Adelaide private-sale plan
Follow these steps from pricing to settlement. Make small weekly tweaks so momentum builds.
Price with local proof
Compare at least three recent sales in your suburb and today’s competition. Launch at a number that attracts inspections in week one.
Paperwork and contracts
Engage a conveyancer or solicitor early. In South Australia, buyers commonly have a cooling-off right that ends at the close of the second clear business day after being served the vendor’s statement (Form 1), with certain exceptions such as auction purchases. Confirm the details for your sale with your conveyancer.
Choose your package
Select the exposure you want on major real estate sites and add photography or signage if needed. See the Packages page.
Build a converting listing
Short headline, bright photos and clear features. Add a floor plan if available and preview on mobile before you publish.
Launch and improve weekly
If clicks are high but inspections slow, refresh the lead photo and opening lines. If enquiry is quiet, review price and open times.
Offers and settlement
Record offers in writing, compare terms and proceed to contracts with your conveyancer. Electronic settlement is standard in SA.

Adelaide FAQs
Is For Sale By Owner legal in South Australia
Yes. Owners can sell privately in SA. Most sellers engage a conveyancer or solicitor to prepare contracts and manage settlement.
What is a Vendor’s Statement (Form 1)
Form 1 is a statutory disclosure statement served on the purchaser. It outlines prescribed particulars about the property and explains the buyer’s cooling-off rights. Your conveyancer or solicitor can prepare it for a private sale.

For many private sales, the cooling-off period ends at the close of the second clear business day after the buyer is served Form 1. Some transactions such as auctions are exempt. Confirm your circumstances with your conveyancer.

Can I sell by auction without a traditional agent

Under Contract in 36 Hours. Quick but Needed Extra Docs
Posted my land for sale and was under contract is 36 hours. The process to set up was easy but the contract part was left up to me as you can’t download a copy of a current residential sale document on line. It is required to be purchased and posted – which didn’t work for our quick sale. I ended up paying my conveyancer to supply. I feel it should be a process all the way to completion and not 80% there
Sold in 8 Days & Saved $20K, First-Time Seller Success
I was able to sell my house for an agreed price within 8 days of listing through Sale By Homeowner. They offered helpful advice to a first time seller and the tools necessary to achieve our goal. By not paying a Real estate agent close to $20000 to do little in a very hot market, it gave me more flexibility when negotiating a sale price. I don’t think I will ever need an agent again. Thanks guys.
