Tips on Selling Your Home

Sole Mandate

In order to help us get the best offer on your property, one of our top tips for selling your home with us is that we advise you to choose a Rawson sole mandate.

A sole mandate is a legal agreement entered into between a seller and an estate agency in terms of which the seller grants the agency the exclusive right to market and sell his or her property within a defined period of time, subject to various terms and conditions.

Granting Rawson a sole mandate will enable us to invest all of our energies and resources in helping find the right buyer for your property in the shortest period of time, with the least inconvenience to you.

Advice for Selling Your Home With a Sole Mandate

Granting Rawson a sole mandate is one of our tips on selling your home as it offers the following benefits:

Best selling price – sole mandates allow buyers to compete on the property, thereby maximising the selling price, while open mandates tend to encourage agents to compete against one another for the sale, thereby running the risk of reducing the selling price.

Maximum advertising – properties on sole mandate are advertised more extensively than properties on open mandate, as the agency will feel more at ease investing considerable amounts of advertising expenditure if it is guaranteed a positive return in the event that its marketing efforts lead to a successful sale. This means that on sole mandate your property will receive maximum exposure.

No commission disputes – as you have only one agent working for you at no cost unless successful.

No pressure to accept offers – when competing against each other, unscrupulous agents may exert pressure on sellers to accept substandard offers so they can secure the deal. With a Rawson sole mandate, you are guarded against such agents and such occurrences.

Commitment – committing to one agent makes him or her more accountable and allows for more time, if necessary, to secure the right buyer and the right price for you.

Security – knowing that only one agent has a set of keys to your property provides peace of mind.
