Preparing Your Home For Sale
INSIDE PRESENTATION
Ensure your house is clean and tidy
Think about hiring furniture or employing the talents of an interior
designer. Your agent should be able to help you here.
Make sure all doors work well (handles turn and lock smoothly)
Open curtains to allow as much light in as possible
Rub lavender oil into door-jambs to provide a soothing clean smell.
OUTSIDE PRESENTATION
Replace all cracked and broken glass
Make sure all gates work well
Remove leaves and sticks from gutter
Replace broken fences or missing palings
Mow the lawns and mulch where necessary
If you are unable to do these things yourself, we are more than happy to recommend a handyman for you.
INSPECTIONS / OPEN HOMES
Try to leave the the house when buyers inspect .
Make sure the house is a comfortable temperature
Brew some coffee before each inspection (freshly ground is best).
Ensure your agent knows what makes you house a home - explain why it
has that special „feel‟ for you, point out its highlights. This will help thephotographer create advertising materials that really capture the feeling of the home.

Real Estate jargon explained
ContractThis is the document that contains the details of your house and the conditions of the sale. You can have your solicitor draw up a contract with all the terms and conditions that are favourable for you, or The Hutchinson-Moore Team will provide you with a standard REIQ contract.
Cooling-Off PeriodOnce you‟ve accepted an offer, a five (5) day cooling-off period begins. This allows the buyer to seek legal independent advice in regards to your property. However, if you sell by auction the cooling-off period does not apply.
Initial depositBuyers will usually put down an initial deposit of a figure most likely between $1,000 and $5,000. A further deposit is then usually paid on the date of finance approval. This deposit is usually more substantial and is usually a figure between 5% and 10% of the total purchase price.
Exchange of ContractsOnce the initial deposit is taken the contract will be stake held and then forwarded to solicitors. You will also receive a copy of the contract within a few days of the initial signing period.
Settlement DayThe buyer pays the balance of the purchase price and picks up the keys. Normally your bank and solicitor will take their fees out of the settlement proceeds and send you a cheque for the remaining monies. Your estate agent will probably take their commission from the deposit monies and send you the balance via cheque or bank transfer.
