Advertising is a vital part of any sales operation. Key ways to promote your property include:
Professional photography and copywriting – use a professional photographer and filmmaker to capture the best features of a property. The copy used to describe your property is also vital and will appear throughout your marketing campaign, so accuracy is critical.
Online ads – on-line advertising is now one of the most efficient ways to sell your property to potential purchasers. Online advertising has several alternatives, including social media and websites and real estate portals.
Signboards – property marketing relies on signboards. They inform your neighbours that your home is for sale, identify passive purchasers and are beneficial for purchasers who wish to drive by a house before deciding on an inspection.
Print ads – Print advertising options include brochures, flyers, and print advertising (newspapers): While most active buyers will view a home online, there are many passive purchasers who didn’t know they were looking until they saw the ideal property on paper.
A professional conveyancer or property lawyer is trained and qualified to conduct real estate transfers. They will prepare the legal documentation and the sale contract, perform title and planning searches, arrange a land survey to verify the property’s boundaries and complete all council inspections to verify your building is compliant. They will also represent you in negotiations and manage the settlement and key handover to the new buyer.
The exchange to settlement procedure begins when both parties sign a sales contract. The buyer must then pay a deposit (usually around 10%). Your agent or conveyancer holds this in trust. It takes about six weeks until settlement, giving purchasers time to sort out their finances and sellers time to meet any conditions of sale. A pre-settlement inspection will ensure the property is ready for purchase. On settlement day, your conveyancer or solicitor will liaise with the buyer’s legal team to ensure all contract requirements are met. They will contact your lender, arrange for the loan balance to be settled and register the new buyer’s loan against the property title. Taxes, land transfer duty and water charges shall be paid as well as the transfer documents filed with NSW Land Registry Services. Finally, the keys are handed over and the sale is complete.
