Selling a property whether it’s your family home or an investment is a significant decision, and the right preparation can make all the difference. 
Understand the Market
Before listing your home, it’s important to know what’s happening in the current property market. Are prices trending up or down? Are homes in your area selling quickly? A local real estate expert can provide a comparative market analysis (CMA) and insights into what buyers are currently looking for.
Tip: Keep an eye on similar homes for sale in your area. Their pricing and presentation can give you a sense of what’s competitive.
Choose the Right Agent
Your real estate agent is your partner in the selling journey. Look for someone with local knowledge, proven results, and a marketing strategy that matches your goals. Ask about their experience in selling similar properties, their communication style, and how they plan to attract buyers.
Tip: A good agent won’t just list your home, they’ll help you prepare, price, and promote it to get the best outcome.
Set the Right Price
Pricing your property correctly from the start is critical. Overpricing can scare away potential buyers, while underpricing might leave money on the table. Your agent will help determine a competitive price based on market data, recent sales, and the unique features of your home.
Presentation is Everything
First impressions count! A well presented home attracts more buyers and can even increase your sale price.
- Declutter and clean every room to make the space feel bigger and more inviting.
- Consider small repairs or updates (like fresh paint or modern fixtures) that can add instant appeal.
- Professionally staging your home can showcase your property’s full potential and helps potential buyers envisage themselves living in the home.
Marketing Strategy
A successful sale depends on getting your property in front of the right buyers. Modern marketing combines:
- High quality photography to make your listing stand out online.
- Property portals and social media advertising to reach a wide audience.
- Open homes and private viewings to create excitement and competition.
Know your Selling Costs
Selling a property involves more than just agent commission. Be sure to budget for:
- Marketing, staging and advertising costs
- Legal and conveyancing fees
- Potential repairs or pre sale improvements
Having a clear idea of your expenses upfront avoids surprises later.
Be Ready for Negotiations
Receiving offers can be exciting, but this is where expertise really matters. Your agent will handle buyer negotiations to get the best possible price and terms for you. Sometimes, it’s not just about the highest offer - factors like conditions and settlement dates also play an important role.
Stay Flexible and Open Minded
Every property sale is unique. You may need to adjust your price or marketing approach based on buyer feedback or market shifts. The key is staying flexible and trusting your agent’s advice to adapt as needed.
