Thinking of selling your Paarl property yourself? Here's everything you need to know about private sales, when it makes sense, and how Rainer Properties can support you either way.
Start with an accurate market assessment. Pricing too high will deter buyers; too low and you leave money on the table. Contact us for guidance — even if you plan to sell privately.
First impressions matter. Declutter, deep clean, attend to minor repairs and consider staging. Professional photography makes a significant difference in online listings.
List on Property24, Private Property and social media. Create a compelling listing with professional photos, accurate measurements and honest descriptions.
Be available for viewings, but also be prepared for no-shows and time wasters. Keep your property show-ready at all times during the marketing period.
Review all offers carefully. Consider not just price but conditions, timelines and buyer qualification. A lower cash offer may be better than a higher conditional one.
A transfer attorney handles the legal transfer. Both parties must agree on the conveyancer. Budget 6-12 weeks for the transfer process after acceptance.
While selling privately can save on commission, the reality is that most private sellers in Paarl eventually list with an agent. The main reasons:
Mandatory. Must be obtained by seller before transfer.
Rates must be paid up. Municipality issues clearance.
Body corporate must confirm levies are paid up.
Both buyer and seller must provide ID, proof of address.
Seller must disclose known defects. Failure creates legal liability.
May apply depending on your situation. Consult your accountant.
Paid by buyer, but affects affordability and offer price.
