TEAMING UP WITH BRAITHWAIT
SO, YOU’VE SELECTED YOUR ESTATE AGENT TO HELP SELL YOUR HOME, BUT WHAT’S THE NEXT STEP? WHILE THE BALL IS NOW WITH US AS YOUR PROPERTY SELLING PARTNER (ALTHOUGH WE NEVER FORGET YOU’RE THE CLIENT) WE’RE RESPONSIBLE FOR KEEPING THE PROGRESS OF THE SALE ON TRACK. THERE ARE SOME THINGS YOU CAN DO TO HELP ACHIEVE THE BEST DESIRED OUTCOME WHEN SELLING YOUR PROPERTY.
You could look at it like this. We are now a team, on the same side and both motivated to secure the right sale. In light of this, it’s best to make sure that we’re agreed on exactly what you’re looking to achieve over the coming weeks or months.
We’ve put together eight main ways which take you from the first meeting – where we give you an appraisal on your property – through to obtaining the right offer and ultimate completion of the sale. These underpin our marketing strategy and are practices which are tried, tested and proven.
1. BE CLEAR ON TIMELINE
Before doing anything else, we need to understand your expectations from the outset. Ask questions, any questions! An indication of how quickly you’re looking to move is really key – whether you’re aiming
for a specific timeframe, with maybe a lifestyle event to factor in, or if you’re happy to hold on for a little longer for a more generous buyer. This will really help us as your agent to organise and prioritise your requirements.
2. STAYING UPDATED
Working with anyone requires communication on all sides, so keeping in close contact is paramount. Let us know how regularly you’d like to be updated on the sale’s progress along the way. For general updates including market conditions we suggest every seven to 10 days, but we also recommend aiming for a couple of days after every viewing to gain feedback from potential buyers and so you know what is happening.
