How can selling your property privately go wrong?
What experience does ReDIY have to assist Private Sellers?

ReDIY has been developed by them, to assist Private Sellers and Landlords so that they can sell/rent their properties themselves, but in a highly professional manner, with all of the tools that Real Estate Agencies have at their disposal.
Preparing the property for sale.
Firstly, the property needs to be prepared, ready for sale. That will mean gardening, minor maintenance issues and perhaps some painting. Stand across the road from your property and look at it. Does it give a good first impression. Take off the rose coloured glasses and be impartial. If you are selling your family home, you will have many good memories, which is normal, but do not it cloud your judgement. Small, low cost things can be done, such as mowing, edging, weeding, planting some welcoming plants, removal of garden waste,gurney the driveway and paths. As you then walk through the property, look for any minor repairs that you could attend to. Buyers have a habit of counting up all the little maintenance things, putting an inflated price on the cost to remedy. They are only trying to justify why they think the price is too high. The best thing for you to do is to eliminate these.
What State Legislation does a Private seller have to be aware of?
Each state has different Legislation and different conveyancing. There are many internet sites available with all the necessary information. Some things to research are Pool Fencing and compliance, Smoke Alarms, Electrical Safety Switches, Building and Pest Reports, Easements and Council approvals.
What should go in the text of advertisements on the major Real estate sites?
Next, you will need to write your advertising text and photograph the property. Visit the major Real Estate Sites and have a look at similar properties. This will assist you in writing the text. Have a heading that will catch attention and highlight the best feature of the home. Consider the reasons that the property appealed to you when you purchased it. These same reasons could very well appeal to the buyer. If the property is located in a desirable location, in a catchment for a popular school, close to transport etc, this should be covered in your text. Fixtures,fittings and inclusions such as heating, air conditioning, ceiling fans, dishwasher, entertaining areas should also be mentioned. If you have a good quality camera, you can take your own photos. There is also the option to have professional photos taken. Good quality photos will capture the attention which will encourage the buyer to have a closer look at your advertisement
