We are committed to excellence in residential real estate sales and property management, and our distinct approach, the WISE way, is at the heart of our service. The core values of We Inform, Support, and Educate are the foundation of our approach, ensuring successful real estate transactions for homeowners.
We…
Inform,
Support &
Educate
We cringe when homeowners get tricked into signing with agents who promise the world but deliver disappointment after signing with them. Tricks and traps are all too common practice in the industry and a driving reason why we started our business in 2014. Ultimately, these tactics often leave homeowners with less money in their pockets and their properties lingering on the market for longer than expected.
Our approach is founded on the belief that if people knew better, they could do better when transacting in real estate. That’s why we inform, support & educate our home sellers before signing with us about the pitfalls in real estate, how to avoid them and how to benefit by not using them.
We Inform
This approach is deeply rooted in the wisdom of Benjamin Franklin, who once said, “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” This quote profoundly underscores our belief that informed decisions lead to the most favourable outcomes.
We are firm advocates of empowering our clients with knowledge, as it equips them to navigate the complexities of the real estate landscape with confidence and certainty. So many home sellers feel left in the dark when selling their homes. We willingly supply comprehensive and up-to-date information throughout the sales campaign. The aim is to keep home sellers in control of their sales.
This includes:
Realistic appraisal ranges based on comparable data to assess placing your home on the market.
Expert advice on potential home improvements, focusing on returns on investment.
Timely updates on the evolving market landscape and its potential impact on your property’s sale.
Pre-sale building and Pest Inspections to proactively uncover any issues with your home before they become deal-breakers.
Educated information about possibilities, opportunities, choices and potential risks.
Unfiltered buyer feedback to provide you with genuine insights.
Access to comprehensive reports that allow you to monitor buyer interactions on online portals.
A unique live offer process with home sellers present and in complete control. This brings certainty when choosing to accept, decline or negotiate offers.
This comprehensive information empowers you to make well-informed decisions that best serve your interests. Whether this is to hold the property for longer, rent it out or sell it, our interests are in empowering you to make informed decisions to benefit you and your family.
We Support
Selling your home is a journey filled with diverse practical challenges. At Frost Real Estate, we understand that every homeowner’s path is unique, and your requirements may vary. We’ve had the privilege of assisting individuals in numerous situations, providing support tailored to their specific needs.
Our approach goes beyond offering advice. It might be as small as picking up some cushions from the shop or loaning you a throw rug for the bed. Whatever it is, we love helping where we can.
We’ve even overseen numerous projects, from simple garden restorations and bedroom updates to complete home makeovers. It is not uncommon for us to fund home updates for our clients, helping them cover the cost of improvements until settlement. We often feel compelled to do this in circumstances where we know our help will result in a better result for our home seller.
Check out some of our past projects on our Projects page. We work with trusted suppliers such as painters, carpet installers, gardeners, rubbish collectors and staging companies to ensure your property is ready for the market.
Additionally, we love to help our homeowners secure their next home by representing them in the purchase by offering advice or by negotiating with the agent on their behalf. We do not charge existing clients for this service as we intend to see our home sellers benefit as much as they can from the skills and expertise we can offer.
While not all these services are essential to selling your home, we are here to support you wherever possible to enhance the potential return on your investment. We have ten years of real-life examples that testify to our commitment to making your home-selling experience as smooth as possible.
We Educate
Selling and buying real estate is fraught with risk in an industry considered one of the least trustworthy. Many people spend a lifetime waiting to sell their homes, only to find themselves in tricky sales processes and falling for common tricks.
We’re here to make a change. Our mission isn’t just about teaching but empowering you with the knowledge to navigate the world of real estate confidently and ensuring you’re well-prepared to tackle the complexities of selling your home.
We educate on specific points, focusing on what we call the three P’s – Property Presentation, Price, and Power.
Property Presentation: This involves everything from staging and styling to addressing maintenance issues and creating effective marketing materials. We are deeply committed to enhancing the appeal of your property, ensuring that it captivates potential buyers when they are looking online and at walk-through inspections.
Our firm belief is in doing only those things that significantly contribute to selling your home at a higher value. We avoid spending your money on advertising materials that won’t benefit your sale, such as newspaper ads, and we certainly refrain from anything that could detract from the potential buyer viewing your home, such as a video walk-through.
Price: We demystify the appraisal range and show that it’s based on comparable sales data, giving you a solid starting point for advertising your property. Buyers are often well-educated on where property is likely to sit in today’s market. If your price is too high, you can expect to hear crickets, and if you price it too low, be prepared to attract a large crowd of the wrong buyers. An advertising range based on a genuine appraisal that reflects the home seller’s expectations is the best way to attract the right buyers to your home.
Power: This aspect is all about negotiation power, which starts from the very beginning of the process and continues until the end. Maintaining the upper hand throughout the sale is crucial, and our process ensures this through private inspections, early building and pest inspections, and live negotiations with the vendor present.
Our goal is to provide you with the knowledge that allows you to make the best decisions and achieve your real estate goals. We’re dedicated to empowering you with real estate insights that truly matter. Our overall purpose is to leave you with more money in your pocket when you sell, making your home-selling experience as smooth and profitable as possible.
