Real Estate Meetings

We have a meeting on Saturday morning with a Real Estate lady from The Joneses. She is going to come over and explain what they can do for us and why we should use their company.

Yesterday we received a package from them with the usual gumph in it, brochure, statements from past clients etc and also a list of questions they would like us to answer before the meeting.

The questions are all about our house, because they say that no one knows our house like we do, so by answering these questions it will assist them in assisting us in selling the house.
So the next time you are thinking of selling your house, try asking yourself the following questions.......

  • How long have you lived in your home?
  • What are the main reasons you brought it?
  • What renovations have you done since you brought it?
  • Tell us what you most love about living in this home. Think about the things that really matter - eg: the location, the neighbours, the indoor/outdoor living...
  • What about the garden - are there special plants that flower at particular times of the year, or trees that fruit?
  • Do you use the house differently in the summer than winter?
  • What rooms get the sun? What time of day?
  • What else? Think about every room and what (if anything) makes it special?
  • Where do you see future potential in the home that could be developed?
  • What are some of the local amenities? eg: nearset bus stop, supermarket, dairy, cafe, post office, bank etc?
  • What would yu like to ensure prospective buyers are made aware of?
  • Do you have any deadlines that you are working to?
  • What would you like us to say to purchasers as to why you are selling you house?

It definitely made us stop and think for 5 minutes.

Only 66 days until Steve starts at Hamilton
