The Selling Process
-
CHOOSE AN AGENT
Do your homework when researching an agency. Talk to their clients as they will give you honest feedback. Feel free to speak to ours. Another option is you may like to knock on the door of someone who has a For Sale sign in their front yard
-
READ LISTING AGREEMENT CAREFULLY
Remember we don’t charge for any advertising but most agencies do, so please read your agreement and look for any hidden or extras fees/charges. Ask questions.
-
SETTING THE LISTING PRICE
Compare your house to similar ones sold or currently listed in your surrounding suburbs. Ask your agent for a “comparative market analysis” (CMA) that will provide these figures.
-
PROPERTY INSPECTIONS
We will only bring qualified motivated buyers through your property at a time that is convenient to you. They may be more comfortable if you are not home.
-
CHOOSE AN SOLICITOR/CONVEYANCER
They are there to walk you through the process, especially if things go wrong.
-
INSURANCE
Remember once a contract is signed, the property should be co-insured ie keep your insurance current until the property settles. Also if it will be vacant for an extended period of time, advise your insurance company.
- CONTRACT OF SALE SIGNED
- DEPOSIT PAID BY PURCHASER
- PROPERTY GOES UNCONDITIONAL (all conditions completed) and we put a SOLD sticker on your sign.
- PURCHASER COMPLETES PRE-SETTLEMENT INSPECTION (optional)
- SETTLEMENT DAY
- Ensure you have vacated the property and left it clean and tidy. Keys will need to be handed into your conveyancer or agent by the due time. Please let us know if you need any assistance moving - we have a covered trailer you can borrow.
