Upon our decision to sell our property we were faced with the daunting task of “interviewing estate agents”, our main goal was to find an agent whom was professional, and showed a very good understanding of the local market along with the buyer demographic. When you first meet a real-estate agent you can tell straight away, or within minutes if they are serious, if they have market knowledge or just simply looking to secure that next listing together with the marketing fee’s and move on. It’s an all too common trend. You might even go as far to say that in the current market, it seems relatively simple to list a property and secure a sale. This may well be the case, however to achieve a sale above the current median prices and within a short timeframe, this takes the skills of an experienced professional. Like the team of David Tyler (principal) and Craig Anderson from Century 21. After many meetings with various local agents and the same old sales pitch, we found we were drawn back to David Tyler and Craig Anderson, using them as the benchmark to evaluate other agents. In the end we chose to go with David and Craig due to their level of professionalism and industry knowledge, this seems to be a rare trait in local real-estate agents and I believe something which sets them apart from the “run of the mill” estate agents whom rely solely on a fast moving sales trend to sell property. I think in the current market to sell a property would be quite easy, however to sell a property and achieve higher figures than the median for the area is a real skill, a skill which seems to be lacking in the local estate agent business. Both David and Craig were extremely knowledgeable and a great deal of diligence was undertaken for our listing, they explained the market in detail along with the current outlook for property in the area. They explained timeframes and windows of opportunity to us and how we could capitalise on this to achieve the best results. There were no costs
