Selling your home is an experience which is often filled with mixed emotions. It can be stressful and nerve-racking, particularly if you’re not in the hands of a good agent.
The method of sale you choose can accentuate your stress levels during the sale process. If you don’t like stress, and let’s face it, none of us do, than you need to choose a method that gives you the highest price and the lowest stress.
You need a method that minimises any risks of losing and increases your chances of getting the best price. The private treaty sale (For Sale) gives you this. It’s the smart way to sell.
Put simply, it means that you offer your home for sale with a price for all buyers to see. This sale method is honest, open and upfront. This is also a safe method because if you choose your agent wisely, you’ll pay nothing unless your home is sold.
You put your home on the market and you start off with an asking price you are comfortable with. The way to get the highest selling price is to start with a high asking price. if you don’t get much interest, you can then lower the asking price until you find a buyer who will buy it.
Some agents may say that when you put a price on a home, it can only go down. The agents who say this are not skilled negotiators. The sale price of your home can be higher or lower than the asking price. It depends on how many buyers are interested and your agent’s negotiation skills. The right agent can sell homes at or above the asking price, particularly when there is more than one buyer. In this case, the right agent will ask each buyer to declare their best price in confidence. it’s honest, simple and straightforward.
Just as selling a home can be stressful and frustrating, so too can buying a home. Buyers want to be told the truth about price from the start. Because there is no deception on price, this method attracts more buyers. Only when you attract all the genuine buyers can you get the best market price for your home.
