Selling a property

Choosing the right agent is the key to successfully selling a property!

As you know the property market is changing constantly and you need up to date, professional and honest advice and information when selling a property. Moving is extremely stressful and there are many factors to consider first. Please take a look below for our tips on selling a property.

1. Property valuation

With quality advice from day one, we will carry out a free, no obligation valuation of your property.

We will provide supporting evidence of similar homes sold in your area.

We will discuss your requirements and find a package to suit your needs.

2. Choosing your agent

Once you have accepted an offer, we will then produce a memorandum of sale for you, your buyer and the respective solicitors.

3. Marketing

When selling a property, first impressions are incredibly important. That’s why we use professional photo and video equipment. We will prepare a detailed floor plan to make your property stand out from the rest.

De-cluttering your property will show it in the best light. Consider how the property is looking and if there are any maintenance jobs needed. Is the property looking clean and fresh with a well maintained garden?

4. Viewings

RedDoor Homes staff will accompany all viewings. Buyers often prefer to view properties with the agent to allow them to look round without feeling like they are intruding.

After each viewing we will give you honest and constructive feedback. This also helps us to adapt our strategy to give you the best chance of selling a property.

5. Offers

We are your agents, so we will look after and handle all of your offers. We will advise and then accept or decline your offers. Letting us do this for you also de-personalises the process and takes the emotion out of the transaction. You are completely in control of how much you want to offer or accept, however it does give you more opportunity to get a good deal or hold out for the price you want.

Our senior team will only ever deal with offers.

6. Sale Agreed

Once you have accepted an offer, we will then produce a memorandum of sale for you, your buyer and the respective solicitors.

7. Sales Progression

We work alongside all solicitors, mortgage advisors and surveyors to ensure that the sale of a property is held together and progresses in a timely manner. We will update you throughout the process.

8. Exchange of contracts

Exchange of contracts occurs when all the enquiries from the draft contracts and the local searches have been agreed. If the buyer needs a mortgage, it’s when the mortgage offer is received in writing and the buyer is ready to exchange contracts with the seller.

The contract is signed by the seller and the buyer, a deposit is given to the solicitor and a mutually agreed completion date is set!
