Preparation is everything—even when selling off-market. Genneva Smarrelli (Collings) offers a complete, practical checklist for owners looking to sell their investment apartment, unit, studio or villa unit without a full public campaign.
Use this as your selling roadmap for a smoother, faster result and maximum value.
1. Documents & Data
- Current lease/rental history (if tenanted)
- Body corp/owners corp fees
- Special levies/invoices for major works or upgrades
- Rates notices (council, water etc)
- Floor plan, contract of sale (where possible)
2. Property Presentation
- Ensure tenant is on board with the sale plan/communication
- Declutter and deep clean common areas
- Attend to minor repairs—broken fittings, lights, appliances
- If vacant: basic staging/photos for info memo
3. Communication & Transparency
- Full disclosure of all fees, rent, tenant status
- Price aligns to latest sales/data—not wishful thinking
- Arrange agent inspections around tenant convenience
4. Maximising Investor Appeal
- Highlight cashflow, stability, minimal vacancy
- Promote convenient location/amenity
- Emphasise net yield and cost transparency
5. Book a No-Obligation Assessment
