Selling a Property

We appreciate that the process of selling your home can be stressful. We want to make the conveyancing process as stress free as we can, so you can enjoy the sale!

  • We ensure your Contract of Sale or Section 32 is provided to your listing agent the same day that we are notified by either yourself or your real estate agent.
  • If you are selling a property, we can help you with:
  • Private Sales (Contracts & Section 32 statements)
  • Auction Contracts
  • If you are selling your property, we will:
  • Ensure that your legal rights are protected and the transaction progresses to settlement without hassle
  • Review all legal documentation and calculate financial adjustments (i.e. rates, water and body corporate levies etc.)
  • Coordinate banks, solicitors and agents to ensure settlement occurs
  • Ensure the effective release of mortgage/s with your lender/s
  • Attend settlement on your behalf
  • Forward proceeds by way of bank cheque or direct deposit to your nominated account
  • Commit to keeping you informed on how your file is progressing

If you are selling a property and buying another, we can coordinate both contracts to ensure a smooth transition to your new property.
