Presentation Hints and Tips First impressions are lasting From the moment the prospects arrive they should notice that the gardens and lawns are well presented. Garden rubbish should be disposed of and paths, porches and driveways kept clear and clean. Toys and garden tools should be stored away, washing should be off the washing line.
Your home on show Whether by individual inspections arranged by your agent or through ‘Open Homes’ set at predetermined times, here are some tips on how to maximize their effectiveness.
A tidy home says “welcome”. Your home should be kept neat and tidy during the period of inspections. It should not necessarily be a “show place” but appear a comfortable home in which to live. Fresh flowers or indoor plants always brighten up a home.
with sports equipment, excess furniture and general clutter. Clear out anything that’s not needed to create a feeling of spaciousness. And don’t forget your cupboards - keep them neat and not too full, to show that your home has plenty of storage space.
purchaser wants to inspect your home not pay a social call. However, should you be asked questions about the home, the neighbours or the district, answer them truthfully and directly.
Repairs can make a big difference
As a general rule it is advisable to turn off radio and television sets during inspections as they can be very distracting. Keep your pets out of the way (preferably out of the house). Let the agent and buyer talk, free of disturbances.
Make sure that all minor repairs are completed. Sticking doors and windows, loose door knobs, faulty plumbing, peeling paint or faulty flyscreen may affect your sale.
Make them comfortable A warm, comfortably heated home on cold days, particularly if you have an open fire place, adds a feeling of cosiness; on a hot day don’t forget to turn on the air conditioner or fan (or simply let the breeze flow through). You may like to set the dining table and have a coffee percolator on to give your property a homely atmosphere.
Inspections: Three’s a crowd
Letting the sun shine in Let plenty of light into your home. Nothing improves atmosphere more than brightness. On a dull day it is advisable to switch lights on prior to arrival of prospective purchasers.
Less is more! While you’re cleaning, think about each room and what furniture really needs to be in it. Rooms look smaller when they’re crowded
Avoid having too many people present during inspections. First National Real Estate agents know the buyer’s requirements and can better emphasise the features of your home most important to the purchaser.
Silence is golden Be courteous but don’t force conversation with a potential buyer. The prospective
Keep it peaceful
Some more “Don’ts” • Don’t apologise for the appearance or condition of your home (this does nothing but emphasise the faults). • Don’t discuss the details of the transaction such as price or terms (leave this to the professional, your First National Real Estate agent). • Don’t allow a prospective purchaser to inspect your home without your agent (refer them to the agent or contact the agent yourself).
Working as a team You and your agent should always work as a team. If you feel your agent has overlooked some important selling points, feel free to discuss them privately

Qualified buyers.
Our entire sales team will inspect your property. It will be “pooled” so that everyone can actively promote your property to all prospective buyers until Sold. Every salesperson will have equal incentive to sell your property, not just the person that lists it.
No “casual lookers”. All buyers will be thoroughly prequalified prior to inspecting your property. We qualify and determine each buyer’s needs, financial status, purchasing limitations and ability to make a decision minimising inconvenience to you.
Factual pricing assessments.
Exposure.
We will provide factual evidence from Valuer General Records, National Data Resource Statistics and our own local market knowledge to support our price range assessment at any time requested. We will provide you with a genuine market value assessment without guesswork, to ensure you get the very best price
In addition to your planned marketing program, we also provide a prominent corporate sign board, highly prominent and spot lighted feature window display, property flyer and internet exposure on 8 leading websites
Written progress reports.
You will be provided with the most cost effective extra marketing options available. Proof of expenditure and copies of advertisements will be provided and all unused funds refunded in full at settlement where prepaid.
You will know you are getting the best price, because you will be kept informed and in tune with the local market activity. You will receive a written progress report on each weeks marketing activity until sold, which will tell you: • Source of enquiries from advertisements, signs, referrals, window display and the Internet. • Number of enquiries & inspections plus the aggregate number of inquiries/inspections. • Details of comments & reaction from every buyer that inspects your property. • Competing properties in the region that have been sold or listed each week . • Staff comments with recommendations, suggestions & ideas. • Copies of advertisements for your records & comments.
Feedback. We will telephone first (at all times possible) to advise of intended inspections. All inspections are supervised and keys security coded for your peace of mind. You will be informed of all buyer interest or reactions, by the inspecting salesperson ASAP after each inspection.
Local agent participation We will invite all agencies with interested prospective buyers, to participate in the sale of your property on a shared commission basis and we will ensure that all such inspections are accompanied by us and all communication is managed by us on your behalf.
Effective marketing options.
Immediate database promotion. Every member of the sales team will promptly contact and promote your property to all existing buyers registered on standby and all new buyers as they are registered. Salespeople will receive daily computer database printouts matching buyers seeking properties within a price range and locality such as yours.
Neighbourhood promotion. Statistics show that many property sales occur through “word of mouth”, to people living nearby, or to friends or relatives referred by them. We will promptly make all local residents and absentee owners aware of the opportunity.
Offers in writing. All offers will be presented in writing on a standard Queensland Law Society and REIQ contract, minimising any risk of your sale not proceeding smoothly to settlement.
Working 7 days per week. Apart from mandatory holidays, we will maintain extended business hours to capitalise on all buyer inquiries 7 days per week.
