the owner can do it or a real estate agent can do it. make sure they know how to sell ‘off the plan’ as they all say they can and they all believe they are legends at it… talk to some of the developers in the area and see what they are doing. You don’t want to get to settlement after having locked a contract in for 18++ months only to find your water tight contract has sunk.
having said that, you need to help the REA by preparing proper preliminary strata forms, disclosure statements, unit entitlements etc, as your REA should be considered one of your key team members – not just some overpaid guy you will worry about later on – as lockign in your sale price is one of the biggest variables in the whole equation. the bank may insist on presales anyway if you do not have a track record in development.
