What are the steps for selling a home?

The steps for selling your home may seem complex but they are in fact very simple and can sometimes happen very fast when you find the right type of buyer within Cardiff. This is where dream Castle can help as we can put you in touch with buyers of properties within Cardiff.

 

 

Valuation

 

Obtaining a valuation for your property is the first initial step to help get your property sold, however it is important that you contact reputable and well known and respected the state agents to value your property.

 

You should also not just rely on one estate agent valuation you should get at least three valuations from estate agents and you could then make up your mind about how much your property is actually worth how much you want to put the property on the market for

 

 

 

Appointing somebody to market your property

 

The next stage is appointing somebody to market your property.

 

You have to choose the option that best fits your circumstances, for example you may want to use an online estate agency because this could possibly save you money.

 

However this often means that the person selling the property has to do a lot of the work themselves in terms of measuring up the property and writing a description of the property.

 

If you are looking for a total hands off approach to selling your home in terms that you only are engaged when the exchange of contracts happen then perhaps using a high Street estate agency would be the best option for you within Cardiff

 

 

Measuring up

 

Either yourself or estate agent will measure up each room within your property to give the potential buyer a good understanding about room sizes and also they will write a description about your properties layout and also its current condition

 

 

Taking the photographs

 

 

An estate agent all yourself will then take photographs of the property and this often differentiates a good quality estate agent from a bad one.

 

We say this because sometimes the photographs can let the property down and mean that you do not get the potential buyers come through because they may be put off by the photography of the property.

 

Therefore if you are selling the property yourself make sure that you use a professional photography company.

 

Answering the enquiries

 

Either an estate agent all yourself will then have to start answering the enquiries that come through from potential buyers.

 

Therefore you may have a high volume of interest from a online estate agent such as our website, you may also get questions coming from an estate agent to the property seller who want certain details clarified so that they can convey the incident information over to the property buyer

 

 

 

Showing people around your home

 

You can show people around your property and sell it yourself, a lot of people however allow an estate agent to do this because they may have work commitments which means they cannot be at the property at the same time that somebody wants to view the house.

 

An alternative solution to this and what a lot of people do when they use a dream Castle is that they set an open day for the property and they are at the property say on a Saturday or Sunday may allow a lot of people to do a block viewing and to show them around their home themselves

 

 

Negotiating a sales price

 

 

The final part of selling a property is often negotiating a sales price with the property buyer, what makes dream Castle so different is that the sales negotiation process happens directly between the buyer and the seller and there is no need from estate agent to get involved.
