Although there are various ways for sellers to find buyers for their homes, it eventually comes down to four important aspects for sellers to take note of when looking for serious home buyers. These are searches, sources, show houses and sole mandates.

1. Searches: The internet simplifies the house hunting process by helping buyers find the right home in the right price range. There are many property websites available on the internet which allows buyers to find a range of properties for sale or rent within their budget and location. The internet can be dangerous so buyers should only look at legitimate websites and never provide personal information or money until you insure that the advertising agent is legitimate.

2. Sources: For a seller, the sources that an agent has to offer are important. Some of these source types include having a qualified buyer database, reputable referrals, and excellent promotional tools used by the agency to attract buyers. Experienced agents will know their local area well, and the types of buyers that are attracted to the area.

3. Show houses: Majority of serious buyers will come from show house viewings, which is important for any serious seller to take note of. Potential buyers love show houses, and many still drive around the area, so if your home is not on show, you could miss out on a potential sale.

4. Sole mandates: Owners often choose an open mandate when marketing their homes, believing that the more agents they have working on their property, the sooner they will achieve a good price for their house. In reality, the opposite is often true. Sole mandates offer a personalised marketing and advertising plan will be developed to suit your needs. Activity will be monitored and controlled. A single agent interacts with you to understand your requirements. You have the peace of mind of knowing that only one responsible party has access to your property
