Back to basics . Tips for buying and selling real estate

 

Deciding whether to sell your existing home before buying a new one or buying now and selling later can depend on your individual circumstances, financial situation, and the current state of the real estate market. 

Here are some tips and tricks to look out for if you are thinking of buying or selling:

Do your research

Before buying or selling any property, research the market thoroughly. Look at recent sales data, median prices, and current trends in the local property market.

Understand the selling process

If you plan to sell your property, understand the selling process and what fees and costs are involved. Your real estate agent will help you with the process.

Set a realistic budget

Determine your budget before you start looking for a new property. It is important to be realistic about what you can afford and avoid overstretching yourself financially.

Consider the location

Look for properties in areas that have good infrastructure, public transport, and access to amenities like schools, shops, and hospitals.

Pre-approval

Secure pre-approval from your lender before you start your property search. This can help you determine your budget and give you an advantage when making an offer.

Be patient

The real estate market can be competitive, and it may take time to find the right property or to sell your existing home. Be patient and take your time to make informed decisions.

Consider a buyer’s agent

A buyer’s agent can help you find the right property at the right price, negotiate with sellers, and guide you through the buying process.

Market cycles

The real estate market can be cyclical, with periods of growth and decline. Be aware of these cycles and how they can affect property values and sales.

Ben, Peter and Jade. You guys are the most awesome Real Estate Agents we have ever met. We went to hundreds of open homes and met many agents throughout our search for a home, yet we would come back to you straight away for our next house. Thank you!

Ben and the team did an amazing job selling our house. They know the market so well and gave us the best advice throughout the whole process. We have used them before and so glad we choose to use them again. Highly recommended.

Ben worked exceptionally hard on our behalf to get the sale over the line. Ours was not straightforward by any means, and Ben navigated through the many twists and turns to ensure a very satisfactory outcome for us. We highly recommend Ben. 🙂

This is the second time we have sold with Ben and both times the result has been outstanding. On a personal level we click and its clear he actually cares about both the sellers and the buyers he is working with. The result we achieved and the sheer quantity of offers received in a dead market shows what an outstanding salesman and marketer Ben (and is his team) is.
