Maximise sale outcomes. Minimise risk. Streamline execution.

Selling a property asset - whether commercial, industrial, retail, or development land requires more than listing it on the market. Achieving the best result demands a strategic, coordinated divestment process that aligns pricing, timing, risk, and buyer targeting.

Our Transaction Management service is purpose-built for asset divestment across Australia, ensuring your property exits are optimised from blueprint to settlement.

What Are Transaction Management Services?

Our Transaction Management service provides end-to-end oversight of the entire divestment process, tailored to your asset, market conditions, and strategic goals:

Strategic Divestment Blueprint
We begin with a comprehensive divestment strategy document outlining key objectives, market positioning, risks, preferred timing, and value expectations. This becomes the roadmap for all parties.
Agent Engagement & Briefing
We manage the agent selection process—conducting interviews, benchmarking proposals, and negotiating the sales authority—to ensure you’re represented by the most suitable agent under aligned terms.
Sales Strategy & Market Positioning
Based on current market intelligence and buyer sentiment, we guide you on the best method of sale (auction, EOI, private treaty), pricing strategy, and campaign execution to maximise exposure and buyer engagement.
Due Diligence Preparation
We oversee the collation and commissioning of key reports—town planning, environmental, legal, heritage, building, or subdivision—so potential buyers have a clear picture upfront, streamlining the sales process.
Offer Evaluation & Negotiation Support
We assess all incoming bids and expressions of interest objectively, provide strategic recommendations, and guide you through negotiations to secure optimal terms and pricing.
Contract Coordination & Settlement Management
Working closely with your legal advisors, we review sale contracts, oversee conditions and milestones, and manage communication between stakeholders through to a successful settlement.

Why Using a Transaction Manager is Crucial

Our pre-sale due diligence identifies potential deal blockers early, helping prevent last-minute negotiations or failed settlements.
Efficient, Streamlined Process
One point of coordination ensures all stakeholders -agents, legal, consultants -are working toward a shared goal with minimal duplication or delays.
