Find the right Real Estate Agent
Conveyancing Chatswood can help you find the right real estate agent & negotitate a better deal.
The 'right' agent is the one that you feel you can trust and work with to achieve the best result.
Set a price for your property
As the vendor, you can set the price at whatever you want but it must be realistic if you're serious about selling. We can advise you because we are Sydney property lawyers & have local knowledge and experience to know what your property is worth. If you want a completely unbiased professional opinion we can commission a Licensed Valuer.
Prepare legal documents
Requirements vary from state to state and your Conveyancing solicitor at Conveyancing Chatswood is the best person to advise you about legal documentation, which is likely to include:
- A contract note / contract of sale containing the property disclosure information.
- A date for settlement of the sale, normally 30, 60 or 90 days.
- A Certificate of Title - we will need this when appointing your agent to confirm that you are the current owner and show if there are any encumbrances on the property.
- If selling an apartment or townhouse: Body Corporate Certificate, rates, council and utility fees.
We can talk to your agent about advertising
The right advertising plan is essential to generate interest and ensure a successful sale. Remember that 9 out of 10 people looking for a property use the internet so it's important your agent explains the range of online advertising options available. A Featured Property can significantly increase the number of property views and enquiries!
Arrange a building inspection
Because many buyers will ask for a building inspection before buying, it's worth considering arranging an independent building inspection. This will save time during the sales process and alert you to any problems before you put your house on the market. We can arrange this for you.
Prepare your property for sale
We've left it till last, but it's the most important step in maximising your sale price so don't leave it to the last minute! Consider what can be done to the exterior and the interior of the property to maximise its appeal and decide whether to make the most of what you've got or hire a specialist property presentation team. You've made the decision to sell and now there's plenty to think about and do.
