When it comes to selling property, time is money, and most sellers therefore want to get their property sold for the best price as quickly as possible.

Selling your property faster in five easy steps

Agents from the Seeff Property Group therefore advise that there should be no time wasted by testing the market.

Sellers would simply be wasting their own time. What's more, experience has also shown time and again, that going onto the market at a price which is out of kilter with peer properties inevitably ends up selling for less than what it could have.

The top reason why a property is not selling is usually because it is overpriced, says Tiaan Pretorius, manager for Seeff Centurion. Unfortunately, owners often believe their properties are worth more. The reality, however, is that if your property is priced above the market, buyers will simply look at other properties as buyers generally look for the best value they can find.
