SELLING IN THE
CURRENT ENVIRONMENT
SUMMARY
• Australians may be making decisions based on negative media reports.
• The process of selling has changed a little, yet our activities have shown that these processes
are working very effectively.
Like most property owners, you’ll probably have questions
about what has and hasn’t changed in the way in which
properties are being marketed in the current environment.
Is now a good time to market my property for sale?
How can we continue to market and sell property in a
safe manner as our communities transition back to normal
conditions? And so on.
As Australasia’s largest real estate group, selling one in
every nine properties across Australia, we are uniquely
placed to provide our clients with relevant and timely
information and data to assess current market activity.
As a family owned and led business with 119 years of
experience, we know that we can deliver you the highest
quality solutions in today’s market.
We are concerned that our clients may make decisions to
stay out of the real estate market based on media reports
that often paint a negative picture.
We have successfully adapted our processes in order to
continue to safely fulfil the needs of our customers in the
current environment. The process of selling has changed
a little, yet our activity over the past two months has
shown that these processes are working very effectively.
