PUTTING THE BLISS BACK INTO selling your property
When we think about exiting or entering the property market, wellness and relaxation are usually the last emotions we’re likely to feel. For most of us, the idea of listing a property makes our blood pressure rise, but Melissa Schembri has good news: “Selling your home can be a joyous experience!” It could just be her bubbly disposition and natural penchant for positivity, but Melissa Schembri’s views on what is generally synonymous with stress and worry - buying and selling property - are incredibly upbeat. And why wouldn’t they be? In the past year alone she has sold over $90 million in property (on and off-market) and smashed multiple sales records. Currently she’s the agent holding the highest waterfront (conjunction), highest duplex and highest residential sale price in the Sunshine Coast LGA, totalling $31.25 million for three prestige properties. She has proven herself to be a master negotiator, providing win/win terms and solutions for hundreds of buyers and sellers. 12 ISSUE 101
Whilst breaking through those price ceilings again and again is wonderful for both her and her clients, she is adamant that her successful formula can be applied to any and every property on the Coast, from luxurious waterfront residences to mum and dad’s modest family home. The best part is that her formula removes all the stress, confusion and difficulty from what is typically a nerve-wracking process.
For Melissa, it’s simple. “Presenting each property at its absolute best is the key to a quick, highly profitable sale. Your home is one of your most valuable assets, and it is important to ensure that is reflected in its presentation as potential buyers walk through the door,” she says. With a carefully curated team of tradespeople and creatives, Melissa works on transforming client properties, often with very little monetary input, to obtain a maximum sale price; sometimes up to 20% above the initial appraisal.
