As we start to see more sales across Sydney, it has become clear that the property market is like any other market. It finds itself, and One Percent plus gst has found itself, within that market.
Our goal has always been the Sydney property market.
Even though we have seen a sale as far south as Menai, the majority of sales have been from Merrylands, through Parramatta, up to Baulkham Hills and out to Annangrove. It has been clear that the One percent plus gst campaign has been received particularly well in Parramatta and surrounds, and then up through the Norwest into the Hills area. Of course, it is still available right throughout Sydney, it just so happens that it appears to have been taken up well in the west and North west sector.
As more sales occur, it is only time before we see prudent vendors in the upper north shore come on board as well.
Of course we are under no illusions, it won't be easy, as we are up against some very large real estate franchises, with very large marketing budgets.
Having said that, with each vendor that save $1,000s in real estate commission the word must eventually get out.
Real estate commission rates in New South Wales, including Sydney, are not set by law.
This means you can negotiate with an agent about their real estate commission rates.
As a guide, agents real estate commission in Sydney generally range from 2% to 3.5%. This is a guide only. On top of this vendors may be charged gst, marketing costs, auction campaigns and some agents even charge prospective vendors upfront fees. As can be seen, vendors can be charged all sorts of realestate commission.
With a one percent plus gst agent you will only pay one percent plus gst real estate sales commission on the sale of your property. You will never be asked for money upfront for marketing.
With a combination of decreasing overhead costs, and a change in buyer behaviour due to the internet, a one percent plus gst selling fee, is not only realistic, we believe it should be the norm.
Real money is being saved by you the customer.
It really does work.
Why it works.
A sign out the front, and we are not talking about a masterpiece sign, we are talking about a simple “For Sale” sign out the front, lets local buyers know that your place is for sale.
Listing the property on www.realestate.com.au lets the whole world know that your property is for sale. Millions, yes millions, of buyers are searching realestate.com.au each month for properties. The shear numbers are proof that most buyers search the net when they are looking to buy a property.
With the above in mind, you can see how a simple combination of bricks and clicks, is in fact a very powerful marketing strategy.
The fact that it is just a normal real estate sign, with no mention of the 1.1% means the buyer is not aware that you the vendor are receiving a discount service. Again this is to your advantage.
Selling real estate doesn’t have to be flash.
At the end of the day most people just want to sell their property for the best possible price, and the least amount of cost!
At present the most powerful real estate portal in Australia is realestate.com.au. However, with Ray White, First National, Century 21 and now LJ Hooker linking their data, watch Google Maps real estate start to grow. It will be awesome! For an example of where this is heading click on this link for Google Real Estate and type in your local suburb.
Just as realestate.com.au changed how houses are advertised, Google real estate through Google Maps real estate will again change how properties are marketed. The only question is when?
