You have sorted the paperwork, you have decluttered your home and staged it, you have selected your agent and solicitor — so what happens now?
This is where you really need to hold your nerve.
It is exciting to see pictures of your house on the internet and to see all the hits that it is getting online. The ‘for sale’ sign has gone up and viewings are brisk. Everything is going well.
Then, as can and does happen, viewings dry up, you are not as eager to get your home ready for a viewing, and the hits drop dramatically. What's going on?
A client of mine says: “This is a rollercoaster — one minute you're in great form with all the initial viewings, then poor offers can dribble in and then you lose interest in getting the house ready.”
Don't panic — offers will come in, and unless your house is overpriced or in poor condition, your house will sell.
When your home becomes sale agreed, the first thing to do is to agree a closing date and work towards that.
Space limitations here do not allow further elaboration on the conveyance process, but a good auctioneer will guide you through it and be of good assistance to bring the sale smoothly to closing.
Michelle Burke MIPAV, auctioneer and letting agent, is available to offer any assistance in relation to property requirements on 087 2500 716.
