Unexpected problems can arise but we are experienced enough to have seen ‘it all before’ and can address any issue quickly so as not to delay settlement. Our goal is a successful and hassle-free property sale, and we will negotiate and liaise with all parties to guarantee the best outcome for you.

4 Steps to Selling Success

• Contract

  We prepare the Contract for Sale including the drafting of any relevant special conditions and ordering of all the necessary legal documentation. We will ensure you understand your requirements as a vendor, including Land Tax, GST and the statutory warranties and disclosures.

• Contract Exchange

  We keep you well informed regarding the exchange process and liaise with you regarding any requested amendments. We will communicate with the purchaser’s conveyancer or solicitor on your behalf to ensure all conditions are fulfilled before exchanging Contracts. We attend to the exchange of Contracts and ensure the deposit is held in the safety of the agent’s trust account and if possible is invested to earn you interest on the deposit.

• Financial Liaison

  As part of our service and commitment to delivering a seamless selling process we liaise on your behalf with your nominated financial institution to co-ordinate the effective release of any mortgage/s to ensure settlement occurs in an orderly and timely manner. At this stage our main role is to ensure 3rd party legal requirements have been addressed well before the settlement date.

• Completion

  The time period to complete the property selling cycle can vary. On average, completion  for a property usually takes place six weeks from the date the Contracts are exchanged. We will arrange a settlement with the purchaser’s solicitor/conveyancer and your lender and attend to all settlement arrangements on your behalf to deliver a final transfer of ownership of the property. We vet the settlement figures prepared by the conveyancer/solicitor for the purchaser to ensure that all calculations for an outstanding council, water authority, and strata levies are correct. We manage the settlement and completion process culminating in the sale funds being deposited to your nominated bank account.
