Selling Your Property
Stevens & Carter provide independent advice, clear communication and a personal approach for property sellers, with careful guidance from valuation through to completion.
Based in Hailsham, Stevens & Carter combine local market knowledge with wider experience across East Sussex, helping sellers make informed decisions at each stage of the property sale.
With well over 30 years’ experience valuing and selling property across the local area, combined with the latest market intelligence and marketing technologies, we work to achieve the best possible selling price for your property.
We take the time to understand your property, your priorities and your timescales, so we can recommend a selling strategy that presents your home effectively and supports the strongest possible result.
At Stevens & Carter we will prepare a full specification of your home with numerous photographs to show it in its best light, plus a detailed floor plan to give it that extra dimension. We ask that these property details are thoroughly checked by you prior to circulation as they are used on major web portals.
Professional photography, virtual tours, property videos, and drone photography can all help your home make a stronger first impression online, giving prospective buyers more reasons to arrange a viewing.
When selling your property, first impressions really do count. This is not only about decorative condition, but also about presentation, layout, light, tidiness and the way buyers feel when they first arrive. If you would like some advice on any appropriate improvements to help sell your home more effectively, please feel free to ask. Our aim is to sell your property at the optimum price and one of the ways we do this is to provide potential buyers with high quality property details featuring clear floor plans and numerous colour photos to capture your home at its best.
We are also experienced in using "viewing events" to help sell your home, and recently this has produced excellent sale prices for our vendors.
At Stevens and Carter, you can rest assured you’ll be getting access to the most up-to-date marketing. We display quality property particulars in branch with listings on our own website, we also advertise in local publications and of course on major national property portals such as Rightmove and OnTheMarket.
Top Tips to Sell Your Home Effectively
The little things can make a big difference when it comes to selling a property and minor changes can have a positive impact on how a buyer views your property.
- A clear pathway, clean front door and well maintained garden will instantly make your property more appealing, it's the first thing your potential buyer will see and first impressions can make or break a sale.
- Redecorating tired and chipped paintwork can really brighten a home and make it feel fresh and well looked after. Don't forget the hallway!
- Make any minor repairs you've been putting off, such as a broken fence panel or dripping tap and replace any dead light bulbs.
- Clean, sparkling windows can drastically alter the appearance of a property, clean windows also let a lot more light in.
- Declutter your home so potential buyers can imagine the space with their own belongings.
- Make effective use of your space, so get rid of that junk room. Many people have trouble visualising a space.
- Try to keep your house clean and tidy all the time while it is on the market as you could get a request for a viewing at any time. Make sure beds are made, bathrooms are clean, kitchen surfaces are clear and laundry is put away.
- And lastly, banish smoke or pet odours and avoid cooking anything with a strong odour before a viewing as the smell can linger.
Communication is Key
As with any property sale, we believe the key to success is keeping communication open between our client, prospective buyers and everyone involved in the transaction. Our clients can expect regular updates with viewing feedback and market conditions from a member of the team. At Stevens and Carter, we use several different channels to keep in contact so please inform us of the best way to stay in touch. We understand and appreciate the importance of always being open, honest and easy to reach in such a fast-paced property market.
