Selling Your Home

June 2, 2025

Selling your home isn’t just about sticking up a “For Sale” sign and hoping for the best. It’s about strategy, timing, and knowing what truly makes buyers say, “This is the one!” At RE Realty, we’re all about making the selling journey smooth, smart, and surprisingly fun.

Here are the essential things you need to know to sell your home with confidence—and maybe even enjoy the ride!

1. 📸 Presentation is EVERYTHING

Let’s be honest—buyers shop with their eyes first. That first online photo? It’s your home’s first impression, and it better be a good one.

  • Declutter every room (yes, even the one you keep shutting the door on).
  • Style it like you’re about to host a lifestyle TV show.
  • Consider professional photography—it’s worth every cent.

Pro Tip: Fresh flowers, natural light, and neutral tones go a long way.

2. 💸 Price It Right (Not Just High)

Yes, we all love the idea of smashing a suburb record, but overpricing can leave your home sitting on the market while buyers scroll right past it.

  • We’ll help you do a Comparative Market Analysis to find the sweet spot.
  • A well-priced home creates buzz and competition—often leading to a better result.
  • Properties that stay on the market too long often sell for less.

Pro Tip: Trust your local agent. (Hint: That’s us.)

3. 🚪 Open Homes Should Feel Like an Experience

An open home isn’t just a tour; it’s a vibe. Buyers want to feel the lifestyle, not just see the layout.

  • Air out the house and use fresh, subtle scents.
  • Create light, space, and a welcoming atmosphere.
  • Remove personal items so buyers can picture their future here.

Pro Tip: A fresh coffee brew or some background music doesn’t hurt either.

4. 📑 Get Your Paperwork Ducks in a Row

Nothing slows down a sale like missing paperwork. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Contract of Sale
  • Vendor disclosure statements
  • Building and pest reports (optional but powerful)

Pro Tip: Don’t stress—we’ll guide you through every document and deadline.

5. 🤝 Choose the Right Agent

This one’s big. A good real estate agent doesn’t just list your home—they market, negotiate, strategise, and support.

At RE Realty, we bring:

  • Local knowledge
  • Smart marketing plans
  • Open communication
  • An absolute obsession with great results

We’re not just agents. We’re your selling sidekicks.

Selling your home is a big move (literally and emotionally). But with the right advice, preparation, and team in your corner, it can be a positive, profitable experience. Whether it’s your first sale or your fifth, RE Realty is here to help you sell smart—and maybe even have a few laughs along the way.
