Just a minute!
Monday, October 10, 2016
Whilst a recent survey suggests that it takes homebuyers on average 38 minutes to decide whether a property is right for them, in reality most will know within the first minute whether it is “the one” or not. Remarkably fast given that buying your own home is likely to be the largest financial investment you will ever make, so it’s perhaps not surprising that a second, longer viewing is necessary to confirm their decision.
But it’s not all about letting the heart decide as they step over the threshold. With so much property information readily available on agents’ websites, house hunters can do a lot of homework before deciding which properties are worth viewing. Photos, floorplans, local amenity information, transport links and almost everything you need to know about a property is available on screen, so if all the practical boxes are ticked, a buyer only has to step through the front door to reach a heartfelt “yes”.
Increasingly, how you present your home in terms of kerb appeal and in marketing terms can affect how long your property remains on the market and whether it achieves on or near the asking price. Expert advice can make a real difference on both counts. A local NAEA estate agent such as The Frost Partnership can give you a FREE, accurate valuation of your property based on current local market conditions and suggest ways to make your property appeal to the widest number of potential buyers. We will showcase your property to full effect with clear floorplans, quality photographs and a virtual tour to really bring it to life.
Furthermore, to reach the most potential buyers, your property should be marketed at a local, national and international level. The Frost Partnership’s network of 15 linked offices across Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and Middlesex provides direct access to a shared database of thousands of active potential buyers locally. Through Relocation Agent Network, The Frost Partnership has over 30 associated London offices to link us with buyers moving out of London and into this area, and via websites and extensive use of social media we offer the international exposure required to reach buyers worldwide.
So if you’re looking to sell your property, talk to your local property expert. Call your local Frost office for a FREE valuation, professional advice and a stress free sale. We’ll get you moving this autumn.
