Selling Your Home with JAGS: A Step-by-Step Guide from Valuation to Completion 🔑
Embarking on the journey of selling your home can feel daunting, but with JAGS, it's a streamlined and supportive process. This guide breaks down every step, ensuring you feel confident and informed from your initial valuation right through to completion.
Our Step-by-Step Guide from Valuation to Completion 🔑
Selling your home is a significant life event, and choosing the right estate agent can make all the difference. At JAGS, we pride ourselves on offering a comprehensive, transparent, and efficient service designed to achieve the best possible outcome for you. Here’s a detailed look at how we guide you through the entire selling process.
Step 1: Booking Your Free Valuation
The first crucial step is understanding your property's market value. We offer a free, no-obligation valuation service. One of our experienced estate agents will visit your home to assess its features, condition, and location, taking into account current market trends and comparable sales in your area. This ensures we provide an accurate and realistic valuation, setting the foundation for a successful sale.
What to Expect During the Valuation:
- We will chat through all the details of your move so we can tailor our service to suit you, your timings, reasons for moving, where you’re heading next, and whether we can help with your onward purchase.
- Do a thorough inspection of your property.
- Discuss with you about your property's unique selling points.
- Give insights into local market conditions.
- Send you a clear, data-driven valuation report.
Step 2: Instructing JAGS and Marketing Your Property
Once you're happy with our valuation and proposal, you'll instruct JAGS to act as your estate agent. This is where our proactive marketing strategy kicks in. We believe in showcasing your home in the best possible light to attract the right buyers.
Our Marketing Approach Includes:
- Professional Photography: High-quality images and potential drone footage are essential for making a strong first impression.
- Detailed Floor Plans: Helping potential buyers visualise the layout.
- Engaging Property Descriptions: Highlighting key features and benefits.
- Social media campaigns on all platforms, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and YouTube.
- Extensive Online Presence: Listing your property on major property portals like Rightmove and Zoopla, and on the market as well as our website.
- Targeted Marketing: Early exposure to our extensive database of registered buyers actively looking in your area.
- 'For Sale' Board: A traditional yet effective way to generate local interest.
- WhatsApp group to help keep communication easy and flowing between everyone involved.
- You stay in control: You pick the day we launch, whether you’re ready now or need a bit of time. From that point, we handle the viewings, feedback, negotiation, and offer management, all while keeping you fully informed.
- No long contracts, no hidden fees, and no surprise terms. We’re here to guide you, not pressure you. You’ll know exactly what’s happening, every step of the way, from first viewing to final completion.
Step 3: Viewings and Feedback
Once your property is on the market, we'll arrange and conduct viewings with prospective buyers. Our estate agents are skilled at showcasing properties and answering any questions potential buyers may have. We handle all enquiries and accompany every viewing, providing you with valuable feedback afterwards.
Our Viewing Process:
- Flexible viewing times to accommodate buyers.
- Our agents are professional, knowledgeable, and well-prepared for every viewing. Once we’ve received your completed house questionnaire, we can make sure we’re fully informed about your property. That means we’re able to give potential buyers a proper, detailed viewing and answer their questions confidently.
- Prompt and constructive feedback after each viewing via your WhatsApp Group.
Step 4: Receiving and Negotiating Offers
When an offer is made, we will immediately communicate it to you, along with any specific conditions. Our experienced team will then negotiate on your behalf to achieve the best possible price and terms for your property. We'll provide expert advice and guidance throughout this crucial stage, ensuring you make informed decisions.
Step 5: Sales Progression to Exchange
Once an offer is accepted, the sales progression begins. This is often considered the most complex part of the process, but our dedicated sales progression team will manage it meticulously. We act as the central point of contact between all parties involved – solicitors, mortgage lenders, and other estate agents in the chain – to keep the process moving smoothly.
- Key Aspects of Sales Progression:
- Liaising with solicitors to ensure all legal aspects are covered.
- Monitoring the mortgage application process.
- Addressing any queries or issues that arise from surveys or searches.
- Regular updates to keep you informed of progress.
This stage culminates in the exchange of contracts, where the sale becomes legally binding, and a completion date is set.
Step 6: Completion Day 🏡
Completion day is the exciting culmination of the entire process! On this day, the remaining funds are transferred from the buyer's solicitor to your solicitor. Once your solicitor confirms receipt of the funds, they will authorise us to release the keys to the new owners. Congratulations, your property is officially sold! 🥳 We’ll meet you at the property to hand over the keys, ensure you take final meter readings, and make sure everything’s in order before we leave.
