Why Selling Your Home Should Be a Team Effort

Selling a home is not a solo project – especially if you hope to achieve the top selling price. A three-minute read.

If there’s one piece of property advice worth remembering, it’s this: be wary of anyone who tells you that selling a home is so easy that you should do it yourself.

Many things in life are easy, like singing out of key or eating a whole packet of chocolate biscuits in one afternoon.

What is not easy is achieving top asking price for a property, and that’s where we can help.

It takes a team with expertise and experience across a range of areas to nail a great sale.

Not even the most ingenious multi-tasker has the skills to cover all the bases themselves.

Here’s a list of who should be on your home-selling team.

Estate agent – a good agent will be an expert on the local area and get the asking price just right. They should be professional at viewings and negotiations and have a savvy social media strategy to generate interest in your property.

Photographer – All top agents use a professional photographer for marketing photos. Most viewers start their property search online and expect to see high-quality images.

Conveyancer/Solicitor – Once the sale is agreed, you will need a good solicitor or conveyancer to handle the paperwork. Ask for word-of-mouth recommendations to find the right professional; a good conveyancer/solicitor can make all the difference.

Removal firm – On the day you complete, you will want the logistics to run smoothly – and for your treasured possessions to be handled with care.

Proactive seller – Sellers are vital members of the team, too! A proactive seller removes clutter from their home, so that it shines in the marketing photos, and also keeps the property tidy for viewings.

And a few special mentions

If you are selling up to move to a new property, your team will also include a mortgage adviser to land you the best deal and a surveyor to inspect any property you’re considering buying.
