Selling Your Home With Us

At Harcourts Bathurst we treat each real estate transaction as a partnership, a joint venture to achieve your goals because we understand that it is the single most valuable asset you own and therefore it is essential that you be involved in every step of the process.

The sale or purchase of residential property is only part of the equation. We prepare you mentally and emotionally for each step of the transaction from listing, marketing, inspections, offers and negotiations, solicitors, exchange and settlement. The entire process is a planned strategy with clear objectives and goals.

To assist the process we have implemented seven key principles which help us to provide exceptional service to our clients. These include:

1.    Communication
Communication and feedback are crucial in any real estate transaction. Clients need to know what’s going on every step of the way, after all, knowledge is power and understanding reduces stress.

At Harcourts Bathurst  we are constantly communicating with you to provide open, honest, clear and constructive feedback. This feedback can then be used as a springboard for action because we can better plan the marketing strategy, objectives and goals which in turn achieves a quicker sale for the highest possible price.

2.     Personal Service
You are not a number so why be treated like one. This transaction could be the sale or purchase of your greatest asset so nothing should be left to chance. We provide personal service that will ensure you are being provided with exactly what you are entitled to, an agent who works for you and respects you.

Our moto says it all “We’re Focused On You” and that is precisely how it should be. This core value along with honesty, professionalism, efficiency and communication ensures that we deliver on our promises. And as your partner in this transaction we will be true to our word.

3.     Marketing
Proper marketing right from the time you list the property for sale will ensure we achieve the quickest and most pleasing results sooner.

We determine the target market, the best features and the best visual aspect of the property and present your property to it fullest potential. We take many photographs at different times to ensure it looks the very best it can be and our ads are not just a list of contents, they create a lifestyle for the reader which draws them in and creates interest that would not otherwise be achieved.

We can’t sell a secret! So we constantly research the available marketing mediums to ensure that your property is getting the maximum expose possible. Some of the marketing mediums which are currently proving successful are  

  • Internet Exposure

  • Bathurst Property Guide - Weekly

4.     Inspections by Appointments and Open Homes
We offer inspections by appointment and of course, we contact you first to ensure the time is convenient and allow you plenty of time to prepare for the inspection. We also offer open homes on Saturdays and, on occasions, during the evening achieving maximising exposure.

5.     Offers and Negotiations
At Harcourts Bathurst we monitor each potential buyer and explore all possibilities with them so that when we receive an offer we can discuss and advise you on the best action. We constantly undergo training that improves our negotiation skills giving us the ability to reach a successful conclusion as quickly as possible for all parties.

6.     Exchange and Settlement
Our partnership with you does not stop once the selling process reaches exchange or settlement. We continue to be involved during pest and building inspections and are constantly speaking to the solicitors so we can let you know what is going on. We are with you all the way!

7.     Selling Fee
We do not get paid until we have completed our task of selling the property and the sale is complete at settlement. We offer a fixed percentage rate of 2.75% including GST for exclusive listings and 3.25% plus GST for open listings.

We are with you for the entire journey with open, honest feedback and communication and you’ll find that, in the end, you won’t want to deal with anyone else.
