Tips for Selling


1. Promotion

Being members of all the key property portals, John Hoole Estate Agents can market your property to the widest possible audience. If your Brighton or Hove based property isn’t listed on Rightmove or OnTheMarket for example, many buyers simply won’t know about it – particularly those searching from further afield.

2. Delightful décor

Touch up any scuffs and scrapes with a spot of fresh paint.

3. Clutter free

Help buyers visualise the space by de-cluttering your house.

4. Freshen up

Make sure your property smells fresh and clean. Banish any cigarette or pet smells, open some windows and brew some coffee.

5. Kerb appeal

First impressions count, so make sure the front of your property looks inviting. Attractive pot plants and a weed-free garden can make all the difference.

6. Spring clean

Dust away those cobwebs, polish your furniture and clean your windows to give potential buyers a good first impression.

7. Fix it

From a leaking tap to replacing your light bulbs, make sure all those little fixing jobs are done and dusted – work in progress sends out the wrong message to potential buyers.

8. Accessorize

Add those finishing touches with fresh flowers and lighting to create a welcoming atmosphere.

9. Depersonalise

Buyers need to make their own personal connection with your home. Remember it’s easier for visitors to work from a blank canvas.

10. Be realistic

We’ll keep you up to date and advise you on changing market conditions that might affect the selling price of your home.
