With the cooler months of winter having arrived, the property market also has a tendency to cool off – with some sellers tempted to hold off until spring and summer to sell their property. However, there are some distinct advantages to selling your home during the winter months. There are generally fewer listings on the market during winter and this can open your home to greater exposure. A lack of listings can also result in increased buyer competition. The colder conditions should filter out any tyre-kickers or nosey neighbours – instead attracting those who are serious buyers with the intention of making a purchase. Here are some great ways to maximize the viewing potential of your home during the winter months. Heating – By selling your home at the coldest time of year, you have the opportunity to showcase all of your winter warmers and demonstrate that they are working and ready for the purchaser to use. Buyers will ask themselves if it felt cold while looking through the house and they’ll look for functioning hot water and heating systems. Heating is of particular appeal if you are selling an older house and it can be a pivotal factor when a buyer looks to make their home-buying decision. Lighting – Winter brings colder temperatures, shorter days and less natural light. A lot of people who are thinking about attending an open home will often drive past the property in the evening and nothing looks better than a house lit up at night time. Therefore it’s a good idea to set timers up for those night-time drivers. Phone 0800 900...

In many industries it takes a change leader to create better competition and deliver a very different market experience. In many industries this can be as different as night and day, or it may be a more subtle experience, yet just as dramatically different in the end result. In many instances competition likes to confuse the client by confusing the price of service or making the price the same to avoid the discussion about service delivery difference, marketing look and feel and database activity. We always ask our clients “If we weren’t here what would our competitors be charging you”. If our competitors were looking after clients maybe they would be openly offering 2.95% up to $390,000 and 1.95% thereafter plus GST, plus a base fee of $490 plus GST. Our position as highlighted in the Deloitte Fast 50 (showcasing the fastest 50 growth companies in New Zealand) is that Mike Pero Real Estate Limited is a change leader in a number of ways: – Price (you may save $2,000 to $5,000) on a comparable real estate service – Service (the person that you list with, you sell with) – Decisions are made (the business owner is involved in your experience) – You will recieve a comprehensive and free advertising and marketing plan including magazine and TV exposure – Regular information updates showcasing the progress of a sale – Local office located at 327 Main Road, Huapai.
