How the right agent can maximise your homes value!

Selling your home is a significant life event, one that often involves substantial financial stakes, so it’s only natural that you want to get the best possible price for your property. Having Morne Prinsloo from RE/MAX Masters in Roodepoort on your side can make a world of difference in your final sale price.

Morne Prinsloo, a Property Practitioner at RE/MAX Masters in Roodepoort, understands the intricacies of the real estate market. In a competitive market under pressure from high interest rates and rising living costs, it might be tempting to consider a DIY approach or choose the agent who gives you the highest valuation for your home. However, Morne Prinsloo advises against this.

"While it may be tempting to list your home independently to save on commission, there is a lot more to selling a home than placing an ad online. Unless you have more than a passing acquaintance with several fields, including finance and property law, a successful sale at the best possible price is unlikely. Similarly, the highest valuation is seldom the best valuation and is often an indication that the agent has their commission rather than your best interests at heart, especially if the valuation is notably higher than the others."

Morne Prinsloo believes that the most critical decision you make when selling your home is when you appoint an agent. A skilled and experienced agent like Morne Prinsloo will have the following attributes and abilities to ensure a seamless transaction and the fastest sale at the best possible price:
