Frequently asked questions
Start by understanding what similar homes in your suburb are selling for and what you still owe on your bond. From there, you can decide whether to work with an agent, sell privately, or do a mix of both. Plotwise helps you research prices, compare areas, and get your home in front of serious buyers.
No. Many South Africans sell with an agent, but you can also sell your home yourself. Agents handle pricing, marketing, viewings and offers. Selling yourself gives you more control, but also more admin. Plotwise is designed to support both options.
Typical costs include agent commission (if you use an agent), compliance certificates (electrical, water, beetle where applicable), bond cancellation fees and attorneys’ transfer fees. Buyers usually pay transfer duty, but it still influences how you price your home.
It depends on your price, area and the state of the market. Well‑priced, move‑in‑ready homes in popular suburbs can sell in a few weeks. Overpriced or unique properties can take months. Using high‑quality photos, a competitive asking price and wide online exposure all help shorten your time on market.
Yes. We are building a network of agents who understand data‑driven pricing and online marketing. In the meantime, you can still use Plotwise to research the market and prepare your listing.
In South Africa, sellers typically need an electrical compliance certificate (COC). Depending on the property and municipality, you may also need gas, water, electric fence and beetle certificates. Your agent or conveyancer can advise on your specific requirements.
Common mistakes include overpricing your home, poor timing, skipping small repairs, low‑quality listing photos and forgetting to factor in all the costs of selling. Pricing correctly from day one is the single biggest factor in a successful sale.
