Tips for selling your property
Sell smarter and keep more of your sale price. These proven tips help you present, price, and market your property to attract serious buyers — no agent required.
Prepare & declutter
First impressions count. Deep clean, remove clutter, and depersonalise so buyers can picture themselves living there. Small repairs — leaky taps, scuffed walls, sticky doors — signal a well-cared-for home.
Price it right
Overpricing is the most common reason a property lingers. Use our free appraisal and comparable local sales to set a realistic, competitive price that draws genuine interest from day one.
Invest in great photos
Photos are your shopfront. Shoot in daylight, open blinds, tidy every room, and capture wide, straight angles. A strong hero image dramatically increases enquiry rates.
Write a compelling listing
Lead with what makes the property special — light, layout, location, lifestyle. Be specific and honest. List land size, bedrooms, and standout features clearly so buyers can self-qualify.
Boost street appeal
Mow the lawn, trim edges, add a few potted plants, and clear the entryway. The exterior sets the tone before a buyer even steps inside.
Be flexible with inspections
Offer a range of inspection times, including weekends and evenings. The easier you make it to view, the faster you reach the right buyer. Add your open-home times directly to your listing.
Highlight running costs & efficiency
Solar panels, water tanks, insulation, and low council rates are real selling points. Buyers increasingly value energy efficiency and predictable ongoing costs.
Negotiate with confidence
Know your walk-away number before offers arrive. Stay calm, respond promptly, and focus on terms — settlement date and conditions — not just price.
Get your paperwork ready
Have your contract of sale and any disclosure documents prepared early with a conveyancer or solicitor. Being ready keeps momentum once a buyer is keen.
