The selling process

  1. In NSW, your agent will require a contract to commence advertising your property. The agent will discuss whether you wish to sell by private treaty (advertise online for a set price or price range) or by auction. We will prepare the contract in accordance with your instructions and will provide your real estate agent with a copy of the marketing contract in approximately 2 to 3 working days, sometimes sooner.

  2. Once the parties have negotiated the sale price, the contracts will either exchange with the real estate agent, or the parties’ representatives. Residential properties are exchanged with a 5-day cooling off period unless a certificate is provided upon request to waive the cooling off period. Once the matter has cooled off or exchanged without any conditions, the full deposit is paid and the parties are bound to settle the contract.

  3. Between exchange and settlement you will need to vacate the property, if the property is your primary residence, arrange for a removalist and disconnection of services. Our office will communicate with your lender (if applicable) to book in your settlement and provide you with settlement figures to review and approve.
