Sales Guide
Local knowledge and reputation
Thinking of selling your home? Well you’ve come to the right place. SB Property believe that selling your home, whether it be to upsize/downsize, move to a new area or you just fancy a change we can help you take the stress away. Our prime goal is to sell your home for the best possible price and in the least amount of time. With the market ever changing, our local knowledge and reputation help you to have a seamless transaction from start to finish.
Before Marketing
To begin the selling process, we would instruct a Home Report via a local, reputable surveyor. Following your home report being carried out, we will produce a schedule including high quality imagery, floorplan, room sizes, a description of your property and the asking price; which we will discuss based on the home report valuation.
After the sales particulars are approved by you we will list your property on our website and all of the major portals, rightmove, zoopla and onthemarket.com
Enquiries & Viewings
When we receive enquiries from potential purchasers we ask them relevant questions in order to understand their buying position and availability for viewings before contacting you to organize a suitable time for both parties. After the viewing appointment we will make every effort to get some feedback on their thoughts and potential interest. We operate a 3-call rule whereby we will leave 3 consecutive messages (normally 3 days in a row). Fortunately, most viewers give feedback quickly but on occasion calls are not returned. Please bear this in mind when you are viewing properties with ourselves or other agents as feedback is vital to house selling and all clients appreciate some comments whether good or bad news.
Some helpful tips when preparing for a viewing
Remember, do not give viewers your phone number.
A neatly kept garden will create an instant good impression
Fresh paintwork and a clean fresh interior/exterior also leave a good first impression
Cupboards and garages should be kept as clutter free as possible
Not everyone is comfortable with pets – if possible make alternative arrangements to ensure they give your home the attention it deserves
In daytime have all curtains and blinds opened to allow maximum natural light
Potential buyers often feel like intruders in your home. Help ease this by keeping the company present to a minimum
Viewers will want to view your home with minimum distractions, so don’t feel you have to force conversation
It is important all appointments are made through our office to ensure all the correct details are taken; this helps control the sale of your home
Do not discuss any figures with your viewers. Direct them back to the office to allow us to negotiate the best price for your home
