01. Accurate valuation Your aim should be to sell your property at the best possible price in the shortest possible time. We carry out a number of appraisals every month, giving us intimate and unparalleled knowledge of property values in the area. 02. Selecting an estate agent When choosing an estate agent, consider their positioning, when they will be available to conduct viewings, their high street presence and what kind of marketing your property will receive. These are critical to obtaining the maximum exposure and price for your property. Your home is your greatest asset, do you feel comfortable entrusting its true value to an agent whose only way of attracting your business is by cheap commission? 03. Instructing a solicitor The successful sale of your property can be reliant on the instruction of an efficient and experienced solicitor. It is a good idea to do some research and make a decision before you put your property on the market as this will help to avoid delays. We can offer recommendations if required. 04. Presenting your property First impressions count, making the presentation of your property critical to a successful sale. Consider addressing any DIY jobs you have been meaning to get done, add a fresh coat of paint where necessary and try to declutter to make rooms appear larger. 05. Marketing your property Nicholls & Co appoints a team of dedicated professional ‘Photographers’ who will then take photographs, videography, produce interactive
floorplans and write comprehensive property descriptions, all in just one visit. To find your perfect buyer you need to give your property maximum exposure across a wide range of media. When you instruct Nicholls & Co to sell your property our aim is to cast the fishing net as far and wide as possible to draw in prospective buyers with engaging marketing material. From there we will work with all the buyers until we find the “right” buyer for your property. 06. Open for inspections and private viewings We will arrange private appointments or hold open for inspections twice a week to show prospective buyers through your home. Once the inspection is completed we will report back to you the buyers comments – both good and bad – so you are fully informed of the markets response to your home. 07. Receiving an offer As soon as an offer is received we will notify you both verbally and in writing. Any special conditions of the offer will also be stated in writing and we will check the buyer’s ability to proceed before you decide whether to accept the offer. 08. Offer agreed/Auction Once you accept an offer we will do the following: _ Prepare a sales advice _ Write to all parties to confirm the agreed price _Your solicitor will send out a draft contract to the buyer’s solicitor who will then carry out preliminary enquiries. At this stage you will also be able to agree on dates for the valuations on your property, exchange of contracts and
proposed date for settlement/completion. We will advise you and negotiate on your behalf throughout this process, keeping you informed every step of the way. There are no legal obligations until contracts are signed. The auction experience varies only in the sense that you are planning on selling the property unconditionally on Auction day. You may still accept an offer prior to or after the auction day however we will discuss with you the option that is best suited for you and the property. 09. Exchange of contracts Exchange of contracts occurs when the following have been confirmed and agreed: _ Preliminary enquiries following receipt of draft contract _ Evidence of a good title _ Specific issues highlighted in the Lease, if applicable _ Property searches/inspections completed _ Fixtures and fittings to be included in the sale _ The buyer’s mortgage approved Once the contract has been signed by both parties the deposit (usually 10% of the purchase price) will be transferred or paid in the form of a bank cheque to our office. The completion date is then set by mutual agreement. 10. Completion Completion is when the residual monies (usually 90%) are transferred from the buyer’s solicitor to your solicitor’s account. Your solicitor will call you when the money has cleared in your account and will inform us to release the keys.

Thank you to Cameron for your professional approach and advice in the marketing of our family home at 23 Jacaranda Drive, Cabarita. We can’t thank you enough for your expertise, hard work and tireless support resulting in a successful sale. We have no hesitation in recommending Cameron as he is without doubt a local leader within the industry. Colin and Dee Macpherson
Having recently dealt with other real estate agents, securing a rental home for 12 months, and also purchasing a knock down home, both with the expected frustrations, this further confirmed in our minds why Cameron would always be close or on the top tier of the rostrum at the 'Real Estate Olympics.'

testimonials.
All the way through the sales process I told anyone who wanted to listen that Cameron was by far the most impressive and talented real estate agent I have dealt with. This is one instance when working remotely (from Melbourne) paid massive dividends as I have nothing but praise for a young man who will no doubt set the world of Sydney real estate on fire in years to come.
