Cape Sky would like to congratulate South Africa for hosting a super World Cup! The aftermath of the Fifa 2010 World Cup is upon us and as visitors go back home, the Cape will simmer down once more, with fewer holiday makers expected for the Christmas season. Many suggest that these holidays will be quieter than previous years due to the large number of tourists that came here for the World Cup, but as holiday accommodation all over the Cape becomes cheaper again, this is an ideal time to visit the Mother City.
De-clutter
Uncluttering makes every room look spacious, stylish, and feel neater. If a house is cluttered with too many ornaments, toys, books, and other knick knacks, buyers have trouble imagining themselves in it. By removing or storing things you don't need, you create a roomy, comfortable feeling that will be inviting to prospective home buyers, and they will be able to see all the features of your house easily. Remember, when in doubt, throw it out or put it into storage!
The short term rentals in Cape Town are well furnished and can provide an ideal solution for people in need of a longer 2 or 3 month vacation which will be more affordable as you will pay a monthly rate. It is also the perfect solution for students or families relocating where the need arises for a short term let until more permanent accommodation can be found, or until their belongings arrive. Other possible short term rental options include home owners who are busy renovating or building, and require a house or apartment that is fully furnished for a few months.
These short term rentals in Cape Town do come about and are very effective in securing some additional income for the few winter months that are generally very quite and where holiday rentals are difficult to procure.
When you let out your apartment or house on a short term basis like this you have a better chance of occupying your property and gaining some additional income. If you want to rent out your property on a short term basis, or if you want to look at some of the short term rentals in Cape Town that are available, please contact Cape Sky Realtors!
When looking at the differences between a sole mandate and a joint mandate, you will see that a sole mandate can be much more convenient and beneficial for you as a home seller. The house sale will receive priority, which is the first and most important factor to consider.
When a joint mandate is selected, each agent will have to compete for the sale and as there is no guarantee, they do not spend the same amount of resources on marketing your property as they would if they received a sole mandate. The house sale would benefit dramatically with a sole mandate being offered to an agent who will give your property the attention it deserves.
An estate agent with a sole mandate is also more likely to negotiate a better sale price than if they were competing with various other agencies. This agent is also able to open up the mandate to other agencies for a quicker sale, which will result in the sharing of the commission. The seller will not be affected by this at all, and you will still receive the attention and investment that a sole mandate provides.
Another aspect to consider by choosing a sole mandate is that all the enquiries and communications will be handled by the sole mandate holder for the house sale, which alleviates any stress and hassles for the seller. It is far more convenient to hand over your property to a single estate agent who will market your property effectively.
As you can see, the sole mandate option gives you as the home seller a better option for achieving a good sale price and making the entire process easier. If you want to find out more about selling your house, and learning more about getting a sole mandate with Cape Sky Realtors, please contact our friendly estate agent, “King” Arthur today!
