The Home Selling Process

The first step is understanding where your property is likely to sit in the current market.

We'll visit your home and assess the property, recent comparable sales, current competition and buyer demand. Then we'll give you an honest, evidence-based appraisal and explain the reasoning behind it.

If you decide to proceed, we'll discuss your goals, preferred timeframe and the selling strategy best suited to your property.

There's no one-size-fits-all answer. The method should suit the property and the market — not the other way around.

Before photography, we'll walk through the home with you and identify anything we believe is worth addressing.

Often the most valuable preparation is relatively simple: decluttering, cleaning, tidying gardens and completing small maintenance jobs.

Sometimes, less is more. We'll also tell you when we think doing nothing is the better option.

This is when your property starts coming to life for buyers. We want your home to make a strong first impression where buyers are actually looking.

Once everything is ready, your property goes live. We respond to buyer enquiries, arrange private viewings and open homes, communicate with interested purchasers and actively follow up.

"Putting a property online is only the beginning. Good follow-up is where interest turns into offers."

After viewings and open homes, we'll follow up with buyers and keep you informed about what we're hearing.

You'll have access to your own Arizto dashboard, showing everything happening with your listing in one place — upcoming events, your property photos and video, the marketing script, and importantly, how many buyers have been through, their names and any comments they've left.

"You won't be left wondering what's happening."

When an offer arrives, we'll present it to you and explain the key terms.

You'll get a notification straight through the Arizto app the moment an offer comes in, so you're never left waiting to hear.

If there are multiple interested purchasers, we'll manage the process appropriately and give you the information you need to make your decision. Then we negotiate.

As the vendor, we seek the strongest result we can achieve on your behalf.

If the agreement contains purchaser or vendor conditions, these need to be dealt with within the timeframes set out in the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

Your solicitor or conveyancer handles the legal aspects, while we stay involved with the transaction and communication between the relevant parties.

Once the conditions are satisfied or otherwise dealt with in accordance with the agreement, the sale can become unconditional.

Between unconditional and settlement, you'll prepare for moving and your solicitor or conveyancer will handle the legal settlement process.

A purchaser will commonly carry out a pre-settlement inspection before settlement.

We'll remain involved and help coordinate the real-estate side of the process through to settlement day.

On settlement day, once we're advised that settlement has occurred, the property and keys can be handed over to its new owner in accordance with the agreement.
