VALUATIONS
Guidelines for valuating your property
Even though a seller may have an idea of how property valuations work and what the value of their home is, it is imperative that they also take the opinion of a qualified agent that specialises in that specific area. Century 21 agents are deployed as “area specialists” which is a guarantee from the agency that their opinion can be relied upon as a professional benchmark.
It isn’t a pleasant matter to discover during the beginning of your negotiations with potential buyers that nobody is interested in your price, which highlights the value of professional property valuations. South Africa is a tricky market and everyone from a first-time home buyer to an experience investor will reap the benefits of professional guidance and assistance.
It is always important to remember that there will most likely be other sellers in the area, at the same time. In this case, these other sellers effectively become your competition. In most instances, buyers view a property just once and make their decision there and then, so it is of the utmost importance to price the property right from the start. Naturally this will often be negotiated but negotiation means progress and options, whereas a firm no due to erroneous pricing is never a response you want from a reasonable potential buyer.
It is crucial for sellers to understand that the market is a significant factor in determining the selling price of a property. Many sellers waste a great deal of bargaining time by trying to ‘fool’ the market, which only ends up creating frustrations between the seller and the agent - as well as yielding unsatisfactory results.
Our agents are there to guide the seller into correct pricing by offering area expertise and a comparative analysis so that the property is sold in the quickest possible time at the best possible price. Contact a Century 21 branch today for your expert property valuations.
