Most buyers decide within a few minutes of walking through the door. A little preparation before you list makes a real difference to how fast your house sells, and for how much.
Get your papers in order first
Serious buyers will ask for them early, and missing papers are the most common reason a sale stalls.
- The indenture or land title certificate for the plot
- The site plan
- The building permit, if you have it
- Receipts for recent major work, such as a new roof or solar panels
Fix the small things
Dripping taps, broken handles, stained walls and dead bulbs make buyers wonder what else has been neglected. A weekend of small repairs and a fresh coat of paint in the main rooms pays for itself.
Price it from real sales, not hopes
Look at similar homes nearby that have actually sold or rented, not just asking prices. A house priced right from the start gets more viewings in the first weeks, when interest is highest. An overpriced house tends to sit, and then sells for less.
Make it easy to view
- Keep the compound clean and the gate easy to open
- Open the curtains and switch the lights on before each viewing
- Let the agent show the house; buyers speak more freely when the owner is not in the room
Good photos sell the viewing
Most buyers find property online first. Clear, bright photos of every room, the outside and the view bring people in. Our team takes care of this when you list with us.
