When it comes to selling your property, especially in a competitive market like North London, it’s easy to fall into some common traps.
At Mi Homes, we are committed to helping our clients avoid these pitfalls to achieve the best possible result. Here’s what to look out for:
Overpricing
It’s completely natural to want the highest possible price for your home.
However, overpricing is one of the most frequent and costly mistakes sellers often make.
Properties that are priced attractively and realistically from the outset tend to generate more interest, more viewings, and more offers, often resulting in a higher final sale price than those priced too ambitiously.
It’s all about creating a competitive environment to drive price - This is a FACT!
If a property appears as good value, more buyers will want to view it, increasing the chances of multiple offers. That competition (of buyers) could drive the price above market value.
Think of the principles utilised via a property auction... guide prices are set attractively to entice buyers to the auction room. More buyers bring more competition, leading to a higher price achieved.
Believing Homes Sell Themselves
A lot of effort and knowledge goes into the property sales process. Properties do not just sell themselves.
Behind every successful sale is a strategy, tailored marketing, and proactive agent involvement.
Here is a list of a few of the basics involved:
- Valuation at the correct level to achieve maximum interest.
- Professional photography to attract maximum viewings.
- Measured descriptions in a way to give potential buyers just enough info, but not too much… to encourage them to step foot through your front door.
- Promotion in the right places and platforms to gain the most exposure.
- Continuous analysis and review of marketing and adaptations put in place where needed to avoid stagnation.
- Organisation of viewings in a way which creates a sense of competition and urgency.
