  • Be available to provide any advice or guidance required in relation to the Contract. 
  • Assist your Real Estate Agent in finalising the Contract. 
 

What you need to do:

Stage 2:   After Contract execution and the documents are exchanged 

What we will do: 

  • Continue to provide critical event updates when appropriate. 
  • Available to answer any questions you may have during this time. 
  • Provide you with full details on all aspects of the sale you need to be aware of, complete with a handy checklist of items you need to confirm, complete with dates.
