Get your property valued by a valuer and also just interview some agents for research purposes.
Gives you a rough idea of whats happening in your area.
If in VIC you must have a section 32(VS) ready as you cannot accept a deposit without one. Get yourself a good solicitor. I would advise against a conveyencer.
