First of all we need to prepare for photos so when I come around to take the video and the photos for the property for the marketing it’s of show home standard. This will make your Rochester property stand out against the competition versus some very low quality photos of a messy house that you wouldn’t be proud to see.

Secondly you’ve got your preparing on the legal side of things, don’t wait until you get an offer and then sort out your solicitor, get yourself prepared. Fill out your protocol forms so as soon as you find a buyer you’re ready to go straight away.

Lots of sellers in Rochester call me when they have found a property first and what that does is it puts them under immense stress to get their property sold in the quickest possible time frame. This could also mean accepting the first offer that is put on the table which could be a lower offer.

Having the property show home ready for viewings is very important as first impressions count. If a Rochester buyer gets a bad first impression when they turn up that could be their lasting impression on the house especially if they’re viewing others as well.

Many sellers get drawn in by Rochester estate agents charging low fees and quoting very high valuation prices. Try to avoid this and get at least 3 valuations. Do your own research and homework because sometimes the fee that’s quoted and the price that’s quoted can be very different to what they seem. Make sure you do your research on estate agents in Rochester before deciding to employ them to sell your property.
