We are looking at selling a Cash + property in Dysart and would like to do it without an agent (reduce cost). As we are no where near the property this may be difficult. Can any one provide any assistance/words of wisdom for to make the prcess easier.
Thanks,

Engage an agent – it won't cost you the earth. Why? How do you intend to show purchasers the property (rely on the tenant, fly to the site each time someone wants to see it)?
Consider selling it to the tenant via vendor finance/wrap etc.
Is the property cash positive for you or will it be if you sell for your asking price?
If it is cash flow positive , why sell and not keep and use equity for the next?
A good agent will add value far beyond just covering their costs.
Selling yourself has many potential pitfalls beyond price, especially if out of your area.
I would suggest looking on Domain and realestate to see what agents are most active in the area and ring a few after Easter. See which ones call you back within an acceptable time frame. Talk to them about the market and see who is working buyers who are currently looking. The most efficient way to sell property is by exclusive agency with marketing at full commission. This ensures the agent works for you to the best of their capacity and has someone to work with by exposing the property to the maximum number of potential purchasers.
It is all about the end nett result for you, not about how much the agent earns.
A trained monkey could sell property but to maximise potential and minimise streess, get a professional.
Would you fix the brakes on your car to save money?
(yes I am an agent and proud of it)
