You’re considering whether to sell your home … what’s next?
Making the decision to put your home on the market is the first and biggest step of the journey. In many cases, it is a daunting decision. While it’s exciting to think about your next dream home as a buyer, often sellers are anxious about what’s yet to come. To settle all of the emotions, we believe that learning from those who know best will help you through the journey and there is no better place to begin than with Jenny McEvoy Real Estate.
Before you make the important decision of where you want to invest your money and raise your family, Jenny McEvoy Real Estate has some tips to help you through the process with the words of advice they would give their friends when it comes time to sell.
Who should you choose?
It’s important to find an agent who will provide you with an honest price for your home and are compelled to look after you and your interests. Buyers are also getting educated and have access to comprehensive information pertaining to the market, what is available and the price at which properties are selling. If your property is overpriced, it will ultimately cost you money.
However, you don’t want to undersell either. You need facts, honesty and integrity to determine where your home is sitting in the current market.
To achieve this, you need an agent who is not just a highly skilled negotiator, but also the local market expert to ensure you are getting the best possible price you can.

What method of sale is right for you?
Determining the right sale method for your home is crucial and differs from property to property. There are many factors you need to consider when determining what is right for you, but we can help you weigh up the benefits of each sale method. After all, the goal is to achieve the highest sale price for your home in the shortest amount of time.
One of these methods may be best suited, depending on your specific situation and market conditions:
Auction Pros
• You are not limiting your sale price by placing a value.
• Competition among bidders creates potential to achieve a high price.
• Auction creates urgency and a time frame, which is good for the seller and any tenants.
• You have the flexibility to accept a good offer prior to auction. Many buyers dislike auctions but a skilled agent can get a buyer to make a great offer before the auction.
• The process provides you with three chances to sell for a great price: Offers prior to auction; auction; and post-auction when selling at a true reflection of the market’s value. If accurately priced after an auction, your property should sell within a few weeks of the auction process.
• The Auction sale is final, no conditions
Auction Cons
• Buyers who aren’t prepared to view auction properties (or with no price) may not view your property.
• Unless handled properly by the agent, it may attract buyers looking for a ‘bargain’, or worse, NOT attracting the best prospective buyers.
• Buyers may not be finance approved, therefore may not be able to bid at Auction.
Online Auction Pros
•It opens up the entire buyer pool so everybody is bidding for your property. Giving both private treaty and auction buyers the best of both worlds.
•It ensures that only qualified buyers who have cash or pre-approval are able to bid to buy your home.
• It has the ability to exceed your price expectations.
• It’s a transparent system that allows buyers to see who is bidding in real time and where the price is sitting.
Online Auction Cons
•Finance buyers may not be able to bid at auction, thereby reducing the number of potential bidders on the day.
Private Treaty Pros
•Buyers generally prefer this method so you’re likely to attract a high degree of interest from people who are ready to buy.
• When you set a realistic price, you’ll attract serious buyers quickly. You may even sell above the asking price depending on the level of interest and the skill of your agent.
Private Treaty Cons
• If you set the initial price incorrectly, you either run the risk of either selling too cheaply or having to reduce the price to attract buyers. Reducing the price can make you look desperate and reduce the chances of selling at a good price, costing you more money in the long run. Beware of agents who tell you a higher price to obtain the listing. This ultimately costs you, the seller, money. Pricing accurately is key to getting the best possible price when selling by private treaty.
• It may take a little longer to sell your property, usually if the seller has price expectations too far above the market.
