Determining your home's value is key to setting a competitive price. MMJ Real Estate offers market appraisals where agents assess your property based on its location, size, and recent local sales. While appraisals provide a price guide, a formal valuation by a certified valuer is more detailed and may be required for official purposes like securing a loan
The spring season is often considered ideal, with warmer weather and blooming gardens making properties more attractive. However, the best time to sell can also depend on the local market conditions in your area, which your MMJ agent can help you evaluate
Costs include agent commissions, legal fees for preparing the contract of sale, and marketing expenses. MMJ agents will outline all costs in the Agency Agreement, which covers commissions, advertising, and the sales process.
Pricing competitively and marketing effectively are the top strategies for a quick sale. MMJ recommends setting a realistic price and using a comprehensive marketing plan that includes online ads, open homes, and professional photography
Both methods have their pros and cons. Auctions can generate competitive bidding in a hot market, while private sales allow for more negotiation and privacy. MMJ agents can advise you on which method suits your property and market conditions
Pricing too high may deter buyers, while pricing too low could leave money on the table. An MMJ market appraisal will help you gauge the right price based on market demand, recent sales, and property features
The timeframe for selling a home depends on the market, location, and demand. On average, homes in Australia take 30 to 90 days to sell, but factors like pricing and presentation can significantly affect this. MMJ agents can provide a more accurate estimate based on current market conditions and comparable sales
Yes, it’s possible to sell your home privately, but MMJ Real Estate advises that while it may save on commission, you risk not achieving the best price. Without an agent, sellers often miss out on proper marketing, access to buyers, and negotiation expertise, which can lead to a lower final sale price
