Getting the Full Service

It’s commonly accepted that sellers engage a real estate agent to market and sell their home, but who is representing them when it comes time for them to buy?

The most crucial element of any real estate transaction is the negotiation process.

It doesn’t matter whether you are the seller or the buyer in the transaction, the negotiation process starts way before any offer is made.

In fact, if you start your negotiation at the point when an offer is made, you’ve most probably lost the opportunity to maximize your level of success.

Negotiation is an art and must be learned; it’s a rare thing to be born with this skill and takes years of experience and practice to master.

Real estate negotiations aren’t for the feint hearted, unskilled or inexperienced.

As a professional auctioneer and real estate agent, I spend the majority of my time gathering the information I need to put my clients in the strongest negotiating position when the right moment arrives.

Whilst the majority of my work is spent negotiating on behalf of my clients who are selling their home, it’s of significant advantage to them when they engage me to negotiate the purchase of their next property. My knowledge, access to information and experience in this field can assist secure the right property and has been known to prevent major financial negotiating disasters.

My sellers enjoy this exclusive service at no further cost. Why pay for half the service?

"We strongly recommend Sandra Berry Real Estate following our experience with Sandra in assisting us to buy our new home.

We were looking to downsize, sell our house in Stirling and buy a smaller house nearer to Adelaide over a twelve-month time frame. My wife and I discussed our options with Sandra and following this initial meeting, we elected to purchase a property before selling our current house in several months’ time. We quickly found a unit that was selling by auction.

Sandra kindly offered to look over the property, being marketed by a different real estate agent, and we discussed a purchase strategy. This led us to setting our maximum price and Sandra agreeing to attend the auction. On auction day Sandra was great, guiding me in bidding and helping us secure our new property at much less than our maximum price.

It has been great working with Sandra so far, now we are preparing our house for sale, again with Sandra’s guidance."

I found Sandra Berry very professional. I think she understands how stressful selling your house can be and was very engaged with my idea off what I see as a successful outcome and how I can sell my property with a minimum of fuss and stress. She engages you as part of the team and gives you options on how you can help to maximise your appeal to potential buyers. The sale result was good, quick and stress free. Thankyou Sandra.

To the Team at Sandra Berry Real Estate. Thank you for handling the sale of my parents property. It was your efforts that found the property which was their home and they were very happy for the time they spent there. You were very personable and professional so we were more than happy to deal with you again to re-sell their property. I hope the new owners are also pleased with their purchase. We would not hesitate to deal with you again.
