30 Second Secret to Success - How to Sell Your Property with Francesca Nicol of Biggin & Scott24/6/2016  Everyone selling a property has similar questions, but the most common question of all, the one we all want the answer to is, how can I sell my property quickly and ensure that I get top dollar. Well, these are reasonable questions to ask, and who better to answer them than the experts in the real estate market, the agent's themselves. With years of experience and an opportunity to ask buyers directly what they want to see in homes that are being offered for sale, why would we possibly ignore the advice that their expertise offers us? Welcome to our feature agent profile of the week with Francesca Nicol of Biggin & Scott. Each week we will be profiling an experienced agent and asking the tough questions - the ones that will give us the answers and information we really need to know when getting our property ready to sell. Francesca has generously agreed to provide her expertise and insight into the real estate market and provide all of us, who are preparing to sell our homes with valuable information that will ensure that our property has the edge in a competitive market. So, with the introductions complete, let's get into the questions that we all want to know the answers to... "Tell us a little about yourself..." How long have you worked in the industry? Sixteen and a half years Can you estimate how many properties you have sold in your career? 7-800 or so What do you love about the real estate industry? I love negotiating & extracting as much as I can from people.  Francesca Nicol - Biggin & Scott "Share a couple of key points about your agency..." What is the philosophy of your agency? What makes you differ from other agents? We work out ways to get properties out to parts of the market that will value it the highest. We always ask for more… While that may be run of the mill in Melbourne, we are told by the buyers we deal with, it is quite the opposite in Ballarat.  "Please share your secrets to success that every property seller should know..."What is the most important piece of advice you would provide to a seller who is getting their property ready to go on the market? Spend an extra couple of weeks detailing it & attending to every possible psychological obstacle. Spending the money to present your property, pays off both financially & makes the sale of your property a swift one. Long arduous sales take their toll on any family or relationship & can ultimately effect price achieved (sometimes by more than 10%).  What is one common preparation item that is overlooked? I have a few; gardens not being well trimmed & mulched, rooms over-cluttered with furniture, dirty windows & dog odours.. What is one key presentation feature that prospective purchasers often remark on? Properties where any owner has cleaned meticulously, gardened, has de-cluttered & shown a lot of effort. Of course having stunning pieces in it like yours Jo, helps a lot!! Thankfully most of our owners do this & generally these properties sell well. It does make me proud though when buyers comment on how all our properties are so beautifully presented. We thank Francesca very much for her time this week and for sharing her valuable insights into how we can best prepare our properties for sale.
