Selling tips

After 700+ settled sales across Sydney's St George region, the pattern is clear: the five most costly seller mistakes are overpricing based on need, skipping pre-sale presentation, choosing agents on the highest quote, wrong sale method for the property type, and ignoring digital-first buyers. Michael Kalinovski of Century 21 Bayview explains the data-backed fixes that consistently add $50,000+ to sale prices in suburbs from Rockdale to Hurstville.

In the competitive St George property market, the difference between a good result and a great result comes down to presentation and marketing. Professional styling returns 5-10x its cost, properties with twilight photography receive 40% more enquiries, and correctly priced homes sell 15% faster.
