The Pilot 'Opinion Of Home Value'

We are constantly researching the market in your local area. The estimated price range is based on the most recent available data of comparable sales for similar homes in your area. We'll give you a report on recent home sales comparable to yours and talk you through the market.

How to attract the highest price

We'll recommend ways to increase the appeal of your property and attract the highest sale price, in the shortest possible time. By far the most popular way to sell your home is by 'Private Treaty'. We advise you on how long homes in your area are currently taking to sell. There is no fixed time limit for the marketing phase of your property.

Open home showings

The advantage of showing potential purchasers through your home at the same time is it creates competition and an ‘urgency’ to buy. Often we have held an Open Home and received multiple offers to purchase on the same day, giving the home owner a strong negotiating position. We invite comments from all purchasers and provide you with a written and/or telephone report afterwards. Your Pilot agent will follow a checklist to secure your home when leaving.
