Open For Inspection
To encourage and increase the numbers of potential buyers to view your property, we make your home available for open inspections at a set time weekly – usually Saturdays & Sundays. Many people will visit an open for inspection and only then become a person of interest. In addition, individual inspections are conducted by appointment when requested. We always record the names and contact details of people inspecting your home for buyer follow up. These are often a source of further negotiation.
Sales Team Inspections
Every week our sales consultants inspect all new property listings. This allows the team to familiarise themselves with your property and consider who they may contact to invite to view your property. This liaison also occurs with the extensive C.J. Keane & Co property managment department so that potential investors can be notified about your property.
Mailouts
We deliver a letter to property owners in the district advising them that the property is for sale and inviting expressions of interest. Quite often a buyer is found in your own neighbourhood. A regular monthly mail out to C.J. Keane landlords includes a flyer about solid investment opportunities which includes all new listings each month.
