FP TV (151) ACCURATE VALUATIONS: How do you know you’re getting the right price? (Watch/Read/Listen)

 

 

PODCAST: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fife-properties/episodes/FP-TV-EP-147-ACCURATE-VALUATIONS-How-do-you-know-youre-getting-the-right-price-e26vhv9

 

Price is everything when selling your home. It doesn’t matter where you live, what you live in or what condition it’s in – if the price is wrong, you’ll be out of pocket or stuck where you are.

 

Accurate valuations are fundamental to a successful move, but they’re not an exact science. You might even have noticed similar homes selling for wildly different prices on the same street.

 

A bit like a recipe, an accurate valuation requires a delicate balance of ingredients for the perfect result, including:

 

  • Attracting buyers in the first place
  • Getting you the best possible price
  • Passing the surveyor’s valuation
  • Meeting your ideal moving date
  • Securing your next dream home

When just one of those doesn’t work out, disappointment and doubt can sour relations with your agent if your move looks at risk.

Our business and reputation depend on selling your home, how much we achieve and how soon we get it, so our blog this week covers everything you need to know about how we get it right.

EP 76 THE WEALTH CREATION SHOW: How To Accelerate Your Income

 

One of the best ways to accelerate your income is to leverage your current position. When you think of leverage, what comes to mind?

 

If you’re like most people, it’s some form of financial leverage. You probably also think leverage is risky. But the truth is financial leverage is only one of six different types of leverage. If you aren’t using leverage, then you are working harder than you should to earn less than you deserve — and that isn’t going to make you wealthy.

 

So, you might be wondering how can I accelerate my income and what does leveraging your position mean?

 

Luckily, you don’t need to head back to school to learn how as Richard Cook and one of the UK’s most successful property investors, Jim Parker is on hand to take you through how using different types of leveraging can accelerate your income and propel you into wealthy success.
