Guide to Selling & Renting Out Property
Prepare, market, and close the sale or letting of your property.
Selling or renting out a property is more than posting an ad and waiting. Price it too high and it sits for months; too low and you lose value you were entitled to. This topic covers how to find the right price based on condition, location, and comparable properties around you.
You'll also find how to present a property at its best, from small repairs with outsized impact to photography that stops a buyer mid-scroll. We cover the documents a seller should prepare, selling on your own versus through an agent, and the clauses a rental agreement needs to keep you protected.
Whether you're releasing a family home, an investment plot, or a business shophouse, the principle is the same: tidy preparation almost always leads to a faster, more profitable deal.

Frequently asked questions
How do I set the right asking price?
Compare against similar properties that recently sold (not just those still listed) in the same area, then adjust for your property's condition, size, and legal status. A fair price from the start often sells faster than a high price you keep cutting.
Should I use an agent or sell it myself?
Selling yourself saves commission, but an agent brings a buyer network, negotiation experience, and document help. For higher-value properties or when you're busy, an agent is often worth the fee.
What must a rental agreement include?
Both parties' identities, the term and rent, payment method, repair responsibilities, deposit rules, and renewal and termination terms. A written agreement protects owner and tenant alike.
