Should you sell and then buy, or should you buy and then sell? It can be tricky to time a sale and a purchase optimally. However, there are options for overcoming potential timing issues. For example, one common scenario for those downsizing is finding the ideal property before the original home is sold. In this case, you might not have the funds ready to make a quick purchase before another buyer does. In this case, bridging finance could offer the right solution.

If you wish to list your home for sale, you can still access sales by auction, sales by private treaty or sales by expression of interest (EOI).

The main difference is that auctions will now, and for as long as the COVID-19 restrictions are in place, only be available virtually. Your property will be listed for sale on an online real estate auction portal, where the virtual auction will take place when the day comes to sell.

We typically reccomend a mix of print and online elements to your property marketing campaign.
Digital marketing in particular  has become an important way to promote your home for sale.

We can use a number of digital assets for your campaign: virtual tours, emails, videos, floor plans, social media advertising and more. Your local real estate agent will be your best ally to guide you in creating the best marketing campaign to attract the most buyers.

If you wish to sell your home but are unsure about its current value, the best way to get started is to book an appraisal from your local real estate agent. This will give you a precise indication of how much your property is worth.

Appraisals can now be done virtually by using video communication apps and software such as FaceTime, Zoom or WhatsApp.
