Episode #19 The Drive Home to the Hawkesbury with Rachael Goldsworthy – Things to think about before listing your home for sale

3 April, 2014 · Posted by Rachael Goldsworthy


Hi, my name is Rachael Goldsworthy, and we’re just heading off to a house in South Windsor. That particular house we’ve been asked to have a look at because the owner is unsure as to what to do prior to putting it on the market. There’s a couple of things that they want us to have a look through. Whether it needs the painting and the gardens and those sorts of things, but also things such as garden ornaments or garages, whether they should be there or not. Sometimes garages are attached to a house. Sometimes they are separated, so they can add value depending on the make and materials that have been used. However, sometimes they can also be an eyesore.

That’s something that an agent can do, come out to the house prior to you putting the house on the market to make it a little bit easier for you, and give you a list of one to 10 of items for you to do, prioritise and put a timeline on it, and also come back and check. The other thing that’s really important with that process is things that buyers are looking for in that marketplace at that particular time that you’re selling, things such as built in wardrobes. Whether the, if you’re looking at replacing the roof because it’s dilapidated whether a tile or iron roof is more preferred by the buyer.

Little things like that that make all of the difference for the buyer, so if you’ve got any questions at all in regards to what you’re doing when it comes to the sale of your house, don’t hesitate to give me a call. I’ll be more than happy to walk you through that.

Episode#13 The Drive Home to the Hawkesbury with Rachael Goldsworthy – Rachael talks about getting an agent out to list your home

21 July, 2013 · Posted by Rachael Goldsworthy


Hi, my name’s Rachael Goldsworthy, and today I wanted to talk to you about going to somebody’s house just before they’re going to list the home for sale. When somebody lists their home for sale, they get quite nervous about the whole process. The agent goes out, has a look at the home, gives them an idea of the value of their home so that they can then list their home for sale. I had one particular person today that was looking at listing their home for sale, but was really anxious about the agent going out because well my house is untidy, or my backyard’s not right, or this is not right.

At the end of the day for what we do, and the way I see my role with the agency is that that’s our job to point out those things that need to be done. We can help you identify very quickly as to what a buyer’s looking for in a home, and what things that you need to tidy up with your home prior to selling. Things like zeroing weeds and gardens and general declutter, that’s all pretty normal things. Other things that we can identify pretty quickly in regards to homes, for example painting around gutters and storm water drains that aren’t connected, that aren’t normally things but as a result of that can cause other problems with the home.

If you wanted me to come out and have a look at your home and give you any ideas to what the value of your home maybe or any other things that might help you with the assist of the, assist you the the sale process, or get you a higher price, more than happy to do that. Once again, contact me if you’ve got any question.
