We will provide the service of an agent to you - giving comparable sales, market analysis, unbiased advice, helping you choose marketing options, negotiating on your behalf with potential customers, preparing paperwork and liasing with inspectors, valuers and solicitors until settlement. After listing with us you'll only pay $330 (inc GST) if and when we sell your property and it settles successfully. If, however, you would like us to come to your property and do as many property inspections and open houses as you may desire in order to sell your property, still for much less than the standard REIQ commission, please check out our full service deals. The deal below is for people who will show their own homes. Folks, the real estate industry is changing. It has to. Recent surveys have shown that 90% of all property buyers in Australia use the internet to look for property. And which site on the internet do you think most of them use? In the State of Queensland, its clear. Its realestate.com.au. Recent audits show they get in excess of 900,000 property searches monthly for Queensland alone. With Happening Real Estate, you can get on all the really important property portals - realestate.com.au, domain.com.au, homehound.com.au and others. I have never listed a property on realestate.com.au without at least HUNDREDS of people individually looking at the advertisement. And if you are happy to take the best realistic current market price from a qualified buyer for your property, in most cases you will also be able to sell your property too. Happening Real Estate is offering real estate agency services to people who feel comfortable in showing their own property. We offer you the superior marketing power that ONLY A LICENSED REAL ESTATE AGENT can offer, but we don't charge high commissions like so many. A lot of agents will urge you to spend thousands on newspaper advertising - but how many would spend THEIR OWN money on this to do the job of selling your property (and promoting their agency in the process)? There are a few - and the ones I know of ALSO charge the MAXIMUM allowable commission on your sale as well. Neil Jenman in his book, "Don't Sign Anything", says "One of the major reasons for advertising is to promote agents, not to sell homes". But as far as I know, all Jenman agents today, while they don't advertise homes in newspapers, they certainly put their properties on important sites like realestate.com.au If newspaper advertising alone could sell your property for a good price, why use an agent? We think there are times to use newspaper ads, and we certainly can help you do this as a service where required, but be sure that THE INTERNET as well as SIGNS are the primary ways people sell perhaps 80-90% of property TODAY. Newspaper ads might bring in 5-10% of the sales today. They will cost you a lot of money one way or the other. The problem for private sellers is that they are NOT allowed to use the realestate.com.au portal to sell their property. Private sellers can certainly use certain websites especially created for this purpose, but the reach is not so great. For this reason, many elect after some time to go with agents who charge hefty commissions, because they want their property SOLD. So many times the agent does not need to do too much but take the calls, show the house and sign the papers! Its a very well paid service at times. Maybe TOO well paid. We offer the essential services of a real estate agent without charging the hefty commissions. We market for you online, we negotiate, we liase, we arrange inspections and we help qualify the customers for you. Believe me, when you get the settlement statement from your conveyancer after you sell your property, you will be glad if you are not paying 2.5% + $450 plus GST in fees, if you go with us! On the other hand, if you go with a traditional agent who sells your property, it WILL BE THERE and you will feel it (if you look at the settlement statement). Here are some important things that are involved in selling property. 1. Present your property as best as you can. If you don't do the cosmetic renovations needed on your property, your buyer is the one who will profit from it. Keep your house clean, do some basic landscaping if need be, paint the walls if need be, and fix little problems. The buyer should feel that he doesn't have to do much to enjoy your property. Then he will pay more when he buys. 2. Market your property at the correct price. If you place the price too high, buyers will not even enquire. After some weeks your property will go "stale" and people will wonder what is wrong with it. So get a realistic market appraisal. Look at recent property price sales in the area. Look at what is currently for sale in your area on leading real estate portals. Be really honest. If you were a buyer who wanted your kind of property, what would you be willing to pay? Sometimes it is worth paying for the services of a registered valuer especially where comparable properties are hard to find. But in a fast moving market, I think a real estate agent could give you a better idea, because valuers have to be conservative. 3. Market your property on the best portal - realestate.com.au. Here is where we can help you. If you list your property with us, we will charge you just $484 to list your property on realestate.com.au and domain.com.au UNTIL SOLD. There will be a mere $330 commission payable only on successful settlement if we sell it for you. Included in this fee, we will provide you with an attractive sign, and we will also upgrade your property to "Featured Property" status for the first 30 days as well. Of course we will show your property on our happeningrealestate.com.au site, but make sure you get it on realestate.com.au for best results. With this domain.com.au your property will also be mailed out to all their database of people looking for property in that area. What a great deal! We do reserve the right to increase these fees at any time - and we are being urged by some to do so - so if you want to sell and reduce your debt burden, NOW is a great chance to get started at a low cost. The form 22a listing document will explicitly state that there is only a $330 commission payable upon settlement. This can save you MANY THOUSANDS of dollars. We will take calls and enquiries, arrange inspections, and we will help you through the entire process. Please note that this offer is for property owners in Queensland only. We may be offering some similar but different offers through associates in other States in the near future. Call to register your interest! If you are thinking of selling, why not get started today? Give us a call on 1300 725 853 or 0434-288723 and you could have your property up on all the important real estate portals even TODAY!
