 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 Dean Teuma of Barry Plant. 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. Dean has generously agreed to provide his 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? I first started in the Real Estate industry in 2010, starting out as a Rural Sales consultant with a small branch in the Ballan/Daylesford Area. Can you estimate how many properties you have sold in your career? Since first kick starting my Real Estate Career, I can confidently say I have sold over 150 homes. What do you love about the real estate industry? The Real Estate industry is an ever expanding industry that has so many unique properties on the market, the real love and passion I have in the industry is having the opportunity to walk through some of Victoria’s most elite homes and of course, being able to create a seamless transaction for my vendors, it gives me a sense of satisfaction.  "Share a couple of key points about your agency..." What is the philosophy of your agency? What makes you differ from other agents? At Barry Plant Real Estate Ballarat, we are known as the “Red Carpet Agents”, because we deliver a service like no other. We offer Barry Plant Financial services which helps Vendors and Purchasers to create a quicker and easier transaction. Barry Plant Ballarat are one of 82 Victorian Barry Plant Offices, meaning that a portion of our sales are referral based from inner Melbourne and other parts of Victoria. We offer elite marketing schedules such as Signature Property, which allows a sought after home to really be separated from the rest and show its presence. Barry Plant also offers a 24 Hour Sales Service which is 1300 Real Estate, which enhances our Phone services.  "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? Ensure that the property is presented with a realistic opportunity for a potential purchaser to imagine themselves in the home. A key to this is to take down family photos and remove clutter.  What is one common preparation item that is overlooked? The most common areas of preparation that can be overlooked when a home is going on the market, are the Walk In Pantry and Bathroom. These two rooms are seen as luxury areas and can be a big selling point in any home. What is one key presentation feature that prospective purchasers often remark on? Again I find it’s the Kitchen. When purchasers are greeted with a clean, uncluttered kitchen with a feeling of ample room, it definitely creates added value to the home. We thank Dean very much for his time this week and for sharing his valuable insights into how we can best prepare our properties for sale.
