What is the most profitable way to sell my house?

Here are 10 tips for selling your property with a local Gold Coast Real Estate Agent

1. Find a trustworthy agent. When choosing an agent it is important to consider the following factors:

• Experience: Choose an agent who has experience of selling houses on the Gold Coast.
• Knowledge: Choose an agent who has a thorough knowledge of the Gold Coast property market.
• Reputation: Ask for recommendations from friends, family and colleagues. Read online reviews to see what other clients have said about the agent.
• Communication style: Choose an agent who communicates effectively and keeps you informed throughout the selling process.

2. Invest in value-adding improvements. Some value-adding improvements you can make to your home include

• Kitchen and bathroom renovations: A new kitchen or bathroom may significantly increase the value of your home.
• Adding a deck or patio: A deck or patio can add valuable living space to your home and make it more attractive to buyers.
• Paint: A fresh coat of paint can make your home look more appealing and updated.
• Landscaping: Professional landscaping can improve your home’s curb appeal and make it more inviting.

3. Improve your curb appeal. Here are some tips to improve your home’s curb appeal:

• Clean the driveway and gutters.
• Plant fresh flowers.
• Trim the bushes.
• Pressure wash the outside of your home.
• Add new outdoor lighting.
• Repair any broken or damaged features.

4. Get a Professional Home Appraisal. A Comparative Market Analysis home appraisal is a professional assessment of the value of your home. It is carried out by a licensed real estate agent who takes into account factors such as the size and condition of your home, its location and recent sales of similar homes in your area.

Obtaining a home appraisal can help you set a realistic asking price for your home. It can also help you identify areas where you may need to invest in repairs or improvements to increase the value of your home.

Here are some of the benefits of a property appraisal:

• It can help you set a competitive asking price.
• It can identify any potential problems with your home that need to be addressed before you sell.
• It can give you peace of mind that you are getting a fair price for your home.

If you are considering selling your home, I recommend that you get a home appraisal before you put your home on the market. It is a wise investment that can save you time and money in the long run.

5. Stage your home. Staging your home is the process of preparing it for sale to make it as attractive as possible to buyers. This may involve removing clutter, rearranging furniture and adding fresh flowers and plants. The aim of staging is to make buyers feel as if they could move straight into your home.

6. Make your home stand out with professional photography. Professional photographs are essential for any property listing. As part of your marketing budget, hire a professional photographer to capture the best features of your home.

7. Set the right asking price. Setting the right asking price is crucial to selling your home quickly and for top dollar. Setting the asking price too high will deter buyers, while setting it too low could leave money on the table.

To set the right asking price, consider the following factors:

• Comparable sales: Look at the prices of similar homes that have recently sold in your area.
• Condition of the home: Consider the condition of your home and make any necessary repairs or improvements before putting it on the market.
• Market conditions: The property market is constantly changing, so it is important to consider current market conditions when setting your asking price.

8. Remove personal items. Buyers want to be able to imagine themselves living in your home, so it is important to remove personal items such as family photos, religious symbols and political memorabilia.

9. Be prepared to move quickly. The property market on the Gold Coast moves quickly, so be prepared to act quickly if you receive an offer. This means being prepared to negotiate and having all your paperwork in order, including your Verification of Identity, as well, with a property transaction worth $750,000 or more an ATO Clearance Certificate.

10. Use your head, not your heart. Selling your home can be an emotional process, but it is important to stay objective and make decisions based on your financial goals. This means being prepared to negotiate the price and not getting too attached to your home – you are wanting to move on.

Following these tips will help you sell your property for the highest price possible with a Real Estate Agent.
