TIPS FOR SELLERS

Whether you are selling your lifetime home or an investment property, finding and selecting a real estate agent is a serious decision and Highfields Property Sales is here to assist you in every aspect of your real estate journey.

BE SALE READY – SELL WITH CONFIDENCE

Create a welcoming and spacious atmosphere that will promote your property by presenting its features and benefits in the best light to potential buyers.

Street Appeal – When a buyer first arrives at your property, their initial impression is shaped by its exterior appearance. This initial look can evoke either a positive or negative feeling, influencing their decision to explore the property further or lose interest. Spending some productive time ensuring the lawns are mowed, driveways are swept, and gardens are weeded goes a long way in enhancing curb appeal and evoking a positive feeling for the buyers.

Declutter – Remember, less is more. Marie from Highfields Property Sales is happy to offer guidance in this area and assist with room staging to maximise space in your home and focus on its best features.

Pets – While everyone loves their pets, some potential buyers may not be animal lovers. Ensure your pets are contained in a designated area during inspections. Clean up their spaces, such as bird seeds, droppings, and kitty litter. Fill the house with fresh, fragrant flowers or candles. Additionally, check the backyard to ensure all lawn areas are free of dog droppings.

PRICE

When pricing a property, several factors such as the current market, location, and recent sales in the area must be taken into account. Marie at Highfields Property Sales provides a simple, no-obligation appraisal. Her extensive knowledge of Highfields and surrounding areas, coupled with a decade of experience, ensures a precise valuation for your property.
