Our tips for selling your Swindon property

Our tips for selling your Swindon property

Selling a property can be a daunting task, but with the right preparation and strategy (and the right estate agent), you can make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. 

Here are a few our top tips to help you sell your Swindon property quickly and for the best price:
  1. Get your home in top condition: Before putting your home on the market, make sure to declutter, deep clean, and make any necessary repairs or updates. This will help your home show well to potential buyers and increase its appeal.
  2. Price it right: Pricing your home correctly is crucial to selling it quickly. Research comparable home sales in your area to get an idea of what your home should be priced at. Speak to your agent, ask about the local property market and see if they can provide you with an indepth report about local house prices (At avocado Swindon we use Sprift, which generates current and relevant data about local house prices- ask us about it!)
  3. Use high-quality photos and videos: With most buyers starting their search online, it's essential to have high-quality photos and videos of your home that showcase its best features. And make sure to commnunicate with your agent if you're unhappy with how your property is being marketed, if they're good they'll be able to explain in full depth how they'll market your property. 
  4. Market your home effectively: Your agent should utilize various marketing channels to reach the widest audience possible. This includes listing your home on popular social media platforms, and all the portals. Ask us about how we use targetted social media campaigns on Instagram and Facebook.
  5. Find the right agent! Finding a good estate agent can make all the difference in selling your home. Look for an agent with experience and knowledge of the local market. 
  6. Be prepared to negotiate: Once you have an interested buyer, be prepared to negotiate on price, closing costs, and other terms of the sale. Work with your agent to come up with a strategy that will help you get the best deal.

By following these tips, you can increase your chances of selling your property quickly and for the best price possible. We wish you the best of
luck!
