We offer a fast, flexible and convenient cash offer for a guaranteed sale, it will not be subject to traditional conditions such as finance, pest inspections or reliant on a another property selling first.

Yes, we will buy property in any condition, from new builds to renovator’s delights. We don’t mind what condition the property is in as long as you are willing to take an offer that reflects the current condition of the property.

We will offer anything up to 90% of the value of your property. We are 100% transparent about the process and the offer we make to you. To get an estimate on how much we can pay, simply fill out a few details here for a free, no obligation initial offer estimate. We do not need to view inside the property to provide you an initial estimate of what we can offer you.

There are no fees when selling to us! It is that simple.

The price we offer you is the price you receive, it is clear and transparent as we cover all fees involved in the sale process. This is different from selling through a real estate agent which would require you to pay for conveyancing, advertising and the estate agents commission. To work out the nett amount you would potentially receive from the sale proceeds when selling via a real estate agent you will need to deduct up to 5% in fees (agents commission, marketing and other fees), all of which is avoided when selling directly to us.

We will also rebate you up to $1000 for the cost of any conveyancing or solicitors fees you may incur as a result of successfully selling your property to Geelong Property Buyers.

To determine our offer price we will typically look at comparable recent sales results, council rate valuations and sometimes we will engage a registered valuer to ascertain our offer to buy your property. We will also take into account other factors which may be applicable to your property such as leases, extended settlements or other bespoke requirements you may have.

Our offer is provided free to you and is for a guaranteed sale and endeavours to meet the requirements you requested in a timeframe that suits you.

Our offer to you is for a guaranteed sale, we will buy your property at the price we agree on. This is unlike a price estimate of a real estate agent which is not an offer at all but a potential sales price you may achieve at some point and is not guaranteed.

Typically a real estate agent will provide you with a price estimate that is often higher than what you are likely to achieve, this can be as much as 5% to 15% higher and is designed to get your property on their books. Once you have listed your property with them you can then find they may ask or pressure you into dropping the price weeks or months into the sales process because the property is not selling. They are sales people after-all!

We will in some situations buy your property that is already listed with an agent, however you would be required to pay (in most cases) the agents commission, marketing and any other fees you have agreed upon with the agent. That unfortunately is beyond our control, however give us a call and we can discuss your specific situation.

Yes, in some situations we can tailor you and offer on the condition you agree to rent back the property for a period of time. This allows you to free up any equity while remaining in the same property. We do not however offer rent-to-buy or financing options.

We can buy your property even if it currently has tenants in it. We know it can often be difficult to sell a property that is tenanted for a number of reasons, however we can make you an offer to buy your rental property and take over the existing tenants. We can even do this in some cases without inspecting the inside of the property thereby not disturbing the tenants.

Yes of course! We respect all of our client’s privacy as we understand just how important confidentiality is, especially when it comes to selling property.

Compared to selling with a real estate agent the whole process is extremely confidential, there are no for sale boards, no open for inspections, no letter box drops, no advertising or the like. Because we buy the property directly ourselves we can just come in and purchase the property without any fuss or hassle.

There are a few things we have to do such as liaise with your conveyancer or solicitor, however nobody else needs to know your situation and that the property is being sold.

We will deal with as much of the paperwork as possible, including where possible instructing your solicitor or conveyancer. Our own conveyancer and yours will deal with most things between themselves.

There are certain things that you’ll need to do as a seller such as signing the contract and answering some basic inquiries about the property. Other than that, all of the paperwork is taken care of by us and your solicitor or conveyancer.

We can also provide you with a list of independent, local conveyancers and solicitors. We will always help the process along, so if you’ve got any queries at all we are here to help.

Absolutely not, our offer to you is provided free of charge and is 100% obligation free. It is up to you to decide if, and how you would like to proceed. You are in total control and we never employ high pressure sales tactics so you can make an informed decision.
