Market information The real estate market in Ballarat has changed. There are now effectively two groups of buyers. Firstly there are local buyers. Local buyers are traditionally conservative in the prices they are prepared to pay. They know the market and are generally not prepared to pay top prices. The second group are buyers from ‘out of town’. It is our experience that these are preferred buyers as they generally pay top prices, ‘out of town’ buyers are often more optimistic when deciding what to pay for a property. They are used to higher real estate values and in their opinion real estate in Ballarat is great value. At Ballarat Real Estate Pty Ltd more ‘out of town’ buyers come to our door than any other any other agent. Our prominent office is in the best location in Ballarat, which ensures we are the 1st stop for most buyers. We are the home town real estate agent with the home town name. Our web site ballaratrealestate.com.au is the obvious first stop for ‘out of town’ buyers who use the internet as their No. 1 information source. Our 7 day office hours means that we are always working hard for you, especially on Sundays when all the ‘out of town’ buyers are in Ballarat wanting to buy. On top of this we have a large network of offices with the Property Profile Group. More buyers at our door means we can bring more buyers to your door and achieve a better price for you.

The Last Word We understand that there are many real estate agents eager to have the opportunity to sell your home. Some may offer cut price commissions, others may tempt you supposedly free offers. We encourage you to step back and look at the fundamentals of what real estate is all about… getting the best price for your home. It’s about numbers; the more interest the better the price. How do you achieve this? Well… It’s as easy as ABC and BRE.

Questions & Answers What is my home worth? When people invite an agent in to appraise their home, often the number one thing on their mind is price. ‘What is my home worth? Our appraisal of your home will always rely on evidence from other comparable homes that have sold in your area. Our agency does not believe in providing you with an over inflated appraisal that may not be realised just to win your business. We would rather base our evaluation on facts and evidence. One thing you can be sure of is that with our hometown name, 1st stop web site, network of offices throughout Melbourne and Victoria and 7 days office hours, your home will be exposed to more buyers especially ‘out of town’ buyers and hence you will achieve the best price. You can feel confident in selecting Ballarat Real Estate Pty Ltd as your agent.
Will I be kept informed? Always... At Ballarat Real Estate Pty Ltd communication is our priority. We want to work as a team with you in achieving the best result for your home. After each and every inspection we will provide you with a written ‘Buyer Report’ detailing where the buyer originated from, what their comments were and whether they have any interest in the property. We will also provide you with a weekly progress update on how the campaign is travelling. With the internet now becoming the new force in real estate marketing we know you will be keen to find out what response your internet marketing is generating. Our home town real estate web site, which is the first stop for buyers allows you to have instant access to information regarding how many buyers have visited your property.

When your property is first listed with ballaratrealestate.com.au, it shows buyers it has been ‘Just Listed’ and also becomes a feature property on realestate.com.au, which keeps your property highlighted to the top of search results for longer
The ‘Quick Search’ options give your buyers easy access to find your property.
The BRE VIEW Magazine Our magazine is a widely read publication that features all properties listed with our agency. Unlike other franchised agencies we do not charge large weekly fees to have your property featured. This means your property will enjoy top exposure to ‘out of town’ buyers who often walk in our door on Saturday and Sunday’s when other agents are closed. When a buyer is looking for property in Ballarat they will come to Ballarat to search for that property. They won’t do it from a cafe in Melbourne, Sydney or Adelaide. That’s why the ‘BRE VIEW Magazine’ is so sought after. If your property is not in out ‘BRE VIEW Magazine’ buyers will never discover that it is on the market.
We also have the BRE VIEW Country House & Land, Commercial Magazine and Newsletters

Just as we will present your home at its best to the public via our unbeatable marketing and advertising you too can improve the sale ability of your home by adopting some of our easy tips.
1
First impressions are lasting ones. An inviting exterior ensures inspection of the interior. Keep the lawns trimmed, gardens neat and driveways in good repair.
2
A clean and tidy interior is important in helping sell a house. Marked walls and stained carpet can seriously reduce the saleability of a home. Present your home at its best to achieve a top selling price.

Repair that leaking spout or broken light switch. What you know to be a minor problem will seem like a major defect to a prospective buyer.

5
Mellow music in the background is delightful, but loud radios and televisions may prevent good communication between the prospect and the sales person.
Welcome prospects with the glowing warmth of a well lit home. During the day keep drapes and blinds open and in the evening hours be sure the porch and interior lighting shows off every sparkling corner of your home.
6
In winter and in Ballarat a nice warm home is most inviting and will often swing a sale.

Love me.. Love my dog – doesn’t apply when selling a house. Keep Fido out of the way and preferably out of the house.
Do not “tag” along with prospective buyer and our sales consultant. Remember; you are employing us to sell your house. We are experts so let us do the job for you. We usually interview the prospective buyer; thus we know what he/ she wants, what to say and the right time to say it. Preferably leave the house during inspections (or stay in the background).

We have further tips which we will present to you regarding how to maximize your sale result when listing your property with us.
