FAQs

Should I sell or buy first?

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.

Are all the methods of sale still available to sell my property?

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.

What are the best ways to promote my home for sale in this environment?

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.

How can I know how much my property is worth?

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.

Communication throughout the settlement process was exceptional.

From our initial conversation on the phone, our LJ Hooker agent displayed excellent professionalism and local knowledge of the market. His appraisal was not only realistic, but right on the money. He even predicted the time it would take to sell accurately.

He gave excellent feedback throughout, and provided regular updates after inspections. In the end, he sold the property at a price which met, and even exceeded my expectations.

His communication throughout the settlement process was exceptional. I would not hesitate to recommend LJ Hooker to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area.

Thank you for your outstanding efforts, we sincerely appreciate it.

She was so bubbly and friendly.

Our agent was excellent from the moment we met her — organised with information on sales in the area, sale price and marketing strategy.

She was so bubbly and friendly, making the whole process of selling the family home so much easier. I would definitely recommend her to sell a property. P.S our dog Pablo loved her too.

Doug F. -

If I were selling again, I'd contact her without a second thought!

We chose our LJ Hooker agent on the advice of a mutual friend, and it was a good choice for us. She was accessible, knowledgeable, helpful, organised, punctual, candid, approachable and friendly.

We felt throughout that she was working to get us the best deal in a tricky market. Her advice RE: sales strategy proved to be spot on and we sold at auction for our reserve in a market that was starting to trend downwards.
