10 Keys to successful Property SAle

 You’ve decided to put your property on the market. You might start by researching recent sales in your area, checking online listings, and speaking with agents to get an idea of value. 

 Engage a trusted conveyancer early—like Affordable Conveyancing—to prepare your contract of sale. We can also recommend reliable real estate agents, photographers, and other professionals if needed. 

 In NSW, you can’t advertise your property without a prepared contract. We’ll draft this for you, including the required disclosure documents such as title searches, zoning certificates, and any special conditions. 

 Once the contract is ready, your agent can begin marketing—online, in print, and through open homes. They’ll work to generate buyer interest and keep you informed of enquiries. 

 As buyers inspect your property, offers may start coming in. Your agent will communicate these to you and guide you on negotiations. 

 This is where you decide on the sale price and conditions. Some buyers may request contract amendments. We’ll advise you on whether changes are reasonable and protect your interests. 

  Once you agree on price and terms, the buyer’s conveyancer will review the contract and possibly request final changes. Until exchange of contracts, you can still accept higher offers unless you’ve instructed your agent otherwise. 

 Buyers will usually arrange building, pest, or strata inspections. We’ll liaise with your agent to ensure access is given while keeping your sale moving forward. 

 Once the buyer is ready and you’ve agreed to final terms, both parties sign identical contracts. The buyer pays the deposit, and the contracts are dated by your conveyancer or agent. If a 66W Certificate is provided, there’s no cooling-off period. 

  After exchange, we coordinate with your lender (if applicable) and prepare for settlement. On settlement day, we confirm everything is in order before you receive the balance of the purchase price. Your agent will then release the keys to the buyer.
