Useful tips for the seller
Every seller wants to realize as much money as possible when they sells their home. But a listing price that is too high often gets the seller less than a price that is at market value. If your house is not priced competitively, people looking in your price range will reject your house in favour of other, larger homes for the same price. At the same time, the people who should be looking at your house will not see it because it is priced over their heads! Overpricing usually increases time on the market.
Paint your home if it is in a state of neglect, white being the most popular colour.
Get rid of all junk, empty out cupboards and tidy up the entire house.
Clean up the interior, walls often only need washing down. Get carpets cleaned.
See that your garden is neat and attractive.
If you have a choice, sell at a time that favours sellers and in the season that shows your particular property to its best advantage ( houses with outdoor living facilities in Summer, with indoor features and fireplaces in Winter ).
Beetle Inspection - Have the certificate at hand for the potential buyer.
Electrical Inspection. Have the Electrical Certificate ready when the first purchasers arrive.
Advertise - If nobody knows that you want to sell your property, then you will not receive any potential buyers. An advertisement in the local newspaper will cost about R1000 for a year (every week). Place the URL of the property in it. People will then be able to view the home at their own time, and it is available 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Advertise regularly every week or every two weeks.
Put adds up at the local community centres, local shopping centers
Put a sign up on the outside of the property with your telephone and cell numbers.
Send out email to people that you know might be interested in the property.
Choose your Attorney
Appoint an attorney in good time, so he will be forewarned and in a the position to give good advice when needed.
It is of great assistance to the attorney to have the information in full:
The seller's home loan account number, bank and branch that holds the existing bond.
If the seller doesn't owe any money on his/her bond, then the attorney will require the safe-custody receipt to obtain the title deed.
If the property is not bonded, the attorney will require the original title deed or its whereabouts. If the original title deed is lost, the seller will have to sign an application.
The seller's and the purchaser's marital status.
Identity number and/or date of birth.
If the seller is a Closed Corporation, the attorney requires the following:
CC number
Full name/s and identity number/s of signatory for CC
If either the seller or the purchaser is a Company, the attorney requires the following:
Company number;
Full name/s of the signatory for the Company.
If either the seller of the purchaser is a Trust, the attorney requires the following:
Trust number
Full name/s of the signatory for the Trust.
If the seller is a deceased estate, the attorney requires the Letters of Executorship.
See that your house is always in a presentable condition.
Make sure that curtains are drawn to create maximum light.
Resist the temptation to talk the entire time a buyer is there, and let them discover things on their own.
If you are aware of any faults and defects in your property, you are obliged to disclose this to any prospective purchaser. Non disclosure of hidden defects could result in costly legal disputes, even after transfer has taken place.
