The Ultimate Sellers Guide | Etchells and Young

The property valuation

Your agent begins by conducting a market related property valuation which will be presented to you before finalising the purchase price. This is done by analysing and comparing the property to those of a similar nature that were recently sold in the area.

Marketing your property

Your property will be advertised on all major property portals, including the E&Y website. Your property will be marketed to all potential purchasers through our extensive advertising campaigns by using all our available resources.

what we do

Signing the mandate

A mandate needs to be signed authorising your agent to market your property. You have the option of signing a sole mandate or an open mandate. We recommend a relationship with one estate agent to guarantee your success.

Why a sole mandate

Viewings & show days

Your agent will arrange viewings with pre-qualified purchasers and arrange show days at your convenience. Show days will be advertised across all portals. Your agent will ensure that your property's value is seen by all visiting buyers.

how to prepare

Offers to purchase

Once there is an interested buyer a written offer to purchase will be prepared by your agent and presented to you. The price on offers will generally differ to that of your selling price. You are under no obligation to sign any one offer but it is advised to be realistic in terms of the market-related value of your property.

Buyer obtains finance

Your agent will assist the purchaser to apply for bond finance from all the major banks, via a bond originator. Our agents always pre-qualify buyers to ensure affordability before signing offer to purchases. Once finance has been approved the buyer will pay a deposit (if applicable) to the transferring attorney.

Sellers responsibilities

Once the bond is granted, the conveyancing process will run its course up until the property is registered into the purchaser's name. The seller has various responsibilities to carry out in order for a successful sale transfer to take place.

your responsibilities

Conveyancing process

Once an offer has been accepted by you, it is then handed over to the conveyancing attorneys to attend to the transfer. Make sure that you appoint a professional conveyancer to take care of your biggest investment.
