1. Do some homework. Go online and check for free what prices properties in your area have recently gone for. You are then on a more even keel with the estate agents valuing your home, have a better idea of what to expect and can question their judgement.

2. Choose a number of agents to value your house. I suggest around 6; 3 agents limit you and you need to be happy with the agent you use and get the lowest commission you can.

3. Prepare for the valuation: clean and tidy. Present your house as if the valuer is a viewer. You want the estate agent selling your property to love your house, to believe in it being an excellent purchase and easy to sell. After all if the agent selling the property isn’t interested in it how will they enthuse viewers to become buyers.

4. On the valuation day, be alert for unprofessional conduct. Is the agent on time? If they are late, do they apologise? Is their lateness a sign of disorganisation and inefficiency? Property is big business and you want your transaction to be with the best.

5. Ask the valuer about what marketing they offer: on what websites do their properties appear, what newspapers do they advertise in, how many offices do they have? All play a crucial part in the selling of your property.

6. How do you feel with the agent? If you feel uncomfortable it’s possible that viewers will too.

7. How efficient and keen are they to sell your property? How soon will it take them to have your details ready and viewers lined up? How soon do they contact viewers after a viewing? How long is their contract? The shorter the better so that if you are not happy with their service, you can change agents within a few weeks not months.

Anyone who owns, trades, or collects gold coins would not have a complete collection without a German 20 Mark Gold coin piece. These beautiful gold coins display a wonderfully detailed profile of Kaiser Wilhelm and were minted between 1871 and 1913.

Kaiser Wilhelm, the King of Prussia, was the most powerful man in all of Europe for many years. Otto von Bismarck became the King of Prussia in April of 1871 and united the Alsace-Lorraine region of French and German territories.

The German 20 Mark gold coin is one of the most famous of German gold coins in the world. Otto von Bismarck created common currencies as well as a central bank and legal system.

The German Mark is a popular and common unit of money that was found throughout much of Europe and Germany before the unification of Germany. A wide variety of German gold coins were minted in the following 60 years, using different standards and materials.

Standard gold coins have been available in 20 Mark denominations since 1871. As Prussia was the largest and wealthiest of all the provinces within the Prussian Empire at the time, these coins are especially coveted by collectors and investors from around the world. The German 20 Mark gold coin was issued between 1871 to 1913, measures 22.5 cm in diameter and contains a .2304 gold content.

The obverse side of the head displays Kaiser Wilhelm’s profile facing right, surrounded by the words, Wilhelm Deutscher Kaiser Knig V. Preussen. Otto von Bismarck Kaiser Wilhelm is considered to be the father of the German Empire. He served as Germany’s First Chancellor.

The other side displays the familiar Deutsches Reich German Eagle with wings spread and the 20 Mark denotations. The Kaiser Wilhelm II coin displays the profile of Wilhelm II, who was the last Kaiser of Germany. The edge is exquisitely designed with leaves and cinquefoils and lettering.
