Selling Your Home

Selling your home is about more than finding a buyer. The decisions you make before it even goes on the market shape how fast it sells, what you achieve for it, and how smoothly your onward purchase progresses.

Step 1 of 13 · Welcome

Welcome

Selling is a strategy, not just a listing.

This session walks the whole journey — before the "For Sale" board goes up, through choosing an agent, agreeing an offer, and moving day. By the end you'll know exactly what to expect and what to ask.

Learning objectives

  • Whether now is the right time to put your home on the market.
  • How valuations work — and why an online estimate isn't the final word.
  • How to choose the right estate agent and what to compare.
  • The main agency agreements, and how fees are typically structured.
  • How to prepare your home for sale to attract the strongest offers.
  • How to weigh offers on more than the number on the cheque.
  • The full selling timeline and the costs to plan for.
