This guide explains how you can potentially save when choosing to market your property with Dream Castle.
Listing your property on Dream Castle
Listing your property could not be easier on Dream Castle. You the seller measure up your home and take all the necessary photos.
You can then upload them onto our property database.
Potential buyers can then email you directly about your property. Remember when you use Dream Castle you will receive information about the buyer in their first e-mail exchange with you. This information is provided directly from the buyer.
Who undertakes the viewings of my property?
The seller undertakes the home viewings. As the home owner we believe you will know the most about your property.
Most seller’s on Dream Castle vet buyers before inviting them for their first viewing. This can be achieved via e-mail exchanges directly with the buyer.
Most sellers set a block viewing date. This allows viewings to be undertaken on one day if the sellers wishes, say on a Saturday morning that’s convenient.
For some home owners living in desirable parts of Cardiff they may even receive offers within their first set of block viewing appointments. Because Cardiff properties are so in demand some sellers may question the need for a Cardiff Estate Agent and use Dream Castle instead to market their property with us.
Therefore we can save you potentially a large sum compared to selling your property through some other methods.
Who values my property?
It is down to the property owner and the seller to set the properties sales price.
However some property sellers may solicit the services of an estate agent to use their free valuation services which are offered sometimes on a no obligation basis. Some sellers then use this information to make an informed judgement as to what there property is worth.
It is down to the property owner to set the sales price which can then be inputted onto our marketing platform by the seller.
Who negotiates the sales price?
Most sellers on Dream Castle clearly inform buyers there minimum figure that they will accept. This also allows some sellers to weed out buyers who are offering low offers from the start.
Sellers can choose to inform buyers of a minimum sales price. By informing all potential buyers of a sales price this allows for greater transparency between seller and buyer.
Some sellers prefer this method than compared to an estate agents handling negotiations because the seller can deal with the buyer direct.
Can I market my property with a Cardiff estate agent and be listed on Dream Castle at the same time?
Dream Castle advises against advertising your property with an estate agent and on Dream Castle at the same time. That’s because some estate agents have clauses written into their sales agreements with you as the seller that no other party can market your property while they are acting and instructed as the estate agent.
Do check your agreement and contract for further clarity on this. If in doubt consult a solicitor.
Dream Castle allows a property owner to market their property with us and where ever else the home owner wishes. However Dream Castle does not accept responsibility if a home owner markets their property with an estate agent and breaches an agreement that the home owner has made with their appointed estate agent or property retailer.
We therefore advise that Dream Castle should be the sole place for marketing your property
