It is helpful to understand what steps you’ll need to take before your property officially hits the market. There are many factors to consider, all of which can greatly impact the final sales result.
To ensure you’re across everything you’ll need to think about, we take you through our 6 steps to help you sell your home.
1. Choose an agent

You can find your nearest Buxton office by heading to our Offices page where you can learn more about our extensive network of agents to contact and arrange an obligation free appraisal on your property.
2. Select a time to sell
It is important to take into consideration your own personal commitments and family’s plans when choosing a time to sell. You should also consider seasonal trends and the market conditions. If you’re unsure when the right time to sell is, our agents can assist you in selecting the perfect time to get your property on the market.
3. Make necessary repairs
Your property might need some repairs before it goes on the market. Our Buxton agents can advise you on areas to focus on and can assist you with connecting you with recommended trades to ensure your property is ready for sale.
4. Presenting your home
One of the most important steps in the process is presenting your home. We highly recommend you make sure your property is as minimalist as possible. First impressions are important, so you’ll want to ensure your property shines for the photography and open for inspections. You may want to consider a professional styling company to come and stage your home for sale which our Offices can assist with.
5. Choose a sales method
There are several ways to sell your property, such as auction, private sale, and expression of interest. In Victoria the most popular method is auction, however, your agent will guide you through the options and recommend the best method to suit your needs.
6. Have realistic expectations
We recommend you research the current market, access recent sales data, and set yourself a rough idea on the value of your property. You can then discuss with your agent their estimated selling price. Our agents will have great insights based on local trends, current supply and demand, and other influencing factors.
