Step 1 of 5

Price it against Adelaide sales.

Start with sales of similar homes near you from the last six months, then set a range buyers will act on.

At 2.1%, an agent would charge $21,000 on a $1,000,000 sale, before GST and marketing. Unreserved Lite is $900.

Step 2 of 5

Get your Form 1 ready before you sign anything.

The buyer must get a Form 1 vendor’s statement and a written contract. On a private sale, use a registered conveyancer or a lawyer.

If the Form 1 isn’t served, or it’s inaccurate, the buyer can rescind the contract right up to settlement. It isn’t a DIY document.

Step 3 of 5

List where buyers are looking.

Most buyers search realestate.com.au and Domain, and those portals only take listings from agencies. Private sellers list through a licensed agency.

Unreserved lists your home on both for a flat fee. You keep control of the price, the buyers and the decision.

Step 4 of 5

Offers and cooling-off.

Buyers get two clear business days to cool off, except at auction. Weekends, public holidays and the day of service don’t count.

If they cool off, the most you can keep from the deposit is $100.
