Home Seller Tip #7: Promote Your Home to Sell Quick

Often people will try and scrimp on the marketing because there is a cost involved, this is a fatal mistake. Some agents will recommend a budget marketing campaign, again this is a fatal mistake and will only hurt your sale price.
The essentials to effectively promote your property for the maximum sale price are:

Home Seller Tip #6: Select The Target Market Correctly

Selecting the correct target market is essential for selling your home. It is even more essential when you are renovating and presenting your home for sale. If you get the target market wrong, it will cost you thousands of dollars. I have witnessed it time and time again.

A prime example of correctly selecting the target market and playing to that is Ben and Libby from the Block (winners from Season 1). Right at the start they clearly identified who their target market was and what they would want. From there everything that they did around their renovation was […]

Buyer Tip #9: Which Buyer Phase Are You In?

From dealing with thousands of buyers in the process of looking for properties, I have noticed that there are certain phases that a buyer will go through. How long a buyer will stay in any of the phases is completely up to them, it really depends on how long they stay in denial for!

It’s important to be aware of these phases, especially the Danger Phase, to know where you are tracking and what you need to do to move forward.

Naive Phase

This is right at the start when a buyer is first looking […]

Buyer Tip#7: Legal Protection For Buying Property

When you are buying a home you need to know how to legally protect yourself when you make an offer. It’s important to note that an offer is a legally binding contract, you need to have good reason to back out of it you cannot simply just decide you don’t want to go through it anymore.

The Real Estate Agents Authority (or REAA) is a Government led organisation that basically watches over the industry. They publish a sale and purchase guide booklet that informs home sellers and buyers on the ‘ins and outs’ of a sale and purchase agreement. It’s quite […]

Buyer Tip #6: How to Conduct a Property Inspection

When you are racing around open homes searching for a new home, often things can become a blur. One property starts to look like the other, you forget what you are actually even looking at or looking for!

When I was on the hunt to buy my first property, I looked at 12-14 open homes Saturday and Sunday (each day) for 3 weeks. Strangely enough no agent actually called me back. But if they did, I would have had no idea which property they were even talking about!

Home Seller Tip #5: Do I need to use print marketing to sell my home?

A really common question that we get asked is: ‘Is it essential to use print marketing?’

It’s an understandable question especially in today’s online world and with the cost of print marketing ramping up the marketing spend. After all don’t all buyers just look on TradeMe?! And don’t they say that 70% of buyer enquiry comes from online sites?!

It’s really interesting topic of discussion with no real firm answer. But what I can say is that we have found that there is a direct correlation between: the size of your adverts; the amount of internet […]
