    Things to think about

  • The way you present your property can have a big impact on the final sale price. Investing in a few improvements and repairs may be necessary to maximise your sale price. Consider hiring a professional to prepare your property for sale. NP Evernest are experts in property presentation and can advise on modifications to suit your needs.

  • Affective marketing is critical to the success of your sale. NP Evernest include print and online marketing services to spread the message about your property listing.

  • If you are reliant on the funds from your sale prior to purchasing a new property, wait until the funds are cleared and the sale finalised before purchasing. No matter how secure the deal seams, things can change and sales are complex. Waiting to purchase your new property is the best bet.

  • To auction or not to auction? NP Evernest can advise on whether an auction will be the right direction for your property. There are complex factors to consider when making this decision. Make sure you do your research and talk to professionals.

  • When you set your reserve price, research the prices for similar properties in your neighbourhood. You can now find out the price history for individual properties online and also median prices for each neighbourhood. NP Evernest can also assist you to set your reserve price. Make sure you communicate your reserve price in writing with your agent.

  • Method of Sale

    There are several methods of sale we can employ, and each has its own relative merits.

    Auction

    Public auction is often the most popular method especially in a competitive market. Auctions can bring in higher than expected outcomes in a shorter period of time.

    Private Sale

    Private sale is always a popular option and can be the preferred option when a particular property value is being sought.

    Expressions of interest

    Expressions of interest are effective for private bidders or when a you have a set timeline for sale

    Sale by tender

    Often used for larger properties and development opportunities.
