Tips on selling your retirement village unit.

If you are thinking about selling your retirement unit privately, or even if you have an agent or village manager currently selling it for you, advertising on Australia's number one retirement property website www.seniorshousingonline.com.au will immediately generate more prospective buyer enquiries and help sell your unit faster.

A few tips to get the best results:

1.    Always Include really good, attractive photos of the unit (both internal and external shots) – quality is more important than quantity.

2.    Provide comprehensive information about the best features of the unit, the village and the location.  Think about this from the perspective of a prospective buyer who may not be familiar with the village or the area, and what is likely to be attractive to them.

3.    Set the sale price realistically in comparison with similar units, to make sure yours gets on the buyer’s shortlist and generates more enquiries.

If you want to sell privately and save the sales agency commission, but you have previously had a real estate agent or the village manager selling the unit for you, you will need to check your sales agreement to make sure it has expired, or to terminate the agreement properly.  Failing to do so means they may be able to claim the sales commission anyway, even if you find a private buyer and negotiate a sale yourself.
