Every step outlined so you can sell your property privately and save on real estate commissions. Each step is based on real experiences from successful private sellers.

  1. Choose a lawyer

    Connect with property lawyers with experience of private selling.

    It’s good to engage a property lawyer early. They act in your best interests, and can even support negotiations via the buyer’s lawyer.

  2. Find out what it’s worth

    Set an asking price

    Every option outlined for how to arrive at the right asking price.

  3. Gather key documents

    What documents you’ll need.

    Having key documents ready, like a Sale and Purchase agreement, or a builder’s report can result in a speedier sale and remove barriers for buyers.

    Clear away clutter and fix any known issues.

    Buyers are likely to reduce their offer by the perceived cost of resolving an issue, which is often higher than the true cost of repair.
