    About this ebook

    'Sold' is probably the only book you’ll ever need to successfully sell any property.

    Written by experienced real estate agent, Marc Banwell, this is the definitive guide to achieving the best price for your property in the shortest possible time. Created originally for the highly complex UK market, this guide contains golden nuggets of inside information that will apply equally well in most countries.

    This is not a guide to selling without an estate agent. In fact it’s quite the opposite. Agents perform a vital role – more than you’ve probably realised. You just have to find a good one, and 'Sold' will show you how to hand pick the best agent in your town. This is one of the most crucial decisions you’ll make; having the right agent on your side is the key to making the sale of your property happen.

    Marc will show you how to find the best agent, wherever you live; he’ll reveal the industry's best kept secrets, show you which little-known questions to ask, find out how agents really operate, how to negotiate the right deal, and how to get the best from your agent to make sure they do all the hard work.

    In this guide, you'll learn how combining inside information with tried and tested top tips for presenting your home at its best will ensure that you get the right results.

    Whether you are selling for the first time, or have moved more times than you care to remember, by the time you finish this book, you will have all the knowledge you’ll need to sell your house for the best price – fast!

      Welcome to the definitive guide to successfully selling your property for the best price - fast!

      This guide has been written primarily with the UK in mind. However, the principles contained here should apply equally well in most countries - wherever there is an established market for buying and selling residential property. The process of buying and selling in England and Wales is different from other countries, and is in many ways more complicated (Scotland is different again) but the tips and advice will work whatever the legal anomalies of each country.

      Whether you live in Europe, the USA or Canada, Australia or New Zealand, this guide will give you golden nuggets of inside information that should work equally well to help you achieve the results you want - in the fastest possible time.

      If you’re reading this, then I will take it that you have a property to sell. You may be looking to sell for the first time - people often talk about first time buyers, but there’s rarely any mention of first time sellers. There are some big decisions to make when you’re selling, and I’m here to help you make the right ones and avoid expensive mistakes and painful pitfalls.

      Perhaps you have sold properties before but not had the most positive experience in the past. Either way, I’ll hold your hand and guide you through what can be a highly complex process, and show you how to get the best possible results.

      How can I do this? Because I am a real estate agent. I have been successfully selling property for more than 10 years. I became an estate agent after a career in sales and marketing, and I quickly realised that there was a big difference in the levels of care and service being offered, and that my passion for giving great customer service and genuinely wanting to help people move home was not typical of the industry.

      It has often been said that you can’t fast-track life experience, and now that I have reached the age of 50, I have gained invaluable experience of dealing with people from all walks of life, of all backgrounds and ages, and helped them all through the tricky process of selling their properties and moving on with their lives. I have also bought and sold properties many times myself and have learned the hard way how to - eventually - do it the easy way.

      We’ve all heard that moving home is one of life’s most stressful experiences. Yet it doesn’t have to be that way - if you know how. I’ll show you how you can minimise the stress. You can even enjoy it. Ok, that may be stretching things a little, but if you can see the process as an adventure, then you will get through it easier than you ever thought possible.

      In this guide, I’ll show you how a positive attitude, a bit of planning, an insight into the psychology of your buyer, a healthy dose of common sense, together with some invaluable tricks of the trade and other inside information, will make it happen.

      Whether you are moving for the first time, or have moved more times than you care to remember, when you have read this book you will have all the knowledge you’ll need to sell your home for the best price - fast!
