THE IMPACT OF DAY ONE LIVE ONLINE
The above graph clearly indicates the importance of Day One live online. This is when an automatic email alert has been sent out to potential buyers looking for a particular property type, location and price range on a real estate website.
Numbers can also be generated by a Facebook or Instagram promotion or post.
It is important to not miss important steps in the preparation to sell - for instance home presentation and quality of photographs and marketing material.

CHOOSING AN AGENT WITH THE RIGHT ATTRIBUTES
The most important decision when selling your home is choosing the best real estate agent. With so many agents out there, this can be hard to do objectively.
However, it is the decision on which everything else relies and ultimately determines the fate of your sale. This is something we can advise you about, all at no cost.
