Selling a Property - Easy 6 Step Guide

Step 1

The first step to selling a property is finding a suitable and reputable agent with expertise in the area the property is located. You will then need to sign an agency agreement with the agent.

Step 2

The next step is to contact our office and advise us you are selling your property. We will provide you with an instruction sheet to complete and some items to attend to. Once we receive your completed instruction sheet, we will then draft the contract and issue it to the agent.

Step 3

The agent will arrange the advertising and inspections of the property. We will negotiate with potential buyers on your behalf, and obtain your instructions where required. Once you accept an offer from a purchaser, either the agent or our office will arrange for contracts to be signed and dated i.e. exchanged.

Step 4

Once contracts are exchanged, we will provide you with documents to sign, certify your identity documents, and provide you with a summary letter outlining the important dates and information. We will also liaise with your mortgagee in preparation for settlement.

Step 5

Prior to the settlement date, we will provide you with settlement figures for your approval, outlining adjustments for rates, and the amount due to you on settlement. We will also provide you with a copy of our invoice, which will be factored into the settlement figures for payment on settlement.

Step 6

Settlement will take place electronically on PEXA. Once settlement has been completed, we will inform you and the agent so they can release the keys to the purchaser and transfer you the deposit (less any commission and marketing fees owing). We will also provide with another summary letter with all the relevant paperwork you will require for future reference.
