How long does it take to sell a property?
While the overall aggregate selling period ranges from 4–6 weeks, there are many factors that can influence selling time. Factors include the location of your property; the features of your property; the wants and availability of potential buyers; the strength of the market; and the price you set for your property. On average, our customers usually sell their properties faster if they choose our Ultimate Campaign, when compared to those who select our Essentials Campaign.
How long does it take to put my property on the market?
It depends. If you don't need signage and have everything ready to go, you can list your property in under an hour.
Printed materials including our basic signs will take between 2-5 business days to arrive depending on where you are.
If you are considering our Ultimate campaign which includes professional photos, large sign board , brochures etc. then we would recommend a minimum of 2 weeks.
Other factors to consider allowing time for include cleaning and organising your home, arranging for professional photography if obtaining, posting your For Sale Board, planning your Open for Inspections and giving your conveyancer time to get your Contracts of Sale prepared. If you are in NSW, for example, then you need to be mindful that you will need to have your contract prepared prior to going to market.
