My 3 Secret Property Lawyer Tips for Sellers

My three secret property lawyer tips for sellers. Number one, make sure the contract works for you. How do you do that? Talk to us. Tell us what it is that's important about your property. Tell us what it is that's unique about your property. So that we can make sure the contract reflects your needs. Number two, make sure everyone is ready for settlement, including your bank. Why? Banks hold up settlement. The sooner you tell your bank that you're looking to sell the property, the sooner you can get advice on what you need to do to settle the transaction.

Number three, be open and transparent to your buyer. Yes, you might have extended the balcony without permit. Yes, you might have knocked down the wall without telling council. It's okay though. When the buyer comes through, they will check the property. If you tell them, they will check that specifically and make sure that they're happy. If you don't tell them, and they find out they're going to be turned off. Be open. The more open you are, the easier the offers will come.
