Steps involved in Selling

Stage 1

    1. Organise for Edge Real Estate to provide you with a free market appraisal.  This will provide you with a current estimated value of your home.
    2. Decide on Edge Real Estate to sell your home.
    3. Negotiate the sales fee and decide on the marketing campaign with Edge Real Estate.
    4. Sign the Edge Real Estate listing agreement.

Stage 2

    1. Edge Real Estate can organise for a Contract for Sale to be drafted by your solicitor, if you haven’t already done so.
    2. Edge Real Estate can organise for compliance, pest and EER inspections and reports to be provided for your home, if you haven’t already done so. 
    3. Edge Real Estate will organise for a professional photographer to take the photos of your home for the marketing campaign.

Stage 3

    1. Edge Real Estate receives the Contract for Sale from your solicitor.
    2. Edge Real Estate prepares the marketing material including Allhomes listing, Photo Signboards, Exhibition Flyers, Letterbox Drops and Canberra Times Advertisements if requested.
    3. Prepare your home for the exhibition.  Please see our tips menu to the left.
    4. Agree on the exhibition times with Edge Real Estate.
    5. Edge Real Estate will conduct the exhibitions at the agreed times, at your home.

Stage 4

    1. Edge Real Estate will negotiate a sales price with potential buyers.
    2. Offer is then presented to you for your consideration by Edge Real Estate.  The offer will either be accepted, return to buyer with a counter offer or declined. 
    3. Edge Real Estate will advise the buyer of your decision.
    4. Once the offer is accepted by you, Edge Real Estate prepares the sales instructions for the solicitors.
    5. Solicitors will arrange for the Exchange of Contracts, which generally occurs 2 weeks after the offer being accepted.  Once the contracts are exchanged your home is now sold.

    1. The Settlement period commences and settlement generally occurs 4 weeks later.
    2. Close to settlement day you move out, and leave the house in a clean state.
    3. The buyer will undertake a pre-settlement inspection the day before settlement.
    4. Settlement occurs.  The buyers are provided with the keys and access to their new home. You receive the proceeds of the sale.  Sales fees are paid to Edge Real Estate.
