When you decide to sell your property, have you ever wondered what actually happens once you sign the paperwork with an agent?

Well, there's a bit more to it than simply putting a sign out the front and advertising it online.

First, we get everything organised. That includes the paperwork, property details, marketing strategy and deciding how we're going to present your property to the market.

Then comes the photography, advertising and getting your property online so buyers can start seeing what's available.

Once the listing goes live, things start to happen. Buyers make enquiries, request inspections and, hopefully, start arranging times to come and have a look.

From there, it's about managing those enquiries, showing buyers through the property, following up and keeping you informed about what's happening.

And that's an important part of the process. You should never be left wondering whether anyone is interested or what's happening with your sale.

Selling a property involves quite a few moving parts, and a good agent should be managing those details from the day you list right through to finding the right buyer.

Because putting a property on the market is just the beginning. There's a lot of work that happens behind the scenes.

Here's a tip that can save you some trouble down the track: take photos of your property every now and then.

It might sound a bit odd, but having photos of your home, gardens and improvements can be surprisingly useful.

They can help you keep track of changes over the years, provide a record for insurance purposes and remind you what your property looked like before and after major work.

You don't need to make a big project of it. Just take a few photos occasionally and keep them somewhere safe.

Years from now, you might be glad you did.

One thing I'd suggest if you're thinking about selling your property is to start getting your paperwork organised early.

You'd be surprised how often buyers ask questions about things like renovations, building approvals, septic systems, sheds, fencing or other improvements.

And sometimes finding that information at the last minute can be a real headache.

So have a folder where you keep your building documents, receipts, warranties and any other information about your property.

It doesn't have to be complicated. Just keep everything together so when the time comes, you're not scrambling around trying to find it.

A little bit of preparation now can make things much easier when you decide to sell.

Why the Highest Appraisal Isn't Always the Best
If you’re talking to agents about selling, you might get different opinions about what your home is worth.
And naturally, the highest figure can sound pretty attractive.
But I’d be careful about choosing an agent simply because they tell you the highest number.
The important question is: how did they arrive at that figure?
What comparable sales are they using? What are buyers actually paying? And does that price make sense when your property goes up against the competition?
A high appraisal might sound good, but if the property is priced too high and buyers don’t agree, you can end up chasing the market.
So when you’re getting an appraisal, don’t just ask, “What can I get?”
Ask, “Show me how you got there.”

What Comparable Sales Actually Tell You
When you’re trying to work out what your property is worth, comparable sales are one of the most important things to look at.
But you can’t just find one property that sold for a certain price and say, “Mine must be worth the same.”
You need to look at properties that are actually comparable.
Similar location, similar land, similar size, similar condition and similar features.
Then look at when they sold and what was happening in the market at the time.
The more relevant sales you can look at, the clearer the picture becomes.
And sometimes the comparable sales might tell you something you didn’t expect.
That’s why pricing should be based on evidence, not just what you’d like your property to be worth.

Why Online Property Estimates Can Be Wrong
Have you ever looked up your home online and seen what it supposedly might be worth?
They can be interesting, but I wouldn’t rely on an online estimate to decide what your property should sell for.
The reason is simple.
A computer can look at previous sales and property data, but it doesn’t walk through your home.
It doesn’t see the renovation you’ve done, the condition of the property, the quality of the presentation or some of the things that make your property different from the one next door.
Online estimates can be a useful starting point.
But when you’re actually selling, you need to look at the property, the recent comparable sales and the current buyers in your market.
That’s a much better way to work out where your property sits.

How Much Is Your Home Really Worth?
One of the first questions most homeowners ask is, “How much is my home worth?”
And the honest answer is, it’s not simply what you think it’s worth or what your neighbour sold for.
Your property is worth what buyers are prepared to pay for it in the current market.
That means looking at recent comparable sales, the condition of your home, the location, the features and what else buyers have to choose from.
Online estimates can give you a starting point, but they don’t know your property the way someone who has actually inspected it does.
Before you decide on a price, make sure you understand where that figure has come from.
Because getting the price right from the start matters.

Is Your Home Actually Ready to Sell?
Before you put your home on the market, ask yourself one question: is it actually ready to sell?
I don’t mean is it perfect. It doesn’t have to be.
But have you dealt with the obvious repairs? Is it clean and tidy? Are the gardens looking good? Have you removed some of the clutter?
And just as importantly, is the property priced and presented in a way that makes sense for the current market?
It’s easy to get caught up in getting the property online as quickly as possible.
But taking a little extra time to get it right before you launch can make a big difference.
Because once your property is on the market, you want buyers seeing it at its best.

16/10/2026

The week before your property goes online is more important than you might think.

This is when you want to make sure everything is ready before buyers start seeing your property online.

Have the cleaning finished, the gardens tidied and those little jobs done that you’ve been putting off.

Make sure the house is decluttered and presented properly, because your photos are going to be one of the first things buyers see.

It’s also a good time to make sure the marketing is right — the photos, the description and the way the property is being presented to the market.

You don’t want to be making those decisions after the property has already gone live.

The aim is simple: when buyers see your property for the first time, you want everything to be ready.

Because you only get one chance to make that first impression.
