3 HOW TO BEST SELL YOUR HOME THIS SUMMER Before Before After After As we have moved into the warmer months, there are a number of helpful tips for you to secure a successful sale before Winter With James Burke Professional styling can make the difference between a home that really makes an excellent first impression and attracts plenty of buyers and a home that gets lost in the crowd. If your home is vacant, full styling is always a good idea. It helps people envisage how the space can best be utilised and gives a real sense of what it feels like to actually live in the home. Partial styling can give your residence that extra edge by de-cluttering spaces, drawing attention to special features and giving it a fresh, updated look that appeals to a broad range of buyers. Your agent is a great source of advice as to whether professional styling will be beneficial, and at Callagher we work with some of the best in the industry, guaranteed to be worth the investment. A mini-makeover can really give your home the lift it needs. Spend time on gardens, update window dressings, add a fresh coat of paint or change small but important details such as tapware, light-fittings and handles. These are all comparatively minor, inexpensive undertakings however when combined they can really mean the difference between your house looking dated and unloved and looking polished. This will minimise buyer objectives and make it easy for them to see value. We have plenty of affordable, trusted tradespeople and design contacts that can assist you. Finally, with the market right across Sydney starting to level out, a great sales team with strong negotiation skills will be the defining factor between a lacklustre sale and a market-leading result. Look for an agent who s prolific in the area, backs up recommendations with well-researched data and is familiar with local buyers, properties and culture. Choose someone with strong suggestions about how to make your house look its best and is proactive about helping you achieve this. Before After

5 AFTER 3O YEARS IN A PLACE YOU CALL HOME, WHO ELSE WOULD YOU WANT TO TALK TO TO SELL? Callagher Managing Director Cary Giezekamp recently sold a characterfilled single-level terrace at 198 Nelson Street, Annandale after selling it to the owners almost 30 years ago. Browns asking Cary to market their muchloved home, no doubt delighted to capitalise on the enormous growth that Annandale has experienced since they purchased. When Dean and Rie Brown first bought the property back in 1988 through an ambitious young agent, they were a young couple renting through Callagher and excited to purchase their first home. We have a rapport with Cary that has endured for 30 years, said Dean, and after all this time we enjoyed the same calibre of service and level of care that we remember when we first bought the home. Cary even helped us negotiate and navigate the purchase of our new property, Three decades on and the connection was still there, with the advising us from start to finish, which made the experience all the more rewarding. Sold at auction, the property achieved an exceptional price that the vendors were delighted with. Like Dean and Rie, the new owners are a young couple coming out of the rental market, eager to make their mark on their first home, fulfilling the same buyer needs and profile as the Browns.
