  1. Step 1 Accurate Valuation

    We carry out hundreds of valuations every year, giving us intimate and unparalleled knowledge of property values in our area.

    Your aim should be to sell your property at the best possible price in the shortest possible time. This is why we consistently achieve the asking price across all our clients’ properties.

    Call us on 4258 0088 or complete the property valuation request form.

  2. Step 2 Select Your Agent

    When choosing your Real Estate Agent, consider their experience, when they will be available to conduct inspections, their presence and what kind of marketing your property will receive.

    These are critical to obtaining the maximum exposure and price for your property.

  3. Step 3 Instruct A Solicitor

    The successful sale of your property can be reliant on the instruction of an efficient and experienced solicitor. It is a good idea to do some research and make a decision before you put your property on the market as this will help to avoid delays.

    The Wollongong Legal Property Law Team including its highly skilled licensed conveyancers, paralegals and administrative staff are committed to providing affordable conveyancing services efficiently.

  4. Step 4 Presenting Your Property

    First impressions count, making the presentation of your property critical to a successful sale.

    Consider addressing any DIY jobs you have been meaning to get done, add a fresh coat of paint where necessary and try to declutter to make rooms appear larger.

    Dimosons’ team of dedicated professionals will then take photographs, produce floorplans and write comprehensive property descriptions, all in just one visit.

  5. Step 5 Marketing Your Property

    To find your perfect buyer we need to give your property maximum exposure across a wide range of media.

    When you instruct Dimosons to sell your property you will automatically benefit from our unrivalled, comprehensive marketing package, including: exposure on our website, full colour property details, Web Books, SMS, Email and Robot marketing alerts.

  6. Step 6 Chauffeured Buyer Inspections

    Our longer working hours are essential to maximise viewing opportunities for your property – in fact 45% of our viewings are carried out after work and at weekends. Accompanied viewings also mean we can use our expertise to help sell your property.

    Our office is always open by appointment. In addition, our phone lines are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

  7. Step 7 Receiving An Offer

    As soon as an offer is received we will notify you both verbally and in writing.

    Any special conditions of the offer will also be stated in writing and we will check the buyer’s ability to proceed before you decide whether to accept the offer.

  8. Step 8 Offer Accepted

    Once you accept an offer we will do the following:

    • Prepare a Sales Advice
    • Write to all parties to confirm the agreed price & conditions

    Your Solicitor will send out a Contract to the buyer’s Solicitor who will then carry out preliminary enquiries. We will advise you and negotiate on your behalf throughout this process, keeping you informed every step of the way. There are no legal obligations until Contracts are signed and exchanged.

  9. Step 9 Exchange Of Contracts

    Exchange of Contracts occurs when the following have been confirmed and agreed:

    • Preliminary enquiries following receipt of Contract
    • Evidence of a good title
    • Specific issues highlighted in the Lease, if applicable
    • Local search queries
    • Fixtures and fittings to be included in the sale
    • The buyer’s mortgage offer

    Once the Contract has been signed by both parties and the deposit (usually 10% of the purchase price) has been paid into the Agent’s trust bank account. The settlement date is then set by mutual agreement.

  10. Step 10 Settlement / Completion

    Settlement is when the residual monies are transferred from the buyer to you.

    Your solicitor will call you when the money has cleared in your account and will inform us to release the keys.

    Congratulations, your property is now sold!
