Secondly, why does KW claim we can sell faster in any given market?

Well, the short answer to this property question is our technology is better.  We are able to stay in touch with all our buyers and our sellers.  We don’t lose track of one another and the reason this gives our great agents the edge is that we don’t drop leads.  We don’t drop or forget what buyers are looking for.  And we don’t drop balls with good technology in place to support a solution that ends up as a win-win for all parties.  Click here to book your property valuation.

The Most Commonly Asked Property Questions Are:

  • Property Valuation: Firstly, we start with what is your property worth in the current market.  Click here to book your free property evaluation today.
  • Selling Timeline: They inquire about the average time it takes to sell a home in their local market and factors that might influence the timeline.  The short answer is that if your property is priced correctly for the current market, it will sell fast.  In a recently published article, click here to read it, it is taking 85 days to sell a property given current property and economic conditions.
  • Then the OTP gets submitted and that could take around 3 months.
  • Preparing your home: It all starts with getting ready for your photo shoot.  Neat as a pin is what we are looking for.  Your property must pop online when we take pictures.  The light must be brilliant and your property must make a great first impression online.  If you need to get all the little things sorted like fixing door handles, fixing leaking taps or finishing the paintwork, we need it perfect.
  • Choosing a great agent to work with – well this is one of the most important things to consider.  Choose a great agent that you really can work with.  Someone that resonates honesty and integrity, but above all choose a great agent that actually has listings and therefore buyers to view your property.  The quicker we can let people know about your property the better.  Click here to find out what a great Agent actually is.

  • Marketing Strategies: This is NOT a cut-and-paste job either. Selling a R650,000 property versus R6,500,000 is a little different.  Buyers are different.  The qualifying questions that a great agent should be asking when buyers enquire about a property are always different.  And more importantly, what will a great Agent be doing to assure you that they have done this before and they have your back?  A tech-led agent is now the buzzword and if you are considering an agent without a social media profile keep scrolling.  Click here to find out how KW Select will market your property when you sell.

  • Negotiation Tips: Potential buyers, especially in the current market will take chances.  It’s a buyer’s market.  That means the great Agent you partner with to sell your biggest asset must honestly have walked this road before.  No half measures here. Experience is key.

  • Legal and Financial Obligations: Let’s consider the contractual steps here to include (the mandate which covers the 5 x P’s) being the price, the property, the professional fee or the commission, the parties (registered property owners) and finally the period for the mandate.  The seller declaration is a key requirement now and is required to support a property transfer.  Then we get the OTP or offer to purchase which is a binding legal contract or document.  An OTP is always signed by the buyer first who would put in their best offer.  The OTP is then presented to you with all the facts so that you can make an informed decision.
  • Market Conditions: Yes, it’s a buyer’s market.  And yes, you need a great Agent that knows how to operate in a buyer market.  A great agent will create ease with their skills and experience.  A buyer’s market is tough but if you are realistic about the asking price, you will get your sale.
  • Moving Tips: We already have this covered. Click here to view our moving tips so you can get started.  Leaving things to the last minute is just stress you can avoid ahead of time.

Furthermore, our property owners who are planning on selling their property have these and more questions.  Also, we are here to instil the confidence you need when you sell your biggest asset.  Finally, we provide reliable information and marketing strategies to support how we do what we do.  And we make sure that you have a great experience when you sell.  Referrals and word of mouth is something we value as with our reputation.
