Select the best real estate agent For a commission, an agent will take care of many details you may not want to be bothered with (placing ads, fielding calls, making signs, etc.) and bring experience to the table. To find a good one, ask friends and relatives, then interview several candidates. Set a price A real estate agent will give you a market analysis free of charge or commitment. Ask a few to get a broader picture of the market. Check out comparable listings yourself in the real estate section of your newspaper or on websites. Then decide whether you want a quick, easy sale or the highest possible price. Clean & declutter Weed out excess furniture, knicknacks, and “stuff ”—toss it, donate it, give it away, sell it at a garage sale, or put it into storage—so the house seems more spacious and buyers can imagine themselves in it. Stay vigiliant about maintenance Keep the lawn mowed, shrubs trimmed, gardens weeded, rooms spotless and clutter-free. Ready your home for open days Hide pocketable valuables, display fresh flowers or bowls of fruit, bake a batch of cookies for the homey smell, open the drapes, keep pets out of sight. Decide whether to do your own building inspection It may save you time, especially with older homes, to identify—and potentially solve—problems your buyer’s inspection will discover later.

2 13 Confident at Auctions Looking confident may be all you need to be the last bidder standing when the hammer goes down. Does your blood pressure go sky-high at the sight of an auction room? Chances are some of your fellow bidders are doing all in their power to psych you out and win the bidding. Securing a property isn’t just about having the most money. Sometimes the winning bidder is the one with the most confidence. They use psychology to convince opposing bidders to give up, hoping to make everyone else think they’ve got more to spend than anyone else in the room. Too often buyers have preconceived ideas about how the auction will unfold and have their confidence knocked when it doesn’t go their way. Two can play at that game. You just need to get your strategy right. Looking confident may be all you need to be the last bidder standing when the hammer goes down. To be that person you need to do some preparation. Make sure you go to a few auctions first to get used to them. Come bidding day, park yourself on the side at the front so that you can see everyone in the room and, more importantly, they can see you whether they’re at the back of the front. It gives you a vantage point and shows the opposition you are bidding confidently against them. You are hoping that the other buyers have a plan in place. Often that’s to start low. So if you come in with a relatively high first bid, you may rattle them. “The lower the open bid the more people can afford to bid. So you could knock out some of the opposition before they even place a bid if you choose the right opener. Don’t start at $500,000 for a house you know is going to go for at least $800,000. Put an opening bid of $785,000. Immediately your opposition is going to think it will go incredibly high and might be unnerved. Call each bid out confidently. “It shows you are comfortable and in control. The more confident you seem the more people will think you have done it before. It’s a really good idea to vary your bidding increments.. If it’s going up by $2000 bids and it’s below your limit don’t be afraid to put a $10,000 bid in.. Your competition is always thinking about that next $2000 bid and if you change the rhythm from $2000 to $10,000 you show you have the money and it changes where their next bid has to be. Instead of $4000 more it is $12,000 more. Finally, if you’re a couple, make sure you’ve discussed every aspect of the auction before you get there. As soon as you start looking at each other or conferring, the opposition will think you’re weak.
