What my clients have to say
about me and my

EXCEEDED OUR PRICE EXPECTATION
“We have experienced these qualities with Sandra whilst she was
marketing and selling our property. Sandra is professional in all
she does. Has excellent work ethics, great communication and
negotiating skills. Honest and reliable. Sandra exceeded our price
expectation of selling our property through her negotiating skills.
Future clients can experience the same outcome for their property
when selling or buying with Sandra.”
Reg & Denise Taylor - 17 Tall Trees Way, Little Mountain
LOVE OUR HOME SANDRA
“We just moved into our home 9 The Parkway Aroona on Friday. We
are very happy. Sandra was always on time and happy to greet us
at the front of the property and gave us the time we needed to look
through the property thoroughly. She came to our former residence
with the Contract to sign and went through it with us. She always
made herself available to discuss any matters and put our minds at
ease. She always made positive points about the house and took the
time to ask our requirements ie our two children. Given that the house
was not presented in a clean or tidy fashion, we believe that Sandra
worked on the key features of the home, being a beautiful Street, park
close proximity for the kids and an architectural designed home. Now
with a bit of TLC we have our dream forever home. Sandra is very
professional and easy going, and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending
her in the future.”
Sacha & Steve Park - 9 The Parkway, Aroona

ENTHUSIASTIC AND FUN AGENT
“Sandra is a lovely lady with a very fun and bubbly personality. Under
extreme time constraints due to the purchase of another property, she
was very enthusiastic and worked hard to achieve the sale price we
received within the restricted timeframe. Thank you Sandra“.
Rhys & Chloe Kingsford - 24 Kalana Road, Aroona

MARKETING
We know how to attract the buyer’s attention in a crowded marketplace. Our plans aren’t
designed to find you just a buyer – they are designed to attract every buyer possible for your
property.
Each campaign is customised specifically to your needs and is complemented by quality
creative services such as signage, photography, floor plan, property brochures, guides and
copywriting in order to maximise buyer interest.
We have compiled a list of marketing solutions we believe to be the most effective combination
of print media, websites, signboards, database marketing, and brochures to showcase your
property to attract the maximum number of genuine buyers.
If you wish to tailor a package further, we will happily discuss options with you.

SIGNBOARD
The signboard is designed for
maximum exposure with key
information, with the property’s
main selling benefits and a colour
photograph to assist in making the
sign stand out.
PHOTOGRAPHY
Gone are the days where the
buyers view houses simply at
inspections.
If your home isn’t professionally
photographed, many potential
buyers will overlook the online
listing. Don’t let that happen to
your property, let us arrange top
quality photographs to maximise
sale opportunities.
PROPERTY
BROCHURES
High quality, 4 page A4 full
colour booklets are produced
to showcase your property with
stunning high resolution images
and professionally written text
to communicate the outstanding
features and the opportunities
your property presents.
FLOOR PLAN
This computer-generated
reproduction allows
prospective buyers to
accurately recall your
property layout after an
inspection. The plan will
include room dimensions
and will also be loaded
onto your property listing
on websites.

3D TOUR OF YOUR HOME
Introducing MATTERPORT TECHNOLOGY – 3D visual walk through your home for every buyer
Matterport is a new 3D camera that is designed to scan the interior of homes. It collects accurate visual
and spatial data to map entire areas, which allows you to visually walk through the home yourself.
You can look up and down, left and right, move forward, backward, and see the home as if you were
physically doing the inspection. The technology is actually pretty incredible and really helps buyers
viewing the home in a way they haven’t really been able to experience before.
It is especially of importance for interstate buyers and overseas buyers.

DETERMINE THE RIGHT PRICE TO MAKE YOUR HOME
A “HOT PROPERTY”
This is the most critical step. We’ll review market demand, nearby competition, recent
sales, and many other variables than can affect your home’s value. You will get a detailed
look at what’s going on in your local home sales market and our input on the best pricing
strategy to get you the most money in the shortest possible time. You need an expert in
the real estate market. You need the kind of experienced reliable professional service we
can offer along with our team.
MAKE SIMPLE, LOW COST CHANGES TO INCREASE
THE SALEABILITY OF YOUR HOME
Rely on us to be direct when advising you on what should be done prior to putting your
home on the market. We will let you know how your home looks from a buyer’s point
of view, and what cost effective repairs will make your home “show ready” by staging it
properly!
CAPTURING ALL CALLS, LETTERS AND VISITS
We are organised and computerised, which means we can anticipate and handle all the
details needing special care to successfully sell your home.
LET YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT’S GOING ON WITH
BUYER SHOWINGS
We follow up on all inspections so you know what buyers are thinking about your home
and price feedback. Most importantly, we negotiate on your behalf to get you the highest
best possible price, not try to make you take the first offer that comes to the table.

PRESENTATION
The difference between presenting a property correctly or incorrectly
can sometimes affect the sale price by up to 10%. For this reason, we
recommend you consider the presentation of your home very carefully.
Part of this process is working with you to make sure your home is
presented to its best advantage and has the maximum appeal for buyers.
The most important thing to remember is first impressions count! Once on
the market, you need to disassociate yourself and remove any emotional
connection to the house…don’t look backwards, look to the future!
The RE/MAX First team can ensure simple, cost effective methods to
prepare your home for sale without the need for any major maintenance.

GENERAL TIPS
INSIDE
Give each room a thorough cleaning and clear away any clutter.
Consider having your carpets steam cleaned. Fix any loose or squeaky
flooring. Clean all windows to allow in maximum light. You’ll need to
repair any damaged tiling or wallpaper and you should think about
painting any chipped walls.
Plants: These can add a lot to the appeal of a house. If you haven’t got
any, think about buying some to brighten up your property.
Lights and light fittings:Check that all the lights are working and
replace globes.
Carpets: If you have carpets, you should have them professionally
cleaned to make them look their best.
Kitchen: The stove, refrigerator and sink all need to be at their
sparkling best to make this room attractive. Clear the benches as much
as possible to make it look larger.
OUTSIDE
Fences: Make sure the fences are in good condition. Carry out repairs
such as straightening loose posts and repairing holes.
Lawns: Make sure you keep your lawns neatly trimmed, including the
edges. It also adds appeal if your lawns are green and weed free.
Paths, Driveways and Paved Areas: Clean up any grease or oil marks.
Remove all weeds from any cracks or joins. Keep these areas swept and
tidy while your property is on the market.
Gardens: Keep your garden weed free and make sure your plants look
healthy. Put down fresh mulch to make the gardens look well cared
for, inhibit weed growth and reduce the amount of watering needed. If
you’ve got bare patches, consider picking up some bright flowers. Trim
back any climbing plants that may have got out of control.
Pools and Ponds: Make sure your pool is clean and sparkling. Any fish
ponds and birdbaths need to be clean and clear of weeds.
Patios and Decks: To make these areas look their best, make sure
furniture is in good repair. The area should be clean and free from clutter.
A few pot plants can add extra appeal.
The Building Exterior: Wash the walls, eaves and windows, or hire a
professional to do it. If the paintwork is flaking don’t decide to repaint
without discussing it with your agent - it may not be worth the cost
involved.

JUST BEFORE THE INSPECTION
Put clean towels in the bathroom and clean tea towels in the kitchen. If your budget
will stretch to it, buy new towels in a colour that complements your bathroom and
put them out during inspections. Make sure the house smells good. You could put a
few drops of vanilla essence in a hot oven, brew some coffee or light an oil burner.
Open all the curtains and blinds and switch on inside lights to make the house look
light and airy.
RESTRAIN ANY PETS
Unfortunately not everyone is an animal lover. Switch off the television. You might
want to put some quiet background music on. Finally, leave the house before
inspection time. If the current owner is there, buyers may not take the time to
look through a house properly because they feel they are intruding on the owners’
territory.
CONSIDERING MAJOR CHANGES?
Renovations can add significant value to a property but you can run the risk of
overcapitalising. Interestingly enough many buyers are also looking for a ‘renovators
delight’ style home so in some cases it is better off saving your money. Always
ensure you speak us before undertaking any major changes!
HAVE FUN
Most importantly, try to enjoy the selling process. Avoid stress by being well
prepared and use the people around you to help carry the workload.
