Maximise your sale result. The best presentation means you will get the best result.

The public face of your property is the view from the street and this is the first impression people will get. And more than likely it will be a lasting impression, so you will want your property to look it's best when it comes time to sell.

To make your property more appealing, JMBenson's experienced team will help you recognise the small things that will make a big difference to prospective buyers. Here a few Selling Tips that should help you improve your sales result.

Method of Sale - which is best for you and your property?

The main alternatives:

Sale by Auction - AUCTION

Sale by public auction is generally the preferred method of marketing real estate in Melbourne. If there is any doubt as to the maximum price, vendors select an auction because of the results achieved with all interested parties present at the auction bidding against one-another. The nature of the property, the needs of the vendor and the reason for selling all play a part in promoting auction a as method of sale.

Sale by Private Treaty - FOR SALE

Private sale is often suited to properties where there is already an established market value such as in an apartment building where there have been several recent sales to give a guide to value. If the prospect of an auction is overwhelming for the vendor, then private sale may yield a better result, in particular if there is no urgency to sell.

Sale by Tender - TENDER

This is not the preferred method for residential sales, it is more applicable to commercial, industrial, retail or special interest properties. If you wish to sell a similar type of property by tender, interested parties have more time to consider the associated complex issues before lodging a tender.

Some considerations to bear in mind when choosing a method of sale are:

The type of property to be sold
The area and environment in which the property is located
The state of the market for your type of property
The professional skills and resources of the Agent
Your own marketing preferences and personal circumstances
