We will now show you exactly how HelpUSell works in South Africa.
You first have to sign a HelpUSell mandate to allow the appointment of a sales agent to the market, advertise and sell your property.
The mandate includes additional terms and conditions on the sale and registration process.
Your property will then be listed for sale, where the sales agents will work hard to sell the property.
If a potential buyer comes up, you can submit the offer and proof of your buyer’s finance to privatesales@absa.co.za for consideration.
You are responsible for maintaining the property to ensure that it is shown to its full potential to prospective buyers to ensure that you get the highest possible buying price.
You are liable for all costs associated with the sale and transfer of the property, including outstanding rates, taxes, charges for municipal services, and levies.
You can make advance payments or pay from the sale proceeds, whichever suits you better.
When you pay from the sale, proceeds will reduce the amount available for distribution into your home loan account.
