Selling your home can be as stressful as buying a new one.
Your selling options
There are two options: selling privately or with the assistance of a competent estate agent. For more information regarding estate agents and their rights and obligations, please visit the Estate Agency Affairs Board website on www.eaab.org.za
The importance of asking the right price
This is certainly the most important aspect of selling your home. Over-price it and the chances are you will delay the sale, under-price it and you will regret selling too cheaply. Most buyer interest occurs when your property initially goes on the market.
Current economic and market conditions, the location and size of the property, the accommodation and the features of the property offers normally determine the actual selling price. You will get a good idea of the correct price by looking at what similar properties are fetching in your area. Do not be misled by the asking prices in the area.
Remember that the seller usually sets the price; the buyer usually sets the value!
Make sure that your price includes all the extras, such as fixtures and fittings.
Electrical compliance certificates
By law, an electrical compliance certificate has to be in the possession of every new purchaser of a property to confirm that the property’s electrical system complies with safety regulations. The seller is obligated to supply it to the buyer at the seller’s expense prior to registration of transfer. It is not the agent’s responsibility to obtain it. In certain areas (mainly coastal regions), the seller also has to supply the buyer with an Entomologist’s Certificate confirming that the property is free of woodborer or termite infestation.
Tip: Complete all your documents in full. Do not sign any incomplete documents and question anything that you do not understand fully - you have the right to do that.

Top 10 Questions to Ask Your Agent |
Choosing the right estate agent is a crucial step in the process of selling your home. The easiest way to find out if an agent is suited for the job is to ask as many questions as possible. Here are 10 of the most important questions to ask to ensure you are dealing with the right agent:
1. What experience do you have? 2. Where will you be advertising my property? 3. What statistics can you show me about previous sales? 4. How accessible are you? 5. What is your commission cut? 6. Do you have contactable references? 7. How many properties do you currently list in my area? 8. Are you registered with the Estate Agency Board? 9. What listing price do you suggest and why? 10. Do you offer any other services? |
