold board tally.
True value lies in the heart of the best buyer...
Beware of choosing an unreliable buyer. With a national average fall through rate over 40% you also need to consider just how reliable a buyer is and how well they have been checked out? Are they in a position to buy and were they happy to provide evidence?
If you have sold to the first buyer and the purchase falls through its back to the beginning with all the effort of your initial interest lost. Many property owners have to sell for less as it appears your house has been up for sale for longer than it has. Love Property now has a fall through rate of less than 5% making sure when you get a buyer it stays sold, saving you from this trauma.
Don’t forget...
The true value for a home lies in the worth of what a buyer is prepared to pay for it and the job of
Love Property is to find you that buyer.
We make sure you have plenty of opportunity to weigh up your options rather being forced into picking option A without even knowing what B, C and D are. Through the Love Property Set to Sell Plan we make sure you know all your options and get the best price from the best buyer.
