5 simple steps to selling a home online with Next Address
Posted 05 March 2016

 Step 1 Do your homework

  • Submit your home to  www.homevaluationguide.net.au for a guide to the value or Commission an Independent Property Valuation (both highly recommended). The ANZ bank also provides  a free valuation service. Real estate agents are not qualified to give a formal valuation they can only offer an appraisal based on past sales.

  • You cannot sell a home without the proper legal documents. Arrange the  Vendor Statement/Section 32 in Victoria or the required contracts in other states and territories from your Conveyancer or Legal Representative (Legal Requirement). 

  • Commission an  Independent Building Inspection (highly recommended)  This will show you any major issues you need to rectify to ensure an offer and then a sale of your home proceeds without problems.  If you prefer not to do this, then do a very thorough review of your home, so you are aware of any maintenance issues.  Remember a potential buyer will often request a building inspection during the negotiation phase.

Step 2  Prepare your home

  • Read our blog posts on  property styling,  photography tips, 

  • Read our blog post   how- do-i-show-people-my-home-if-i- dont-use-an-agent.  

  • Declutter: Remove all trinkets, personal belongings and most photos - even in the bathroom. Remember clean and simple lines, allows your property to shine, not you and your family.

  • Destock: Remove all unnecessary furniture, such as toy boxes, extra chairs, extra small tables, etc. Your home will look bigger, and this will help traffic flow for the buyer.

  • Clean and Tidy: Everywhere and everything - people do expect to look in cupboards and storage areas, after all, it may become their home.

Step 3:  Take great photos 

  • Now it time to take all those shots of your home. 

  • You have two choices. You can use a preferred local real estate photographer, or you can use your latest smartphone. Then match this with a new low-cost photography enhancing service, we recommend   www.boxbrownie.com.au.  Their excellent service also offers a 3 D floor plan. For less than $250 you will have your photos enhanced and a 3 D floor plan completed.  High-quality home video services are also available.

  • Once your photos are complete, then log in to your Next Address account and upload.  
Step 4: Complete your Next Address profile
