You’ve mastered how to buy in Brisbane; now it’s time to sell and reinvest. Here, the expert property consultants at Patrick Leo outline a seller’s roadmap in Brisbane’s property market, with links to several other resources by our team:

Determining market value

A valuation is often the first step to selling your home. You can do a rough estimate of your home’s value by comparing it to recent sales of similar properties in your area. There are a number of other factors which also impact the final valuation, such as land size, dwelling size, structure and style of the home, among others.

Preparing your Brisbane property for a quick sale

If the Rolling Stones’ song doesn’t ring true for you, and time is not on your side, then you’re likely looking for a quick sale – so that you can reinvest that money and won’t miss out on other opportunities.

Our greatest tips for securing a quick sale include pricing the property fairly, addressing maintenance issues before hitting the market, and engage the help of a great real estate team who can market, stage and style your property effectively. We go into more depth about quick sales for Brisbane homes here.

Presentation is key

You don’t wear track pants and a sweater for a job interview… you try and look your best! Putting your Brisbane home on the market is kind of like one long job interview, which is why presentation is such a big part of selling. To showcase your home in its best light, we suggest addressing maintenance issues, hiring a professional cleaning service, and getting it staged and styled before it hits the market. Our guide on Brisbane property presentation is a wealth of knowledge.

When to sell?

We’re often asked about the peak periods for selling Brisbane property. While the answer is complex, as we discuss in this article, it’s generally spring that’s considered the best time to sell property in Brisbane.
