ALICE SPRINGS NEWS
Real Estate 


Dear Home Seller,
this is a seller’s market (just ask the real estate industry). So why spend tens of thousands of dollars on real estate agents’ commissions when selling your own home is very easy?

The Alice Springs News now has a Private Home Sales section in both our print and online editions, offering you massive savings.

If you engage a real estate agent, and your house is worth $400,000, you may get a commission bill for $14,000.

With us, for just $1500 + GST you get:-
• a half page advertisement in full colour in our print editions;
• a listing on its own page, created by us, in our online edition, for 30 days;
• a listing in both print and online editions of your home (address & price) until sold or withdrawn (up to three months);
• a listing in both print and online editions of your open inspections, until sold (up to three months).

Is it hard to sell your own house? No. Many people do it. After all, aren’t you the best person to promote your home? And should you be in charge of whom it is offered to and when? Here are some simple steps:-

[1] Be sure to know what your house is worth. You will get a good indication here ... http://www.nthomes.com.au/public/nthomes.nsf/Homepage?Open

Better still, a Licensed Valuer (find them in the Yellow Pages) will give you an exact figure for a fee of around $300 + GST. That figure will be independent from any agenda of their own which other people may have, to whom you entrust the sale of your most important asset.

[2] Email us (or drop them in) images and text for your Private Home Sale advert. We’ll draft it and present it to you for approval.

[3] Organise Open Inspections ... we’ll provide the advertising for it.

[4] Engage a Conveyancing Agent. His or her fee will be around $700 + GST. You will need to provide them with a Contract Detail Sheet containing the following:
• Sale price.
• Amount of deposit.
• Conditions the sale may be subject to.
• Financing arrangements.
• Are all inspections completed and certified (does the house have a Certificate of Occupancy?)
• Is there a tenant in it?
• Does it have a pool (in which case fencing requirements may apply)?
• Does the buyer have to sell a house to buy your house (prior sale)?

Not that hard, is it? Contact the Alice Springs News with any questions. We’re the region’s newspaper with the highest circulation and readership (see details on our website). We’re locally owned and controlled, and have been serving The Centre now for 15 and a half years.
