Step 2
First impressions matter. A well-presented home attracts more attention and stronger offers. Here are our top tips:
- Declutter to maximise space and light
- Tidy up the front garden for kerb appeal
- Touch up paintwork and fix visible defects
- Keep outdoor areas clean and rubbish-free
- Add pleasant touches like candles or fresh scents
A clean, bright and welcoming space helps buyers visualise themselves living there — and can directly impact the final sale price.

Now that your home is ready, choosing the right agent is key. At Apex Real Estate, we pride ourselves on transparency, responsiveness, and a client-first mindset. You’ll have a dedicated team guiding you throughout the process — no jargon, no pushy sales tactics, just results that speak for themselves.

Step 6
When a buyer submits an offer, we’ll notify you immediately both verbally and in writing. Before accepting, we carry out due diligence on the buyer to assess:
- Financial position (e.g. mortgage, cash)
- Chain status
- Timeline for completion

- Rejecting an Offer – We’ll negotiate further to secure a better outcome

Once all enquiries are answered and finances are in place:
- Both parties sign contracts
- The buyer pays their deposit (usually 10%)
- A completion date is agreed
Now’s the time to arrange removals and final preparations — the sale is legally binding at this point.
