Before appointing a real estate agent, sellers can improve the first discussion by preparing basic information about the property and the desired outcome.
Property information
Collect available title or property information, rates or service details, renovation records, planning information and details of inclusions. Having the information available helps identify questions early.
Preferred timing
Explain whether the sale is urgent, linked to another purchase, affected by a lease or connected to an investment decision. Timing can affect campaign preparation, access and buyer communication.
Presentation and access
Note repairs, maintenance, improvements and items that may need attention before photography or inspections. Also consider occupants, tenants, pets and access arrangements.
Reporting expectations
Ask how the agent will report enquiries, inspection feedback, buyer questions, campaign performance and recommended next steps. Clear reporting expectations can make the selling process easier to manage.
Questions to discuss with an agent

Common questions
Does preparing information guarantee a sale?
No. Preparation helps make the discussion clearer, but it does not guarantee a price, timeframe or sale outcome.
What should sellers do about pricing?
Discuss pricing and campaign strategy with the appointed agent and obtain independent advice where appropriate. A general article cannot provide a property valuation.
This guide is general information and does not provide a valuation, legal, tax, financial or investment advice.
