Selling Property Is Easy. Selling It Well Takes Strategy.

A realistic market value considers recent comparable sales, competing listings, location, condition, improvements, views and current buyer demand. An online estimate can be useful as a starting point, but a property-specific assessment provides more relevant guidance.

The timeframe depends on pricing, property condition, location, buyer demand, finance conditions and how effectively the property is marketed. Correct positioning from the start can reduce unnecessary time on the market, but no responsible agent should guarantee a specific sale period.

Possible seller costs can include estate-agent commission, bond-cancellation charges, compliance certificates, municipal clearance amounts, repairs agreed during the sale and other transaction-specific expenses. Crisna and the appointed conveyancer can explain which costs are likely to apply.

Not every renovation produces a worthwhile return. Cleaning, decluttering, minor repairs, paint touch-ups and improving first impressions are often more practical than major structural changes. The best approach depends on the property, expected price range and likely buyer profile.

Buyer enquiries are assessed, viewing times are coordinated with the seller and feedback is communicated afterwards where possible. Sellers should keep the property reasonably prepared while still setting practical viewing boundaries.

Crisna presents the written offer and explains the purchase price, conditions, occupation arrangements and relevant dates. The seller may accept, reject or negotiate the offer. Legal advice should be obtained where a condition or clause is unclear.

Yes, but the timing must be planned carefully. Some buyers make an offer subject to selling their existing property, while others sell first and arrange temporary accommodation. The best structure depends on finance, risk tolerance and the terms accepted by both parties.

Buyers may need to budget for transfer duty, conveyancing fees, bond-registration costs, bank charges, insurance, moving costs and initial maintenance. Use the transfer cost calculator and bond calculator for early planning.
