The International Property Associates was formed with the objective of providing a platform for committed full time agents who prefer the freedom of working independently, within a professional, organised framework. The International Property Associates provides for dedicated persons who are attracted to maximum earning potential. Agents joining as associates earn up to 100% commission whilst making a contribution in listings and mandates, sales and sharing the relevant overheads and advertising costs.

The International Property Associates operates Associates, interested in establishing satellite offices around the country, will need to have the mind of an entrepreneur, a good business background, managing skills, a professional image, high ethical standards and a good reputation within his or her community. The individual will also have the responsibility of recruiting quality, like- minded agents who will share overheads and make contributions in the form of listings, mandates, sales and sharing the relevant overheads and advertising costs.

Look no further when trying to find a suitable real estate agent or realtor that will provide you with the best advice when buying or selling your home, apartment, flat, commercial property or in fact any property in South Africa. Our associates are proud to offer you a quality service in providing individuals who are committed to delivering results. 
The biggest mistake Sellers make is to overprice their property. Pricing your home realistically will ensure your property sells within an acceptable time frame. Overpricing will lead to your house being over-exposed, and potential buyers will be suspicious of why your home has taken so long to sell. Should they decide to make an offer, it will probably be well below market related as a result. Even if a buyer is prepared to pay the high price, the chances are the buyer will not get a loan as the bank will not approve the value.

Sole Mandate
This contracts the agent to sell your home and outlines the responsibilities and obligations of both parties. It also protects you, the seller from a double commission claim should a sale involve more than one agent. You can feel secure in the knowledge that only one person / agency is responsible for access to your home, and for accurate feed back on the Marketing process.

Marketing Strategy
We provide a clear outline of how we will market your home 24/7 , showing only qualified buyers at reasonable times. While being sensitive to your circumstances, we rely on your co-operation for access as often, serious buyers require viewings without much notice. For Sale boards attract buyers who are already happy with the area and the Street appeal of your home, and are imperative to have on display. Likewise, we realize that Show Houses are an inconvenience, but are needed to adequately expose your home to the market, and receive direct feed back on its pricing.

Price your home to Sell
It is easy for an agent to put a price on your home without doing the necessary market research, but if this price is too high and the prospective purchaser does not find the value compared to the prices of other houses in the area, the house will not sell.  Eventually this will result in a reduced sale price.

DON’T ALLOW YOUR HOUSE TO BECOME STALE “STALE” 
It isn’t possible to price your home without first determining its value!
We recommend a marketing price, which is established by doing a Comparative Market Analysis of similar homes sold recently in your area.  One of the instruments used by The International Property Associates is the Residential Property Price Ranger.    RPPR is a supplier of the RPPR and CPT property information services. For years They have been supplying property agents in the Western Cape with accurate, reliable property data in the form of printed reports.
 
REMEMBER THAT THE PURCHASER IN THE MARKET PLACE WILL DETERMINE THE VALUE! ONLY HE KNOWS WHAT HE IS PREPARED TO PAY FOR YOUR HOUSE.

EVERY PROPERTY HAS MORE THAN 1 PRICE……

• What you as the Seller think its worth
• What the agent values it at.
• What the buyer is prepared to offer
• The final settlement price.

PLEASE BEWARE OF OVER VALUATION! IT CAN DAMAGE THE SALE BECAUSE:

• It loses prospective buyers
• It eliminates offers
• It reduces the agents enthusiasm
• It limits financing
• It is used as a bouncer
• It eventually means a lower price

THE CHOICE TO MAKE YOUR HOME SELLABLE IS YOURS!
