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.
