Property listing process

Property sell Direct has made everything available to help you sell your own property in 5 easy steps and the best is you only pay 2.5% plus VAT commission when the property sells.

Step one

Arranging information and pictures about your property is made easy by downloading a general or an advanced listing wizard. Simply e-mail or SMS listing wizard along with your contact details and we will forward you a listing wizard. Once satisfied, fax or email the document to:

Those without computing facilities can simply sms 'listing wizard' to 0823397567. Once completed, fax or email the document to:
Fax: 0865423258
Email: listing@propertyselldirect.co.za.

Alternatively, request a listing agent to help you do the job at no cost. Simply email or sms the words "listing agent" along with your contact details to listing@propertyselldirect.co.za or 0823397567.

A very important part of this first step is determining the value of your property. Rest assured, our listing agent will help and support you through this process. For guidance and more information go to Value your own property. Here you can gain access of sales reports directly from the deeds office, regarding information about recent sales in your area.

Step two

Appoint Property Sell Direct as your marketing agent. We will market your property locally, nationally and internationally, passing all potential buyers on to you.

Appoint the transfer attorney. You can either appoint your own or one of our professional panel attorneys. We have negotiated with our panel to support you through the process and to facilitate the final negotiation and contract on your behalf. This takes all the pressure off you.

Download and complete the marketing and transfer attorney agreement. Please sign the document and fax or email it to:

Step three

Show your property to all the potential buyers that property sell direct passes on to you. We give you the potential buyers' contact details and you contact them to answer questions and make an appointment for viewing. That puts you in control. You can arrange for a viewing once a week to which you invite all the potential buyers. Go to: How to show your house for more details and specifics.

Step four

Encourage interested buyers to make an offer through our property negotiator. Once you have an offer, the property negotiator will guide you through the process. You can accept, reject or counter offer with the suspensive conditions of your choice.

This is a non binding process aimed at getting you and the buyer to agree on the sales price and suspensive conditions. Once this is true, you make an appointment with your appointed transfer attorney and he will facilitate the binding contract and final negotiation for you. If there are any suspensive conditions like being subject to the approval of a mortgage bond the buyer has to pay an admin fee in advance of R1500 to the transfer attorney. The purpose is to cover the basic expenses of the attorney if the suspensive conditions are not fulfilled.

Step five

Save R50 000 on every R1 million in value by paying Property Sell Direct 2.5% plus VAT at transfer and this only because you showed your property yourself.
