Our 12-Step Plan to Selling Success


  1. The Price - Price to entice and get more people through the door. Always use an offers over strategy.
  2. Get Sale Ready - Complete all information upfront. Better informed buyers are more likely to be bold in putting forward their best offer
  3. Marketing Material - You'll never get a second chance to make a great first impression, your marketing needs to be on point.
  4. Launch Day - Launch to social media and our Heads Up Property Alerts Service, don't rely on the portals.
  5. Proactive Promotion - Social media is HUGE in property marketing, even if buyers are registered with the portals, those that are motivated will want to find what else is out there.
  6. Monitor & Improve - Follow an anti stagnation strategy to keep the listing fresh and monitor online activity.
  7. Premium Promotion - Enquiries will be dealt with promptly, selling a house is not a 9 - 5 role.
  8. Viewing Strategy - Viewing will be blocked together, once or twice per week, always accompanied by an agent. This creates a sense of urgency and competition between buyers.
  9. The Feedback - Your home isn't for everyone, but their feedback is still important.
  10. The Review - Things will change, so will your competition, review activity and agree a plan going forward.
  11. Negotiation and Offers - The most crucial part of the selling process. Follow a negotiation strategy.
  12. Secure Your Sale - Using a reservation agreement reduces your chance of fall through by 75%
