We opened our first branch in 1999 and have now expanded to four branches across Brighton & Hove, so we know a thing or two about selling homes. Our unrivalled local knowledge, expertise and passion for the city means we’re able to help our clients get the very best price on the market.
Selling
property is an art, but there are some simple things you can do to get a good
deal on your house. Here are our top six tips:
Always get a
second valuation
An accurate
valuation is indispensable. Price too high and you could be sitting for months.
Price too low and you could be missing out on your dream home for the sake of a
quick sale.
Choose the
right agent
Be careful
not to fall for whoever gives you the highest valuation or charges the lowest
commission. You need someone with excellent knowledge of the local market, and
the experience to effectively handle negotiations. We have over 15 years’
experience in the city and pride ourselves on unrivalled, personalised service
from the moment you step through any of our office doors.
Be up-front
about major flaws
If there are
any serious problems with the house, make sure you tell your agent. It could be
the difference between a fuss-free sale and the whole thing falling apart –
which no one wants. Non-disclosure is false economy. Be honest and open from
the start.
Time the
sale right
Brighton's
property market tends not to be seasonal, but that doesn’t mean it’s not immune
to the wider climate. Our quarterly market
trends report can help you decide if it's better to sell now or hold off a
while.
Finish your
DIY
And
de-clutter, and do the gardening. It's important to show the property at its
best. The less imagination required of buyers, the better.
Quality over
quantity
This might seem obvious, but the more people who see the property, the greater your chance of selling. The key message is quality and flexibility. Catch the right buyers at the right time by agreeing flexible viewing times with your agent. Last but not least, choose an agent you can trust to hand-pick the most suitable buyers for your home.
