FAQs

Should I sell or buy first?

Should you sell and then buy, or should you buy and then sell? It can be tricky to time a sale and a purchase optimally. However, there are options for overcoming potential timing issues. For example, one common scenario for those downsizing is finding the ideal property before the original home is sold. In this case, you might not have the funds ready to make a quick purchase before another buyer does. In this case, bridging finance could offer the right solution.

Are all the methods of sale still available to sell my property?

If you wish to list your home for sale, you can still access sales by auction, sales by private treaty or sales by expression of interest (EOI).

The main difference is that auctions will now, and for as long as the COVID-19 restrictions are in place, only be available virtually. Your property will be listed for sale on an online real estate auction portal, where the virtual auction will take place when the day comes to sell.

What are the best ways to promote my home for sale in this environment?

We typically reccomend a mix of print and online elements to your property marketing campaign.
Digital marketing in particular  has become an important way to promote your home for sale.

We can use a number of digital assets for your campaign: virtual tours, emails, videos, floor plans, social media advertising and more. Your local real estate agent will be your best ally to guide you in creating the best marketing campaign to attract the most buyers.

How can I know how much my property is worth?

If you wish to sell your home but are unsure about its current value, the best way to get started is to book an appraisal from your local real estate agent. This will give you a precise indication of how much your property is worth.

Appraisals can now be done virtually by using video communication apps and software such as FaceTime, Zoom or WhatsApp.

Integrity & Values!

Valued Seller - Moorooka

I chose Jane because of her reputation and local knowledge. What I learned through the process was that her reputation was very well deserved. Her integrity and values came through as she managed some tricky potential purchaser interactions - I always felt she had my best interests at heart. I found this rare in an agent, and extremely welcome. Jane sold my property to a fantastic young couple which makes me feel the home into which I poured my love is in good hands.

Valued Seller - Moorooka

Brock has Excellent knowledge of the market. 

Valued Seller - Holland Park West
Excellent knowledge of the market; always kept us informed throughout the sale process; very prompt in responding to queries; very realistic in appraising the property value as evidenced by the great sale price; and helpful with solving any problems that arose. When selling or buying in the future we would not hesitate to use Brock as our agent

Nick is a Superstar!

Valued Seller - Salisbury

Nick is a superstar and an absolute pleasure to deal with! Under the most difficult of circumstances (Brisbane Floods) he never stopped working for us and achieved a fantastic result that still seems unbelievable. I happily recommend Nick to anyone looking for an honest and genuine agent.

Valued Seller - Salisbury

Jane is the most professional, compassionate, and honest agent you will meet.

Valued Seller - Moorooka

We first met Jane when we were buying and were impressed with her authentic and straightforward approach. We appreciated that she took the time to listen to what we were looking for and while we didn't end up buying our new home from her, it was a no brainer to have her sell our old home. We knew she would do her best for us and would not play any games. She is like us, with little tolerance for wasting time!

Jane knew exactly who our market was and the best way to market our property. We had over 50 groups through in our first (and ultimately only) Open House, multiple written offers that well-exceeded our expectations. During the settlement process she displayed her empathy and practicableness in suggesting early possession for the buyers while legally protecting us at the same time. This reinforced to us that not only is she incredibly professional, it's relationships that she excels at. I would not hesitate recommending Jane to sell your property - in fact, I think you'd be mad not to!

Valued Seller - Moorooka

Nick knows the suburb and the market trends very well.

Valued Seller - Salisbury
Nick is extremely professional and genuine and was honest with his thoughts and opinions. You can tell Nick really cares for the outcome of his clients. He helped us sell our property and guided us through the whole way through from start to finish. We wanted that home to be a beautiful home for the next person and Nick really helped us make that happen. He took a lot of pressure off our shoulders and got the sale over the line for us!
Valued Seller - Salisbury

Hard work and exceptional service.

Valued Seller - Kandgroo Point

We recently had the pleasure of working with Brock Ward as our real estate agent to sell our property, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From start to finish, Brock was a true professional, and his dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for us was evident throughout the entire process.Brock was always available to answer our questions, provide expert advice, and guide us through the complexities of the real estate market. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience, and his expertise was invaluable in helping us to understand the current market conditions and make informed decisions about pricing and strategy.Throughout the sale process, Brock was always honest, transparent, and communicative. He kept us informed every step of the way and was always willing to go the extra mile to ensure that everything went smoothly. He was also proactive in addressing any issues that arose and was always looking for ways to add value.In the end, Brock was able to secure a fantastic price for our property, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. If you're looking for a real estate agent who is knowledgeable, dedicated, and always puts their clients first, then we highly recommend Brock Ward. Thank you, Brock, for your hard work and exceptional service.
