Selling

Sell your home with confidence

Selling a property can be a complicated process, but our clients tell us that they feel far more at ease when they know what’s going on. We take the time to keep you informed and involved at every stage of the journey.

Why choose us?

Websites

When you list your property with link2realty, it will immediately be added to all major real estate online portals. This includes realestate.com.au, domain.com.au, reiwa.com.au as well as on a vast number of second tier websites.

Signage

Our eye catching ‘For Sale’ signs cannot be missed. They have been designed and constructed to ensure they get noticed. Our signs act as a 24 hour a day advertisement for your property, so every buyer never misses the opportunity to view your home.

Property Alerts

With a vast database of buyers, we ensure all prospects receive alerts when your property hits the market. For our VIP ‘ready to buy’ purchasers, we will advise them of sneak preview viewings of your home.

Database

We make it our business to capture every tenant enquiry. We ensure every prospect is qualified and their details are loaded onto our customized Client Relationship Management System. Tenants are categorized according to their preferences, time-frame and budget and are then matched to suitable properties.

Press

Although not the main source of enquiry, a Feature Editorial in the real estate section of the weekend newspaper can often stand out. This point of difference can make your property reach a wider audience, and give buyers the confidence to take the next step with their enquiry.

Finance

Whether is is purchasing a property, re-financing a loan or just good advice. We have strong established relationships with a number of excellent finance brokers and lenders. We can introduce you to these add-on services to ensure you are on the right path when investing.

Social Media

At link2realty we can showcase your property on our social pages as well as design and customise an ad that runs for a set amount of time, which engages buyers and has a call to action so we capture every opportunity.

Private Treaty

A vendor selling property through private treaty typically sets a price (or price range) they wish to sell for based on a range of factors, including recent comparable sales in the local area. At link2realty your agent will advertise the property for sale and conduct open inspections so potential buyers can inspect the property. Unlike auctions or set date sales, private treaty sales usually don’t have a fixed date by which the property is to be sold.

Auction

We have an in-house licensed auctioneer who has experience in conducting auctions and can explain the benefits of this method of selling. For buyers facing the prospect of purchasing at auction, our experience can guide you through the process and answer any questions you may have.

Closing Date Sale

Selling by a closing date is a similar to auction, in that the property has a specific marketing period and usually no set price. Interested parties will visit the property and submit offers. The nature of this offer is then presented to the seller.

Discreet Sale

Our “No Hassles” program is a more discreet way of selling. We utilise our extensive database of buyers who can be matched to your property and our experienced sales consultants negotiate an offer avoiding the inconvenience of home opens and public marketing.

Settlement

We have well established links with some of Perth’s best conveyancers. Together, both companies will ensure your experience when buying or selling real estate is efficient, professional and stress free.

Selling Tips

Selling your property is a big decision, one that is often linked to other changes in your life. We’ve prepared some initial tips here to help you along the way and make the process a seamless experience.

Preparation

A buyer’s first impression of your property can be the difference between whether they make an offer on your property or whether they walk away. In order to maximise both the level of interest in your property and the sale price, it is necessary to present your property in the best possible light. Many sellers find preparing their home for sale a daunting process and believe it will cost a lot of money. In reality, great results can be achieved with little time and expense. A good real estate agent can help you with this process.

When should I sell?

In our experience, any day of the year is a good time to sell. Many agents will tell you Spring is the time to sell because the sun is shining, the flowers are blooming and your property will look its best. Whilst this is true to some extent, it also means there are more properties for sale, meaning greater competition and increased bargaining power for buyers.

If your property is located along the coastal strip, research suggests the summer months produce a high level of interest. However, exceptional sales results are achieved throughout the year and are more dependent on economic, political and social influences.

With today’s advanced marketing programs and techniques, a good sale price can be achieved at any time of the year. The key to achieving a good sale price is selecting the right agent who can identify the best marketing strategy for your home, and ensure that every prospective buyer is reached.

Tips on presentation

To increase the level of interest in your property it is imperative you create a good first impression. Here are some tips on how best to present your property to achieve the highest sale price.

Exterior
Make sure gardens and lawns are in good condition and not overgrown. Adding some fresh mulch will improve the overall appearance of your garden. Some potted colour (eg annuals) looks great alongside a path or in a courtyard, and is an inexpensive improvement you can take with you when you move.

Paintwork on gutters, fences, pergolas and under the eaves can often be neglected. Make sure these areas are in good condition.

Water is a soothing element. A water feature or pond can be a focal point to an outdoor entertaining area, and there are varieties available to suit any space and budget.

Swimming Pools
Your pool should be sparkling and clean, and if fenced make sure the local shire requirements for pool fencing have been met.

Entry
Make sure the front door is not obstructed, is clean and opens and closes easily. Remember, this is where prospective buyers have their first and last impression of your home.

Walls and Floors
Carpets and walls should be in good condition. Repainting damaged or marked walls and having the carpets professionally cleaned prior to marketing your property can make a huge difference to its presentation. In high traffic areas you may need to consider replacing the flooring.

Pets
Not everyone is an animal lover; make sure you remove pets during inspections of your property. Consider limiting or removing pet beds, toys and accessories.

Smells and Odours
Prospective buyers are put off by bad odours in the house. If you own pets that come indoors or if you are a smoker, it is advisable to remove these smells before inspections. A deodoriser is often sufficient and is relatively inexpensive.

Kitchens and Bathrooms
Keep all surfaces, doors and taps clean and in good working order. Tiles and mirrors should be clean, cupboards neat and tidy, and appliances in good working order. Exhaust fans should be cleaned in bleach.

Generally
Keep the house uncluttered. You want to create a feeling of space and tranquillity so buyers can wander freely and discover the features and benefits of your home.

Other useful tips

When its time for an open for inspection for your property, consider the following:

  • Play some soft, soothing music
  • Place a vase of fresh flowers on a table or bench top
  • Family photos give the house a nice homely feel
  • Open curtains and blinds to let in light and bring the outdoors in
  • Turn on heating on a cold winters day, and cooling on a hot summers day
  • Turn all lights on to enhance the ambiance of your house
  • The smell of fresh baking bread and freshly brewed coffee ignites the senses and gives the house a welcoming feel

Your Property Preparation Checklist

  • Ask your Sales Representative to identify the areas of your property that require some attention.

  • Determine whether you can complete the work yourself, or if you need the services of a tradesperson.

  • Obtain several quotes (if necessary).

  • Employ the services of a Property Stylist.

  • Make sure all gas, electrical and plumbing applicances are in good working order.

  • Get rid of any unwanted household items (de-clutter).

  • Make a list of everything that is included in the purchases price of the property.

You are now on your way to achieving a successful result, good luck!
