I understand that you have a myriad of choices when it comes to making the decision of when, how and with whom to sell your home. Can you see yourself in any of the following ten categories?

You’ve had the same home for many years and it’s a long time since you sold your last home. You know very little about real estate companies, agents & prices.

You last sold and bought several years ago. The impression your agent at the time made on you doesn’t warrant you calling them, or they no longer sell real estate.

You’ve been quietly thinking of selling for a while now and have visited the odd open home or two. You’re aware that some companies and salespeople list & sell more properties than others, but it doesn’t seem that important to you.

You receive real estate flyers in your letterbox from time to time. Some are interesting and informative. Others beg for listings and some are poor quality.

You’ve sold privately before and you’ll do it again. Pricing is the only thing you want from a real estate agent (at the moment).

You think real estate commissions are high. You’ll pay a reasonable commission if the job is done well, but you want a fair deal.

You know that Barfoot & Thompson charge lower commission than many companies. You also know that they sell approximately 1 in every 2 homes in your area.

You’ve made hasty decisions in the past about financially important matters. You vowed to be more careful the next time around.

Your lawyer or family advised you to get three appraisals. Your aim is to appoint one of the agents you feel most comfortable with, but not necessarily the one with the highest appraisal.

You notice that some people spend thousands to advertise their property for sale. You’re unsure if the market is active enough for your home to sell for a good price. You hope your agent won’t talk you down in price once your home is listed.

If and when we meet I'll chat with you about all of these issues and more. Give me a call on 021 864166, email me at s.koerber@barfoot.co.nz or request a confidential appraisal today.
