Your launch should be planned before your listing goes live
The first weeks on the market are valuable. Buyers notice a new listing, compare it with competing properties and decide quickly whether the price and presentation justify a viewing.
Crisna brings the valuation, positioning, media, distribution and seller communication into one coordinated plan. That means your property reaches the market with a clear reason for buyers to pay attention—not a hopeful price and a generic description.
Selling with Crisna
A more accountable way to market your property
A seller should know how the asking price was reached, how the home will be presented, where buyers will see it and what happens after the launch.
Professional presentation
Strong photography, useful video and aerial context where appropriate help buyers understand the property before booking a viewing.
Focused buyer reach
Your property is positioned through RE/MAX, Property24, direct buyer enquiries, digital channels and local property networks.
Clear seller communication
Enquiries, viewing activity, recurring objections, buyer feedback and offers are communicated with a practical recommended next step.
The property campaign
Every part of the launch should support the same position
Good marketing is not a collection of unrelated posts. The price, visuals, listing copy, distribution and enquiry response should tell one consistent story about why the property is worth viewing.
- Property-specific pricing and buyer positioning
- Preparation advice before the media appointment
- Professional photography and structured listing information
- Video and drone media where suitable and agreed
- RE/MAX, Property24 and supporting digital exposure
- Buyer enquiry handling, viewings and seller feedback
The seller journey
From first conversation to completed sale
Each stage has a defined purpose so you understand what is happening, what Crisna is managing and which decisions require your input.
01
Property consultation
Discuss the property, your reason for selling, the ideal timing, important features and any concerns that could affect the sale.
02
Market assessment
Review relevant market evidence, competing listings, condition and buyer demand to establish a defensible launch range.
03
Preparation and media
Prepare the home for launch, gather listing information and create the agreed photography, video and aerial media.
04
Coordinated launch
Publish the property with consistent pricing, visuals and copy through the agreed RE/MAX, portal and digital channels.
05
Viewings and feedback
Respond to suitable enquiries, coordinate access and use meaningful buyer feedback to protect or adjust the strategy.
06
Offers and sale support
Present and negotiate written offers, explain the practical conditions and support you through acceptance and transfer.
What you can expect
Clear responsibilities. Fewer vague promises.
The exact deliverables belong in the signed mandate, but the working standard should be clear before you appoint an agent.
Before launch
A property-specific plan: pricing context, preparation priorities, likely buyer profile and the agreed marketing approach.
At launch
One consistent campaign: accurate information, professional presentation and clear enquiry routes across the chosen channels.
During marketing
Responsive follow-through: buyer enquiries, viewing coordination, useful feedback and communication around activity.
When offers arrive
More than the headline number: attention to finance, conditions, timing, occupation and the buyer's ability to proceed.
After acceptance
Ongoing sale support: communication around the next requirements while the conveyancing process progresses toward registration.
A working partnership
The strongest campaign needs cooperation from both sides
Crisna can manage the strategy and buyer process, but the seller still shapes access, presentation and decision-making. Agreeing on these basics early keeps the campaign focused.
01
Price with evidence
Use market facts and buyer response—not only the amount needed for the next move.
02
Prepare consistently
Keep the property reasonably photo- and viewing-ready throughout the active campaign.
03
Enable practical access
Set workable viewing boundaries while avoiding unnecessary barriers for qualified buyers.
04
Disclose honestly
Share known defects and important property facts so buyers can make informed decisions.
Seller experience
Professional involvement that continues beyond the listing
Property marketing matters, but sellers remember the guidance, responsiveness and support that carry the transaction through.

Before you list
Questions sellers often ask
Use these answers as a starting point, then discuss your property and sale circumstances directly with Crisna.
Read the Complete Seller GuideHow do you determine what my property is worth?
A useful valuation considers recent comparable sales, competing listings, the property's location, condition, layout, land or unit size, improvements and current buyer demand. A municipal valuation or online estimate should not be used on its own.
Do I have to list immediately after requesting a valuation?
No. The valuation enquiry starts a no-obligation property conversation. You can use it to understand the likely value range, preparation priorities and suitable timing before deciding whether to place the property on the market.
What marketing will my property receive?
The exact campaign should be recorded in the signed mandate. Depending on the property and agreed plan, it can include professional photography, video, aerial media, listing copy, RE/MAX and Property24 exposure, supporting digital distribution, buyer enquiry handling and seller feedback.
Should I renovate before selling?
Not automatically. Cleaning, decluttering, minor repairs, paint touch-ups and improving first impressions are often more practical than a major renovation. The right work depends on the property's condition, target price range and likely buyer.
Must I disclose known defects?
Yes. Known defects should be disclosed honestly, and the mandatory disclosure process must be completed in line with South African property law. Repairing, pricing for and accurately recording an issue is safer than trying to conceal it.
What happens after I receive an offer?
Crisna will present the written offer and discuss the price, finance, deposit, suspensive conditions, occupation, inclusions and relevant dates. You may accept, reject or negotiate it. Obtain legal advice where a clause or consequence is unclear.
Before you choose an asking price, understand your market.
Start with a private property conversation and a clear view of the most practical next step.
