Selling your home is a big decision and an exciting new chapter. Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, or simply ready for a change, having a clear plan helps make the process smooth and stress-free. At Busselton Property Group, we’re here to guide you from your first appraisal through to settlement day. Here’s your step-by-step roadmap to selling your home with confidence.

 

Step 1: Appraisal

Every successful sale starts with understanding your property’s value.

  • We will provide a comprehensive market appraisal, comparing recent local sales and current demand in Busselton.

  • This helps you set a realistic, competitive price and plan your selling strategy.

Local market conditions can shift quickly: a current appraisal ensures you’re not under or overpricing your home.

 

Step 2: Preparation & Presentation

Presentation is everything. Small improvements can make a huge difference to buyer appeal.

  • Declutter, deep clean and make any required minor repairs.

  • Consider fresh paint or updated décor to help your home stand out.

  • Street appeal counts: mowed & edged lawns, weed free & freshly mulched gardens as well clean exteriors, create an instant good impression.

Buyers often decide within minutes of walking through the door… make those first moments count.

 

Step 3: Professional Photography

Professional, high-quality images are essential in today’s digital-first market.

  • Great photography captures your home in its best light, highlighting key features and lifestyle appeal.

  • Drone shots, twilight photos & videography can add a touch of magic for coastal Busselton homes.

 

Step 4: Pre-Market Marketing

Before your home officially launches, your agent can generate early interest through pre-market promotion.

  • Buyers Database alerts and social media previews can attract motivated buyers early.

  • This often leads to quicker offers once your home hits the market.

 

Step 5: Launch to Market

Now it’s time to showcase your home to the public.

  • Your property listing goes live across online portals, social media..

  • A coordinated marketing campaign ensures maximum visibility in those critical first weeks.

 

Step 6: First Home Opens & Viewings

Open homes give buyers the chance to connect emotionally with your property.

  • Presentation matters: keep the home bright, fresh and welcoming.

  • Your agent will manage viewings and gather buyer feedback for you.

Light a candle or bake something before opens – small touches can leave a lasting impression!

 

Step 7: Presentation & Consideration of Offers

Once offers start arriving, your agent will present each one clearly, outlining price, conditions and timing.

  • Together, you’ll assess which offer best meets your goals.

  • Remember, the best offer isn’t always the highest: flexibility and conditions matter too.

 

Step 8: Engage a Settlement Agent

A settlement agent ensures all legal paperwork and funds are handled correctly.

  • They’ll liaise with the buyer’s settlement agent, finance providers and other parties to ensure a smooth transaction.

 

Step 9: Buyers Meet Offer Conditions

If the buyer’s offer is subject to finance or inspections, these must now be completed.

  • Your agent will stay in touch to make sure the buyers deadlines are met.

 

Step 10: Final Inspection

Before settlement, the buyer will complete a final inspection.

  • This is to confirm the property is in the same condition as agreed and that everything (oven, air conditioning, hot water, etc.) is in good working order.

 

Step 11: Settlement Day

The big day has arrived!

  • Your settlement agent finalises all legal and financial details.

  • Once settlement is confirmed, funds are transferred and the property officially changes hands.
