Sellers Checklist

  • Research: study recent sales and current listings in the area to determine a reasonable listing price
  • Appraisal/Pricing: get your property appraised by reputable agents. Receiving more than one appraisal will give you a better idea of the current market pricing and will make you more educated and confident in the decided listing price.
  • Employ an agent: select an agent that you are confident in. Commission rates should never be the deciding factor; you need a professional who can provide you with the best service, knowledge and maximum exposure for your property.
  • Finance: if you need to, speak to a lender or finance broker about paying out an existing loan or re-financing.
  • Presentation: speak to your agent or a professional property presenter about what may or may not need to be done to make your property more appealing to a buyer.
  • Marketing: home opens, inspections and exposure are the key to selling your home. Your agent will advise on the best marketing strategy for your homes area, target demographic and budget.
  • Communication: your agent will communicate with you on a regular basis as to the progress of your listing. Make sure you discuss the performance of your marketing mediums and feedback from inspections to assess whether there is room for improvement, or whether the buyer enquiry is successful, taking into account the local current market.
  • Offer: your agent will submit any offers received on your property. Discuss your price options, settlement time frames and clauses with your agent. Make sure you are well educated and happy with everything in the agreement before you accept and sign off. Diarise any clause dates, your agent will chase these and inform you of their approval.
  • Moving: organise your electricity, telephone, gas, internet and removalists once a settlement date has been confirmed and all contract clauses have been met.
  • Settlement: leave all the house keys with your agent and arrange your move to occur prior to the settlement date. Update your contents insurance and notify the relevant authorities of your change of address.
