Weighing your options

Welcome

1 Our goal is to sell your property for the highest price, in the shortest possible time. This star ts with a realistic comparative market analysis. Our expert agents have unparalleled knowledge of property values in this area and this is why we consistently achieve our anticipated price.

2 We’ll explain the different methods of sale available and help you choose which is best suited to your needs. Typically, options will include Private Treaty (For Sale) or Auction although other alternatives are available if required. We’ll also look at timing and any events that could impact on the success of your campaign and your future plans.

3 To maximise your sale price, our team will outline a range of marketing and advertising options that ensure a wide audience is alerted to your sale. Our comprehensive marketing includes exposure on nine major real estate websites, eMarketing - distributed to thousands of buyers nationally, social media and our exclusive award-winning buyer alert database – Utopia.

4 We love getting the best price for our sellers by making sure buyers see the full value of your property. So, we’ll guide you with recommendations about a myriad of small things you can do to make sure your property is presented in its best light. You’ll be amazed what a difference we can make.

5 Once everything’s ready, we’ll star t showing buyers through your home/property. We’ll offer you the choice of ‘Open House Inspections’ or ‘Private Inspection Appointments’ or both - and discuss times which are best for you to show your property.

6 After each inspection, we keep you informed of our progress by reporting what the prospective buyer thought. We do this through personal contact and technology, utilising a unique seller communication software ‘Inspection Reporter’. This helps ensure we’re on track and you’re in tune with our progress, plus it allows you to fine tune presentation if any areas of concern arise.

First National Nerang strives to consistently maximise the sale price of every home or

investment property we market. We adopt a consultative approach to your sale and pride

ourselves on getting the best results in the shortest possible time. Here’s how…

7 Whether selling by Auction or Private Treaty, offers will be received during your marketing campaign. This is where our negotiation skills make all the difference. We’ll help you assess each offer, making recommendations about tactics, counter-offers, when to ‘walk away’ and when the time’s right to sell.

8 Once you’ve accepted an offer, or the hammer has fallen at Auction, contractual documentation will be signed by both buyer and seller and the deposit paid. We explain everything you’ll need to know at the time, like whether the buyer is entitled to a statutory ‘cooling off period’ and when your sale becomes ‘unconditional’.

9 SOLD!! Some of our customers like to celebrate in the customary fashion at this point so you might feel like opening that bottle of Champagne you’ve been keeping on ice! Alternatively, you might prefer a cup of tea. Whatever your choice, we’ll be just as excited as you as the SOLD sticker goes up.

10 Next up comes the ‘Settlement Period’, typically 4 to 6 weeks. This is agreed to when the contract is first signed, along with any conditions such as finance. Once ‘unconditional’, that’s when you begin packing and planning for ‘moving day’. We’re not finished just yet, we have lots of helpful tips to help you smooth the process, especially where kids are concerned.

11 Moving day. In many cases, this will also be the day your sale ‘settles’ although some people do move out before ‘settlement’. At settlement, the buyer pays the complete balance of the sale price to you, sometimes following the formality of a ‘pre-settlement inspection’. Guess what, we’re still here to help. First National Nerang offers a FREE utility connection service through our partnership with Direct Connect. With one simple phone call, we can have your telephone, internet, gas, electricity, water and all utilities disconnected and re-connected at your new home saving you hours of phone calls.

Method of SaleThere are two main alternatives when selling residential property. They are sale by Private

Treaty (For Sale) and Public Auction. Each offers advantages and your choice will depend

largely on your property, the nature of your sale and your market’s current dynamics.

Private Treaty

When selling by Private Treaty, you set a price before your property is listed for sale. While many people initially feel more comfortable with the idea of setting a price, there are a few things to consider.

You’ll need to firstly determine a realistic asking price. This, in itself, is a difficult process as the true value of any property is what the market is prepared to offer. If a property is well underpriced, it will sell quickly and the price cannot be maximised. If you overprice your property, it may sit on the market for a long period and run the risk of becoming ‘stale’ or being overexposed.

While this method seems more relaxed, there’s also less incentive for buyers to negotiate, complete enquiries and move quickly to complete their purchase. Buyers are sometimes tempted to use the absence of a time limit to their advantage.

We have an excellent knowledge of recent comparable sales in your area and will assist you to arrive at a realistic price and marketing strategy for your proper ty, if you select this method.

Auction

At auction, buyers bid against each other to purchase your property. It is the preferred method of sale for beneficiaries, governments, banks, administrators, executors and trustee companies, corporations and, of course, private sellers.

If the highest bid at auction is acceptable to you, the sale occurs at the fall of the Auctioneer’s hammer. The proper ty is ‘passed-in’ if the highest bid fails to meet your reserve price.

For the owner, auctions have several benefits including:

• Competitive bidding – You enjoy a position of strength as buyers compete against themselves instead of you.

• No pricing issue – You have the benefit of several weeks of market feedback before setting your reserve. Because there is no advertised price, strong demand can sometimes result in a sale price above expectation.

• Three oppor tunities to sell – before, at auction or immediately afterwards.

• Tight timeframe – Buyers have a set timeframe to work towards, usually three or four weeks. This focuses your buyers’ attention and provides the incentive for finances and building inspections to be completed in time for auction day.

• Unconditional contract – You get a cash contract where you dictate the terms and conditions.

• No cooling off – A sale made under the hammer is definite and there is no cooling off period.

What Price Is Achievable?The longer a home is on the market, the more difficult it becomes to achieve a price

premium. Buyers frequently ask how long a property has been for sale. They may suspect

something is wrong with the price or the property if nobody else has bought it.

Ultimately, properties are commodities that are subject to market forces. Our skill lies in maximising your opportunity.

To determine an accurate range that your home/property is likely to sell in, we consider three key elements.

Our goal is to position your property just above the maximum likely price the market will bear. This allows strategic space for negotiation.

Even after we’ve considered all the elements, we still don’t just pluck a figure from gut instinct

We will provide you with a Comparative Market Analysis, in the form of a comprehensive written report with data from independent market analysts to support our estimate and recommendations..

3 Comparative sales - similar proper ties recently sold locally

2 Supply versus demand – the ratio of buyers for a property like yours to the number of

employment, wages

When we begin promoting your property a groundswell of momentum is generated.

Immediately aler ting our buyer database and activating our marketing attracts the interest of all current qualified buyers looking for a property like yours. Competition from the most active buyers in the marketplace peaks in the first few weeks – this is generally when the strongest offers are received.

Maintaining momentum is crucial. If offers are not attracted in the early phases of marketing, a market review is recommended to maintain competitiveness. If price is an issue, then knowing when the time is right to alter pricing is a delicate matter and sends signals to the marketplace. We regularly consult with you to ensure that you understand exactly where you are in the marketplace and your chosen position.

Generating momentum

Keeping you in the loop every step of the way is a vital par t of the process!

We can’t make decisions for you, so it’s important that we keep you 100% in-tune and up to speed with everything that’s going on as it happens, so that you can always make an educated and informed decision when it comes to matters such as response to marketing, presentation, price and offers from buyers.

All the information you need! Here’s how we do it...

We give you regular updates through phone calls, meetings and with our advanced reporting software programme”Reporter”, we also provide weekly written statistical progress reports telling you vital information that allows both you as sellers and our company to continually assess the effectiveness of existing marketing strategies and if necessary, implement alternative strategies to achieve a speedy result at the highest possible price.

Your weekly reports include:

* Total number of inspections * Buyer feedback on their opinion of presentation * Buyer opinion of list price relative to its competitive value in the current market * Buyers level of interest in the property * Total internet inspections/views * Source of buyer enquiry * Links to comparative properties ‘sold’ and properties ‘for sale’ which are competing for the same buyers in the marketplace at or near your price range - a feature that allows you to independently assess for yourself where you are positioned in the market place from a pricing perspective.

Communicating with you

Your Marketing PlanGetting the highest price possible is all about effective marketing....

To find a buyer that’s willing to pay top price for your home/property - takes a whole lot more than just a sign out front, a picture in a window, a basic internet advert and fingers crossed in hope. .

Effective marketing is all about generating strong competition for your property.

More interested buyers means more competition which leads to a premium sale price.

To reach more buyers and to be noticed above your competition means casting the broadest possible catch-net to the marketplace.

Anything less is likely to cost thousands of dollars if time on market is prolonged through lack of buyer interest and activity. The loss is because earlier achievable prices fall, the longer a property remains unsold.

At First National, we reinvest a good portion of our commission from previous sales into marketing our existing sellers properties.

To further boost the effect of our marketing contribution, we will also show you a choice of additional advertising options, either as tailored or packaged plan to achieve maximum market impact.

Marketing your property to get the best possible price is what our role is all about and...

hundreds of people have bought and sold with us several times over. Here’s a few

words from some clients happy to share their experience with you...

“Once we had decided to list, everything went like a dream. Within hours of the

sales team inspecting our home, we had 2 inspections. We received informative

feedback from the salespersons after each inspection, with a written report at the

end of the week. Within 12 days, of being on the market, we signed a contract.

Dealing with Nerang First National has been nothing but a pleasurable experience

and I would gladly recommend them.,”
