Steps to Selling Real Estate in Australia.

You've decided to sell your primary residence or investment property in Australia. It's a significant decision, but deciding to sell is just the beginning. It can be a lengthy process if you've never sold a home before. We break down the steps to ensure your sale goes as smoothly as possible and without any unpleasant surprises.

Prepare yourself and your property for the selling process.

To increase your chances of selling, address any reasonable home maintenance issues and small renovations before putting your house on the market. It also helps to declutter and present your property in the best light possible.

Select a real estate broker

When picking a real estate agent, ask your family and friends for referrals. You can also go to open houses to meet local real estate agents and learn about their sales strategies first-hand.

Once you've narrowed down your choices, interview a few to see who is the best fit. Ask about their fee’s and charges right away, and don't be afraid to haggle.

Before signing with an agent, be sure they have a legitimate licence and a thorough understanding of your area.

Make the agency agreement official.

Your relationship with your real estate agent is governed by the agency agreement. It specifies whether and for how long they have exclusive rights to sell your property, their fees, and any other expenditures such as marketing (online advertising and 'for sale' boards) and administration fees.

Before signing, you can suggest changes to the agreement as part of the negotiation process.

If you have any doubts regarding any of the information contained in the agreement, you should obtain legal assistance.

The advertising campaigns.

The sales campaign entails preparing your home for showings, having marketing images taken, and hosting open houses, all of which will be coordinated by your real estate agent. Sales campaigns often run 4-6 weeks, so make sure your property is in sell able condition before starting the promotion, or you could waste time and money.

Paying down your mortgage

This entails submitting a completed discharge of mortgage form to your lender.

Settlement occurs six weeks after the contract of sale has been exchanged and is managed by your conveyancer or solicitor. This is when you get the complete sale price minus the deposit, the amount owed on your house loan (which is paid to your lender), the conveyancer or solicitor's costs, and the real estate agent's fees.

The sale is complete once the settlement is completed, and you must vacate the premises immediately.
