SELLING WITH MPM PROPERTY

ABOUT US

As a market leader across South East Queensland, MPM Property is an independent agency proud of its innovative, professional and progressive reputation. With its strategically positioned offices, the MPM Property name has been synonymous with exceptional real estate results in the area since 2005. Integrity and personalised customer service are very much at the forefront of our company’s core culture.

Our objective remains the same, to continue to focus on building and improving our strong customer service ethic and developing a ‘client for life’ relationship with all our past, current and future clients.

WHY CHOOSE US

With most of our staff living and working locally, we consider ourselves a group of enthusiastic locals who are heavily involved in the immediate community. This gives us tremendous insight into the Gold Coast market: the previous trends, current movements and future forecasts. And, it is quite possible we have helped a number of people in your street sell their home or find a tenant for their investment property. Servicing an extensive rent roll of over 1700 managements we have an incredible client base and loyal long-term repeat customers across all elements of Real Estate. We hope we can be of assistance to you also.

OUR BUYER DATABASE

RESULTS

Telling buyers about your home before it hits the market can often mean a quicker sale at a higher price. At MPM Property we let our premium registered buyers and existing clients know about your property the moment it gets listed for sale. We use the latest in cutting-edge real estate technology to notify our extensive database via SMS, email, telephone and mail out.

MPM Property will work with you to set your desired selling price. Then, with a combination of marketing and expert negotiating skills, we will appeal to a wide range of buyers and our client database to help you get your asking price. We ensure each client is treated with great care throughout this entire process.

Some might say that we are high-tech and high-touch! If there’s one thing we know about buyers, it’s that they will act faster and pay more on the advice of an agent they know and respect. OUR NETWORK MPM Property has a broad regional coverage across the South East Coast of Queensland with offices strategically located between Brisbane and the Gold Coast. We are continuously looking at ways to expand and have plans to continue our market expansion with new office locations. Our team work closely together in a unique way where all agents and offices use the one technology platform. This platform allows for all of our clients—past and present—to remain in close contact with our entire agency.

SELLING STRATEGY Maximising the price of any home is always dependent on creating the ideal selling environment. Our agents ensure your home is in pristine condition before selling so a highly competitive environment is created when it comes time for prospective buyers to place their offers. We pride ourselves in giving clients premium advice and service regarding the best way to do this.

PRESENTATION

The difference between presenting a property correctly or incorrectly can sometimes affect the sale price by up to 10%. For this reason, we recommend you consider the presentation of your home very carefully. Part of this process is working with you to make sure your home is presented to its best advantage and has the maximum appeal for buyers. Experience tells us that sprucing your home is well worth the effort to and usually has a positive impact on the price. A few simple techniques can make all the difference in securing a sale and by making sure your house is presented in the best possible light will have a dramatic impact on the selling price. The most important thing to remember is first impressions count! Once on the market, you need to disassociate yourself and remove any emotional connection to the house... don’t look backwards, look to the future! Time is of the essence in these situations and the presentation process should begin at the exact time you decide to sell your house. The MPM Property team can ensure simple, cost effective methods to prepare your house for sale without the need for any major maintenance.

PRESENTATION

PRICE, PRESENTATION AND MARKETING ARE THE THREE KEY COMPONENTS TO GET RIGHT WHEN IT COMES TO CREATING THE IDEAL SELLING ENVIRONMENT. WHEN ALL THREE COMPONENTS COME TOGETHER, THIS CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GOOD OUTCOME AND A GREAT OUTCOME.

PRESENTATION

KEY PRESENTATION FACTORS

INSIDE THE PROPERTY

OUTSIDE THE HOUSE

• • • • • • • •

• • • • • • •

Remove clutter - storage boxes are a must! Invest in a new doormat A complete spring clean - scrub walls, skirting boards, floors, tiles, windows, light switches and fixtures Freshen exterior paint Check doors, windows, awnings and blinds all open and shut properly Use your best linen on the beds and best towels in the bathroom Ensure all light globes are in working order Have all carpets, lounges and curtains professionally cleaned

Wash down the external walls and clean gutters Sweep driveway and paths Clean windows and entrance door Tidy garage Keep bins out of site Ensure pool, ponds and water features are well cleaned and properly functioning Clean garden umbrellas and outdoor settings

PRESENTATION

THE GARDEN

INSPECTION DAY

• • • • • • • •

• • • • • • •

Keep the lawn cut and edges trimmed Remove all weeds in the garden and turn over the soil Trim back trees and any overhanging plants Plant new flowers to add colour to the garden (try to match flowers to colour theme of house) Pot plants or tubs strategically placed around the house (on the veranda or patio) can look amazing and annuals are always a good idea Repair any damaged fences Remove oil spills from the driveway Remove any garden clippings and rubbish

Keep all curtains and bedroom doors open, maximizing natural light Give each room a quick tidy, empty bins and vacuum or sweep where necessary Utilise lamps and flowers to create a homely, welcoming atmosphere Manage the temperature of the rooms if possible cool in summer, warm in winter Remove your valuables from the house Keep pets out of the house and, if possible, out of the garden Leave the property during the inspection

GENERAL TIPS

KEEP IT SIMPLE

CONSIDERING MAJOR CHANGES?

The main idea is to maximise the appeal of the house without spending a fortune. The whole process shouldn’t cost you the earth and, with the help of those close to you such as family and friends, you should have the house presentable in a relatively short period of time.

Renovations can add significant value to a property but you can run the risk of overcapitalising. Interestingly enough many buyers are also looking for a ‘renovators delight’ style home so in some cases it is better off saving your money. Always ensure you speak to our agents before undertaking any major changes!

STYLING YOUR HOME HAVE FUN Hiring a stylist can make all the difference. If you feel the interior of your home is looking a little tired and out-dated, an experienced stylist can temporarily replace your furniture and give the property a complete makeover for an agreed fee.

GARDEN DELIGHTS If your garden is beginning to look like a jungle, hire a gardener to get it under control. The gardener will also know which plants and flowers will add to the overall appeal of the house.

Most importantly, try to enjoy the selling process. Avoid stress by being well prepared and use the people around you to help carry the workload.

GENERAL TIPS

MARKETING

We know how to attract the buyer’s attention in a crowded marketplace. Our plans aren’t designed to find you just a buyer they are designed to attract every buyer possible for your property. Each campaign is customised specifically to your needs and can be complemented by quality creative services such as signage, photography, aerial images, 3D walk-throughs, floor plans, property brochures, guides, and copy writing that maximise buyer interest. We will advise an individual range of recommendation of marketing solutions we believe to be the most effective to achieve your desired outcomes for the sale of your home.

FLOOR PLAN

The signboard is designed for maximum exposure with key information, with the property’s main selling benefits, and an interior colour photograph allowing the sign to stand out.

A leading property photographer will shoot an expansive selection of excellent quality digital photographs. These are used for all colour advertising and prints for distribution and to support editorial coverage in magazines and newspapers

High quality double-sided brochures are produced to showcase your property with stunning high-resolution images and professionally written text to communicate the outstanding features and the opportunity your property presents.

This computer-generated reproduction allows prospective buyers to accurately recall your property layout after an inspection. The plan will include room dimensions and will also be loaded onto your property listing on the MPM Property website and other websites.

SOCIAL MEDIA

As well as our own website mpmproperty. com.au, domain.com.au, and realestate.com.au, we can offer feature property placement which can place your property at the head of search results. Anyone searching for properties in your suburb won’t miss yours. Feature property placement attracts more attention with an enhanced boarder, bright colours, and larger images. Feature properties appear before standard listings.

With everyone using smart phones and tablets we ensure that all properties are available on all platforms meaning prospective buyers can access mpmproperty.com.au, realestate.com.au and domain.com.au at any time, anywhere.

An e-Brochure is an email of your property including the description, open and auction times and photographs. Your eBrochure is sent via email to people on the realestate.com.au database whose ‘search’ criteria match the details of your property. eBrochures have been shown to double the number of times your property is viewed.

Keeping in touch with the community is important to us, and therefore we maintain a strong and active social media presence on Facebook with over 4500 followers. On here, we like to promote links to our listed properties, as well as content we find interesting, to our wide client database and likes. We also promote your property on Instagram for some extra content and exposure.

We use Australia’s leading real-estate software platform that manages all of our listings and clients, keeping us up to date on reminders and appointments to help keep us on target in the most simple and time efficient way possible.
