How Much is Your Home Worth?
Deciding the most appropriate price for your property is the most important function of the whole selling process. Most people believe they have a fair idea just by looking in the paper or real estate magazines. However, in many cases this is a dangerous strategy as every home is different. They may be in the same suburb or even the same street, but that bears little relation to the selling price of your home today.
The only accurate way to establish the right selling price for your home is to get a market appraisal by a qualified professional sales consultant. Market appraisals by Professionals Refresh are obligation free, and as your agent, we will give you an accurate assessment of the current market conditions. We will detail for you how many homes have been sold recently in your area and the average price and descriptions of the homes. We will also provide a personalised comprehensive analysis of your home and the current market activity.
Professionals Refresh knows your area and will ensure that we position the price for your home correctly. All successful sales are based on getting the pricing formula right. Overpricing or underpricing is a common fault which can lead to heartbreak if you are not armed with all the facts. For such a big decision it is worth getting a Professional market appraisal – we probably have a list of buyers waiting for your home right now!

17 Little Known Secets to Selling Your Home......
If you’ve got it, flaunt it. It might be time to add a bit of shine and polish to your home. First impressions will be lasting so it’s important that your home looks its absolute best inside and out.
1. Lasting First Impressions
The front door greets the prospect. Make sure it is clean. Keep the lawn trimmed and edged, and the yard free of rubbish. Lots of healthy green plants in the kitchen, bathroom, entrances and verandah’s look attractive and create a good impression.
2. Open Airy Atmosphere
Illumination is welcoming. Drawn curtains and drapes are lovely but can tend to dull the atmosphere. Make sure your home is well lit. Dark rooms do not appeal. Clean all marks off the walls to make rooms brighter.
3. Decorate – Set the Scene
Colourful flowers and some indoor plants help to set the scene of tranquility and serenity. Strategically place them throughout the home/unit. Faded walls and worn woodwork reduce appeal. By redecorating, the potential purchaser is shown how good the home/unit can look.
4. Fittings – Repairs Make A Big Difference
Small things such as leading taps, loose knobs, sticking doors or windows put people on the defensive and lead your agent to make apologies for lack of maintenance. Minimise these annoyances, flaws detract from your homes value. Have them fixed.
5. Kitchens and Bathrooms
These are the most important rooms in the house and must be presented in a spotless condition. Don’t leave dishes in the sink or on the drain board. Some dishes cooked the night before may leave an unpleasant odour. Dripping water and discoloured sinks, suggest faulty plumbing. Fix any loose or broken tiles. If the mirror needs replacing, do so, or at least give it a good clean. Tidy draws and vanity, putting cosmetics, razors and toiletries away. Attractive bottles of perfume always look elegant. Put a posy or bowl of potpourri next to the basin or a display of decorative soaps.
6. Room to Move
Remove excess furniture, allowing potential purchasers to move freely around the home.
7. Obvious Faults
The discovery of even a relatively minor fault by a potential purchaser often leads to a more thorough search of the property. Reduce the risk of a guarded and tentative inspection; fix any faults prior to showing your home.
8. Cupboards and wardrobes
Most genuine purchasers wish to know about storage and therefore inspect the areas. Tidy these spaces and make sure they are not overcrowded to avoid any impression of lack of space.
9. Not for sale items
Any favourite light fittings, curtains, blinds or any other item with sentimental attachment should be removed and alternative replacement items put in place prior to your agent showing your home. It avoids complications when you get an offer from a purchaser.
10. Pets
Most people like pets, but some don’t! Make sure they are out of the way when purchasers are coming through. A barking dog will not only concern some people, by may also take their concentration away from inspecting your home. Remove kitty litter trays and pet food bowls.
11. Garage
Make sure all garden equipment and general gear is placed as favourably as possible, to give an impression of size.
12. List of features
There is a good possibility that the features you liked about your home/unit could be the same as the ones a new owner will find attractive. Make a list of these and give them to your agent to help capitalise them.
13. Encourage feedback
When an inspection is taking place make sure you are well out of range of potential purchasers. This will encourage them to speak freely and make comments to your sales person.
14. Lights
Adding atmosphere assists in selling a home. Ensure light globes have been replaced and that darker rooms have lights on.
15. Music
Create the right mood to buy. Play appropriate music during your open for inspection to invoke the buyers emotions from your potential buyers. Softly play the music in the background.
16. Appeal to their sense of smell.
Fresh flowers not only add colour but provide an exotic fragrance for potential purchasers.
17. Fresh Fruit
Place a bowl of fresh fruit with a variety of colours in a prominent position within the kitchen or dining room areas. |
