 Selling Tips 

Understanding the Market

Prices are determined by buyers and a property is ultimately worth what the market will pay.  Buyers are aware of similar properties on the market and pricing too high will generally result in few inspections. Most property sellers would like to attract a buyer within 4 - 8 weeks depending on their ultimate goals.


Marketing your biggest asset

• We will tailor an individual marketing program and selling method to suit your particular property with the most popular being:
               Private Treaty (Sale)
               Public Auction
               Public Tender
• Essential sales tools which form the basis of our approach include high impact internet marketing, press advertising, effective window displays, property signage and professional photography.
• Database work and cross-selling are the cornerstones to Hamilton Island Real Estates success, providing you assurance that your property will be marketed to a broad base of potential buyers.

Presentation: first impressions count

Correctly presenting your property for sale can be the difference between getting a typical price and a great price. Please consider these points:

• Attend to all minor repairs
• Gardens (if applicable)
• Ensure white goods are in working order
• Paint touch ups

First impressions are everything when buyers inspect a property.  If buyers are initially attracted to a property and emotionally respond as if they own it, then a sale is likely to result.  Your agent can advise you on how to best present your home for sale to appeal to the widest range of potential buyers. Take time in presenting your property for sale - you only get one chance at a first impression.

The Market: "Getting the right price"

• Your agent will research the local market and compare your property with others that are currently for sale, recently sold and those which have been withdrawn from sale.
• In providing the detail of property prices and time on the market, together with feedback from our buyer database, your agent will be able to assist you in determining a reasonable price in order to attract the greatest number of potential buyers.
