Seller’s Ultimate Checklist: 3081 Property Prep & Campaign Success
From declutter to contracts, marketing to move-out—George Bottas provides the complete, practical to-do list for sellers in Bellfield, Heidelberg Heights, and Heidelberg West.
1. Deep Clean and Declutter
- Create a blank slate before open homes and photography. Store personal items and go neutral where possible.
2. Repairs and Presentation
- Address outstanding fixes: doors, fittings, paintwork, garden, driveway. Professional touch-ups can boost appeal affordably.
3. Professional Photography & Styling
- Book local experts for images that sell lifestyle as well as space. George provides tips and trusted contacts.
4. Documentation on Standby
- Title, permits, insurance, rates, contract draft. Early organisation averts late delays.
5. Smart Marketing
- George reviews each portal, print, and digital option—tailoring spend to your target buyer and market urgency.
6. Open Communication
- Weekly—and as needed—updates on enquiries, feedback, offers, and campaign tweaks.
7. Pre-Settlement Checklist
- Book removal, arrange final clean, meter readings, change utilities, redirect mail, and hand over keys smoothly.
Bonus: Bottas’ “Stress Less” Tips
- Work with a local who knows your pocket.
- Ask questions early and often.
- Remember: the right process = better price and a smoother move.
