Selling Your Home or Investment Property

From selling our own home many years ago as a “sale by vendor” through to creating Northwood our experience will help you get the very best out of selling your property.

Selling a home is, by any measure, a really big event for most of us. An event which can easily become very stressful and overwhelming if not well managed and directed.

At Northwood we understand how to navigate this process and guide you along a straight-forward and no nonsense path to sales success. The sales process is easily divided into logical steps from appraising your property’s position in the current market through to final settlement and completion of your sale.

Our motivation is getting you the best possible deal for your property whilst making the process as easy and straight-forward as possible for you. Check out what previous customers of ours are saying about their Northwood experience at the bottom of this page.

The Sales Process

Featured

First - getting an appraisal of your home

The critical starting point of any sales campaign is getting your property professionally and honestly appraised. To often this becomes being about which agent gives you the highest number rather than what can actually be achieved and where your property sites in the market.

Agents “buying” listings does no one any favours especially you, the vendor. Of course a good agent will work hard to maximise your opportunity but we do all need to agree on realistic fact based sales expectations.

This appraisal should also address the best way to present and market the property.

Second - preparing the property for sale

The appraisal will also have addressed what could possibly be done to improve your opportunity by presenting the property in the best possible light.

This is now the time to get the trades people in to do any work that needs doing. A good agent will have a selection of tried and trusted people to choose if you need help.

A contract of sale will now need to be prepared by your solicitor or conveyancer.

Third – preparing the sales tools

Discussing what you love about your home and preparing the sales pitch.

Get our photographers through to take photos, draw up a floorplan and create a video detailing the major features of your home.

Agree on suitable times for open home inspections.

Fourth – the actual selling

Distribute letterbox invitations and utilize the Northwood Network by leaving your brochure at cafes, hairdressers and other local businesses in the Network.

Promote your property to our database and through our connections.

Create warm, friendly and relaxing open homes to engage positively with your prospective buyers.

Provide buyers with all the benefits of buying your property to piggyback on their emotional engagement with your home.

Working with buyers same day to qualify their interest and advance your sale.

Keeping you informed all the time and presenting qualified and real offers.

Fifth – closing the sale

Accepting the best offer.

“107/201-207 Epping Road, Marsfield NSW 2122

“Northwood Real Estate was referred to us by a friend. The first meeting with Peter and Michael Ernst instilled confidence due to their efficient, professional discussion of the sales process.

However, they were open and honest with us when conferring on the challenges involved. Not only were they informative and realistic during the inspection of our premises but also helpful in the engagement of tradespeople to undertake some essential refurbishment prior to putting the property on the market.

The sales process required some innovative endeavour and this was provided very well. From the very start Peter and Michael established themselves as effective communicators with us and other parties in sometimes difficult situations.

During the sales period we were kept up to date on developments and made aware of interested parties. Overall, this interaction resulted in a timely resolution of our desire to achieve a sale.

Due to our recent experience with Northwood Real Estate we have no hesitation in recommending their services.”

— Lyn and Gerard Langtry - vendors

“We just recently purchased our first property with Northwood and they were amazing. Being our first time buying a property and having dealt with many real estate agents prior, we were becoming quite overwhelmed with the process.

After our first meeting with Peter, we realised that his services were different to the other Real Estate agents we had previously dealt with. His communication and honesty was in my opinion a breath of fresh air in a still competitive Sydney housing market.

Peter went above and beyond to provide us with exceptional customer service, and explained things to us in a manner that was easy to understand. Thank you Peter, it was a pleasure dealing with you.”

— Stephen, first home buyer
