Ready to sell? Or just thinking about it?

Committed or just exploring options – I'll help you make the right decision.

Selling your home should feel simple.

Personal Advice

No scripts, no pressure – just genuine conversations about your goals and how to achieve them.

Local Expertise

Over 25 years in the market, deep knowledge of Northern Adelaide, and a personal approach that big agencies can't match.

Realistic Strategy

No pressure tactics – just clear timing, honest pricing, and a strategy tailored to your situation.

Complete Process

From initial consultation to settlement – a transparent 23-step process that covers every detail of your property sale.

The 4 questions every seller asks.

How much will the property sell for?

Any agent saying "I will get you X" without data either has a crystal ball or is telling you what you want to hear.

I analyze recent sales of similar properties in your area
The 4 P's sell homes: Presentation, Promotion, Position, Price
Competition and negotiation drive premium prices

What are the costs involved?

realestate.com.au is nearly half the marketing cost. Other costs depend on your chosen services.

Professional painting refresh (DIY or professional)
Professional photography for internet showcase
Social media promotion (cost-effective and powerful)

How long will it take to sell?

Depends on the 4 P's being right and your chosen selling method.

Auction: 3-week campaign before auction day
Best offers: Can be quicker, fantastic offers in first week
Settlement: 2-3 weeks for finance + 2 weeks for settlement

What selling method works best?

Depends on your area and situation. Each method has different advantages.

Auction: No conditions, no price ceiling, but only 2/3 sell
Private treaty: Clear price guide, but puts ceiling on price
Best offers: No price ceiling + flexibility for inspections/finance

Honest pricing, not crystal ball predictions

I use comparable sales data to give you realistic price expectations.

Advise on presentation improvements for higher prices
Small maintenance jobs show buyers your home care

What to watch out for when choosing an agent.

"Buying the Listing"

Agents inflate possible selling prices to get your business, then condition you to lower expectations.

If price isn't reached, they blame property or market
Most agencies train in vendor conditioning techniques
Many agents encourage false expectations

"Very Busy Agents"

Lots of listings look impressive, but dig deeper. A team of PA's might be doing the work.

PA's often manage most of the actual work
You'll always talk with the agent, not the PA
Much behind-the-scenes work isn't visible

Auction-only agencies

Auctions work in right areas, but only 10% of properties went to auction in SA 2024.

Only 61-75% of auction properties actually sold
Large part of market can't/won't buy under auction conditions
Reliance on auctioneer instead of negotiation skills

My honest approach

Why not just be honest and use available data of comparable sales? I give realistic price expectations and advise on presentation improvements.

Realistic price assumptions based on comparable sales
Advise on presentation improvements for higher prices
Small maintenance jobs show buyers your home care
