FREE vs PAID SELLING ADVISORY SERVICES

"You have a "Free" selling advisory. How does it work?"

It's a very good question.

And one that I'm often talking to people about.

It is true that I have a paid selling advisory service, which is a completely comprehensive selling advisory from the initial marketing, the appointment of the agents, the reviewing of contracts, the agents' terms and conditions, the marketing, the negotiation of offers price, and dealing with the lawyers.

And advising on withholding tax and finally right up through until settlement.

This is a fully comprehensive service which takes the pressure completely off you as the seller and enables you to make rational, logical, unemotional decisions to maximise your price for the least cost in the fastest possible time.

That is the full paid service, which many prefer and which remains very popular, as it is affordable and very comprehensive, and offers the maximum chance of getting the highest price, often many times in excess of the fee.

But the free service is also excellent, and suits some people.

Compare below and decide which service would suit you most.

But as I have stressed many times, don't simply ring your rental agent or a random agent, and ask them to sell!

_{FREE SELLERS ADVISORY SERVICE}

What is the difference between the free and paid advisory? +

The free service is basically everything that is in the paid service up until you appoint your agent. .

So it's advising and helping you with the sales price, setting the price, advising and helping you on how to select the right agent with personal recommendations of which agent would most suit your property, and even interviewing the agents on your behalf if you require.

It's advising on the market, on the promotion, the method of sale, and on the contract and on everything that leads up to the appointment of the agent.

Once the agent is appointed, the agent takes over and deals with you direct from that point on, and my free selling service effectively then ends.

So why do you offer a service for free? Why would you do it? +

Very simple..

It introduces people to what I do.

And if you've genuinely found my advice helpful, I hope you might consider leaving me an honest Google review afterwards.

There is absolutely no obligation to do so, but those reviews are enormously valuable to a personal advisory business like mine.

And this really helps my business. And arguably is worth more to me than the cost of the paid service.

You see, out of everyone who inquires some choose the paid service, and some will go for the free service.

And obviously, Google Reviews saves me advertising and promotion and drives people to come and talk to me without spending on ads.

And of that, a percentage will sign up for my paid service.

So I'm more than happy to give a free service if that's what you're interested in.

There is no pressure, no trying to sign you up for the paid service. No strings attached.

It's a very honest and legitimate free service, and I have helped many people, and I'm delighted to help you.

_{THE PAID SELLERS SERVICE}

What is included in the paid service, are there any hidden costs? +

The advantage of the paid service over the free service is I continue on after we have appointed your agent.

And this is where the true expertise comes in. Getting the right agent is clearly the first and very important step.

But dealing with that agent afterwards is critical.

Ensuring the agent offers the right marketing campaign suitable for your property.

Ensuring the marketing budget is allocated correctly, and not just to benefit the agent’s business.

Making sure the Open House schedule is the correct one for your property.

Ensuring any repairs, maintenance and furniture staging is done at fair market prices, to the required standard and is necessary. Many agents will insist on painting for example. Of course they “want it” because it makes their job easier, but is it really necessary?

I will handle the agent, deal with the agent, and help with the negotiation on offers, price and terms and take you right through to the final settlement.

And probably it is the negotiation stage that the fee really pays for itself. Once the agent has an offer they may well be keen for you to accept it so they can move on to the next sale.

This is where I can really help you. My independent assessment of the offers can let you know whether to accept, reject or make a counter offer. As my fee does not depend on your sale price, my advice becomes indispensable at this point.

And from our first conversation through to settlement, I'll personally handle your search, inspections, negotiations and advice.

I don't hand clients to junior staff.

There are no additional costs from my side no matter how long your proeprty takes to sell.

What is price of your paid service? +

It is a fixed fee of AU$3,888 (plus GST if applicable).
