In NSW, your agent cannot market your property until a contract for sale is ready, so the first step in selling is getting a conveyancer to prepare it. We prepare the contract, answer buyer enquiries, arrange your mortgage discharge and settle through PEXA.
What we handle for sellers

- Review the agency agreement terms that affect the contract, if you want us to
- Answer questions from the buyer's conveyancer
- Handle exchange and the deposit
- Request your mortgage discharge from your lender early
- Prepare the settlement adjustments for rates, water and levies
- Settle through PEXA and confirm the funds
Situations we often help with
- Selling a long-held family home
- Selling an inherited property as executor
- Selling a duplex you have built
- Selling one home and buying another at the same time
- Selling a tenanted investment property

Common questions
FAQs
Do I need a conveyancer to sell my house in NSW?
You are not legally required to use one, but the contract must include specific documents and the sale involves legal obligations. Most sellers use a conveyancer or solicitor.
How early should I contact a conveyancer?
Before you sign the agency agreement or start marketing, so the contract is ready on day one.
Can you help if I am selling an inherited property?
Yes. See our guide to selling an inherited property.
