Everything you need to know about selling with Team Toner — from appraisal to sold sign.

Start with an honest appraisal

Every good sale starts with an accurate number. A free appraisal from Team Toner is built on current market evidence and recent comparable sales in your street and suburb — not on what we think you want to hear.

Be wary of an appraisal that sits noticeably above the rest. Overpricing costs you the first few weeks of buyer attention, which are the weeks that matter most.

  • Recent comparable sales, not last year's prices
  • Honest feedback on what buyers will and won't pay for
  • A realistic price range and the evidence behind it

Choose the right method of sale

Enquiries From, deadline sale/tender, price by negotiation, auction or an asking price — each suits a different property, timeframe and level of buyer demand. There is no single right answer, which is why we recommend the method that best suits your property and the current market.

Prepare your property properly

Presentation influences price more than most sellers expect, and the highest-return work is usually the cheapest: declutter, deep clean, tidy the grounds and fix the small things buyers notice.

We'll walk through your home with you before photography and prioritise what is genuinely worth doing — and tell you what isn't.

Market to the widest possible audience

Your campaign includes professional photography, free aerial photography, premium placement on the major property portals, signage, and Team Toner social and video marketing.

Reach matters, but so does follow-up. Every enquiry is called back, and every viewing is followed up — that's where offers actually come from.

Negotiate, then see it through

When offers arrive we negotiate on your behalf to achieve the strongest possible result, then stay involved right through to settlement — managing conditions, finance dates and your solicitor's requirements so nothing stalls.
