Steps to Selling Real Estate Privately |
|
What to do:
 Price your property
It is really important that you price your property according to its market value.
Do your homework! Study the market in your area and get an independent evaluation done by a professional (not a real estate agent). This will save you from over or under valuing your property.
List your Property Details on DIYSell.com.au
Go to our 'Add Listing' page and enter the details of your property into the easy to use form. Expose your property instantly to our thousands of daily visitors for only $99.00 until sold!
Erect signage in front of property
Signage is a VERY important element in marketing your property for sale. Most real estate is sold to people who live within a 5 km radius of the property for sale.
Distribute Flyers in the local area
As stated above most residential real estate is sold to buyers who live in the local area, flyer distribution is a powerful mechanism to alert the local market to your impending sale. You can create flyers painlessly with our free on-line Flyer Creation Wizard, print them off at home, and then distribute them on neighbourhood walks, community bulletin boards etc.
Place small newspaper ads pointing to web site
Use your online profile to enhance newspaper ads by keeping the ads small and directing the prospective buyer to the web site for far greater information and photos.
Prepare you property for inspection
It is amazing how much first impressions count. We've made some suggestions to help you make the most of your property in our Tips For Preparing your Home for Sale section of the site.
Legals
Don't be overwhelmed, it is easy to sell your home yourself. Even if you sell through an agent, you still need the contract of sale to be drawn up by a solicitor or conveyencer, so don't be put off by the thought of the legalities. Simply find a solicitor or conveyencer in your area who is experienced in dealing with real estate sales. The solicitor or conveyer will guide you through issues such as settlement period, sale inclusions and exclusions etc
Building and Pest Reports
Most buyers will want to see a recent building and pest report. This will facilitate the fast sale of your property as you can deal with any issues or repairs as needed prior to putting your house on the market.
Information Sheet for Buyers
Draw up an information sheet listing the features and benefits of your property. For example: en-suit bathroom, built-in cupboards, lock-up garage, new kitchen appliances etc.
Make sure you also include information on details that are not easily viewed on inspection. Eg: land and house dimensions, sun aspect, underfloor heating, polished floorboards under carpet, ceiling insulation, distance to local shops and schools etc
Don't forget to add your contact details to this sheet so that buyers can contact you if they have any further questions.
