Sellers Information
Sellers there is light in the tunnel. The price of houses are not dropping anymore, but buyers are still looking for bargains.
Sellers, although the interest rate has dropped over the last couple of months, the banks still hava a very strict/tight lending criteria policy.
Sellers, do not make the mistake of thinking that if you sell at a discount price, that the seller from whom you will buy, will also have to sell at a discounted price.

WELCOME TO "THE SELLERS DOMAIN"
Why use a Real Estate Professional?
Getting the maximum market related price for your house means doing more than just putting a "For Sale" sign out in front of your house. In a competitive market where new houses for sale are added daily, your house needs to be seen in a variety of places in order to stand out. Sometimes the right buyer is waiting in another city or even in another country. To ensure your house gets noticed and sells without a hitch for full market value, consider working with a top professional. It could mean the difference between a no sale, and the pay off you have been waiting for.
Advantages of using a Real Estate Professional
• Your house will be marketed with a customised marketing plan.
• Your house will be marketed on the Internet.
• Your house will be marketed by having SHOW HOUSE DAYS.
• All negotiations will be done via an experienced Real Estate Professional.
• All paper work will be taken care of by Property Professionals
The Marketing of your House
As your Selling Agent, we will quickly put together a customised marketing plan with an effective price. A well-priced home will often generate competing offers and drive up the final sale value. Our comparative market analysis takes into account the most actively searched prices, and home values throughout your area, including expired listings, and properties still on the market.
In marketing your home, we also develop a listing that emphasizes its unique and sellable aspects. We then put your home in front of thousands of buyers, establishing it on our website as well as the other broader one’s. With more than 80 per cent of buyers checking the web first when looking for a home, that is a part of our marketing strategy you cannot afford to miss.
Without the help of a Real Estate Professional, marketing your home can be time consuming and difficult. Advertising in the media is often expensive, and many buyers are reluctant to consider homes listed "For Sale by Owner."
When we list your house, we do so at no additional cost.
When you start to get offers, we can represent you during the emotionally charged negotiating process and ensure you get the best price, with favourable closing terms that are clearly spelled out.
As your professional assistant, we also take care of all paperwork related to the sale.
For most of us, our house is our biggest investment. When it's time to sell, get the value you deserve with the help of a Real Estate Professional.

Sellers take note:
According to the Estate Agency Affairs Board "the quality of an estate agent's service is not judged by asking whether or not he has sold or let the client's property; professional service turns on the manner in which an estate agent goes about the performance of his mandate."
Sellers, please do not forget to notify your bank (in writing) that you are placing your house on the market and that the bond will be closed, once the property is sold. If not, your bank will debit you with up to three months interest on the outstanding bond amount.
