Avoiding the common traps in selling
There are a few common tactics that you should be aware of as a seller, that are not in your interest. At Marble St. we like to name them and be front and centre on how it is not in our benefit to engage in these tactics.

There are a few common tactics that you should be aware of as a seller, that are not in your interest. At Marble St. we like to name them and be front and centre on how it is not in our benefit to engage in these tactics.
Tactic #1
"Buying a listing" is a tactic where the agent deliberately overprices a property in order to please the vendor and get the listing. "Conditioning" follows on from here and involves the property being signed at and put on the market for more than the market will buy. Agents start pushing vendors to reduce the price to make it sellable, blaming the "poor market response" etc.
Inevitably the outcome of this is a price that will not be achievable and disappointment for you the seller. For Marble St. as we are also buying your next home, we must make sure we sell – at the best price. Being honest and realistic in both our favours.

Tactic #2
The next tactic is "underquoting" which involves the property being undervalued in order to make a quick sale and get quick commissions, while vendors receive a significantly lower figure than they should be getting (even though this technique is illegal in some Australian states, it is still widely used). Similar to the above, Marble St. want to get the best possible price in order to fund your next purchase!
It's a win-win situation.

INSERT TESTIMONIAL HERE
Book design is the art of incorporating the content, style, format, design, and sequence of the various components of a book into a coherent whole. In the words of Jan Tschichold, "methods and rules upon which it is impossible to improve, have been developed over centuries. To produce perfect books, these rules have to be brought back to life and applied."
