Preparing Your Home for Profit

We have learned that the best price comes from the best preparation. As your real estate partner it is our intention - via this document - to help you maximise your price and to make the sale of your property an enjoyable and rewarding experience.

It's important that we keep our eyes on the prize. The prize is securing the best possible price for your home. Your profit will be realised when we attract a cashed-up buyer, who will inspect the home on the surface then obtain a building and pest report that will influence the final dollar decision.

With this understanding we have constructed this document in a way that clearly works to our final moment of truth. So let's get started by preparing your home for profit.

Purchasing with Self Managed Super

It wasn't so long ago that people used to say if you own your own property you'd be right for life but times have changed. Using a self-managed super fund (SMSF) to buy property is becoming increasingly popular as it can give you more control over the management of your retirement savings.

A lot of the inflexibility and controls have been relaxed such that superannuation is now a legitimate way to grow your assets in a tax-free environment. Contributions to superannuation are now tax-free for investors over the age of 60.
