Allowing him to combine a Bachelor’s Degree in Business (Accounting) with his longstanding passion for all aspects of property, real estate proved the natural career path for Savva Koulouris.
Poised and knowledgeable, Savva brings previous involvement with property development to his established role as Sales Agent in Place Woolloongabba’s highly successful team.
This diverse experience has instilled in Savva an unwavering appreciation of the importance of loyalty and trust in all property transactions, and he believes this starts with communication.
Priding himself on keeping parties ‘in the loop’, Savva recognises that both client satisfaction and successful results are born from the fostering of strong relationships. Transparency is crucial to the manner in which Savva conducts himself. When you ask him a question, you will receive a direct and honest answer; it’s as simple as that!
Growing up in the South Brisbane area, Savva is passionate about the dynamic inner-city lifestyle and its exciting property market. Yet he also holds outstanding expertise in prestige property, which Place Woolloongabba is renowned for selling.
Energetic, driven and more than prepared to put in the hard yards, Savva is not above performing any task; whether it be driving to meet prospective buyers out-of-hours or obtaining cleaning quotes for newly listed properties.
Also fluent in Greek, Savva is dedicated to extensive professional development so that he and his team continue to deliver an unrivalled level of service to each and every client.
The right season depends on a huge variety of factors, including the property itself, its surroundings and area you live in. For example, are you in a tourist spot? A beach suburb? Or are there events on at certain times of the year that turn your normally quiet street or suburb into a car park? There can also be a huge advantage in marketing your home during traditionally quiet periods – winter, for example, or from mid-January into February, when other sellers are still on holidays. With fewer properties to choose from, more of the buyers will get to see your place.
On average, we find our properties take between two and six weeks to sell. This does depend on the area you live in, and you should add another two weeks to this for us to prepare your house and for your marketing campaign.
Regardless of the time of year you decide to sell, there are some absolute must-dos: Thoroughly clean your property from top to bottom – inside and out. Trim overgrown gardens; remove weeds and dead growth and refresh garden beds with mulch. Address any off-putting maintenance issues, such as peeling paint, worn or marked carpets, cracked tiles, dirty grout and loose or rusted gutters (if you’re selling a knockdown or “renovator’s delight”, this step often isn’t necessary). Banish any pet smells. Furnish the home in an attractive but not overly cluttered or personal way, to give potential buyers a perspective on room sizes and to present the home in its best light. Pay for professional photographs and good marketing
Focusing repairs or renovations on the kitchen, bathrooms, paint and street appeal tend to have the best return on investment.
Yes, especially if your home is appealing to premium buyers. We have a team of house stylists that we use and recommend for our Place clients.
Auctions can create a sense of urgency and competition amongst buyers and are suited to situations where the owner wants an unconditional sale. Traditional private sales can be seen as less threatening for some buyers and also offer you more privacy during the sales process. The best option for you depends on your unique situation.
