COMMON OBJECTIONS

But I don't have time.

Did you know that only a small percentage of people will view a property during working hours? The most popular inspection times are weekends and after hours. If a buyer really wants to see a property he will make the time and so will you if you can save thousands by selling it yourself.


But don't I need a third party to handle the negotiations?

This is not so. You are quite capable of negotiating on your own. If you don't feel comfortable handling the negotiations yourself get a close friend or relative to help you. Often when a buyer deals with a real estate agent he will offer a ridiculous price because he knows he doesn't have to face the seller directly. If he is dealing directly with the seller he is not going to want to offend you or put you off if he really wants the property. As a seller never be shy to counter offer and continue to do so until you reach an amicable agreement with the purchaser.


What about the contract?

As you are most probably going to use a solicitor for the conveyancing just get them to do the contract as well. Most solicitors deal with contracts on a daily basis and are well aware of the requirements and laws surrounding contracts.


Won't I attract more buyers if I sell through an agent?

Most agents have a database of buyers, however, this doesn't mean that a buyer will be loyal to them. A buyer will buy from whoever has the house on the market. If you advertise your property on zerocommission.com.au you will be able to attract buyers as this website has been advertised extensively throughout Australia.

A Buyer is not loyal, they don't care who listed the home for sale. He will deal with who ever they have to, to buy the home. They will find your home online at zerocommission.com.au.


What about collecting a deposit?

The best thing to do is have the deposit paid directly to your solicitor they can hold it in their trust account until settlement day. Seek advise from your solicitor.
