FAQ's
Selling a house is a big decision and there is much to consider before putting your property on the market. Our guide to some of the most frequently asked vendor questions will help you feel informed and prepared for the big event.
What is the best time of year to sell my home?
Whereas historically there were two periods of time in the calendar year where the real estate market was most active, in recent years this mentality has changed. Now, the best time to sell is when it suits you, based on your own needs and aspirations. At McKenzie White, we are experienced at selling properties and getting the best price for you all year round. If you have a preference, or if your home suits a particular time of year better, we will work with you on this.
Should I engage an agent?
It is highly advisable to use a real estate agent when selling your home. A good agent has expert local market knowledge and negotiating skills, access to extensive marketing resources and buyer networks, and a sound understanding of the legal process, which all help to maximise price and minimise stress.
How long will it take to sell my house?
Many factors influence how long it will take to sell your home, and these include everything from your listing price and the condition of your home to local market conditions. We can help you understand the current selling climate and how this will impact timelines.
How much will it cost to sell my home?
There are unavoidable costs associated with selling a home. These include conveyancer or solicitor’s fees, as well as marketing costs to ensure your property is shown in its best light to the right people. Because every home is different, agent commission and marketing costs will vary. We will guide you through this process.
How should I prepare my home for sale?
First impressions count, so making your property as appealing as possible will ultimately have a positive impact on potential buyers. Clear away clutter, carry out minor repairs and boost your kerb appeal by tidying the garden. We can provide guidance and also provide interior design services, full home styling and maintenance services where required.
Who makes the marketing arrangements?
We will take care of every detail, from booking professional, high-quality photographers and videographers, to curating a considered calendar of open-for-inspections and a bespoke marketing plan that will maximise your sale price. Our thorough, end-to-end service means you don’t have to worry about a thing.
How do I know what sales method to choose?
We can step you through the benefits and limitations of all sales campaigns, the most common sales methods in Melbourne are private sales, auctions and expression of interest. Each are used in different scenarios and based on your preferences. Private sale is the most commonly used sales method.
What is a Private Sale?
A Private Sale is when your property is advertised and prospective buyers are invited to make offers. There are no time restrictions submitting offers. Your agent will negotiate individually with buyers. These negotiations may include the terms of sale, such as settlement date and additional clauses like the sale being subject to inspection or bank finance. You can decide if you would like to accept the offer or not. Once an agreement is reached, contracts of sale are exchanged and the buyer pays the deposit, with the balance due on the agreed settlement date. There is a three-day cooling-off period during which the buyer can change their mind.
What is an EOI?
During an Expression of Interest (EOI) sale, buyers are invited to submit their best offer to purchase your property. This may be done on or before a nominated closing date and time. The offer must be submitted on a Contract of Sale, which includes terms such as price, deposit, and settlement date. The agent then gives you all the offers so you can make your choice. Offers are not shown to other prospective buyers. In some cases, if there are multiple parties and multiple offers, an EOI campaign may conclude by conducting a Private Auction under Exclusive Sale conditions, in which case all bids are made in absolute transparency and acknowledged by the auctioneer.
What is an auction?
Auctions are conducted at a pre-arranged date, time and place, run by a licensed real estate agent. There is usually a 4 week advertising campaign run in the lead up to the event. When the auction begins, prospective buyers make competitive bids against each other until only one bidder remains. By bidding, prospective buyers are agreeing to the terms of contract, which they view before the auction. It’s also important to note there is no cooling-off period with auctions. Contracts will be signed and exchanged immediately after the auction and a 10% deposit paid. The ‘auction conditions’ begin 3 business days before an auction date, and lapse 3 business days after the auction. Any offer submitted in that time period will be treated as an unconditional offer.
