A sales appraisal is provided by a real estate agent and reflects the likely selling price of your property in the current market based on recent comparable sales and local knowledge. An official valuation is conducted by a licensed valuer and is typically used by banks, lawyers, or for legal purposes. While an appraisal is not legally binding, it is the most practical starting point when planning a sale. Doman & Co provides accurate, well-researched appraisals that vendors consistently find reliable.

Property styling significantly enhances buyer perception and final sale price by creating an aspirational atmosphere that resonates with the market. While our agents always provide an honest assessment of whether the investment is necessary, we highly recommend Platinum Property Styling as our preferred partner. Their expert touch consistently transforms spaces, helping buyers envision themselves in the home and driving stronger results. Where appropriate, Doman & Co will facilitate this connection to ensure your property is presented at its absolute best to maximise your return. 

A comparable sales analysis, or CMA, is a detailed assessment of recent sales of similar properties in your area. It forms the foundation of an accurate property appraisal and helps us determine the right pricing strategy for your home. Yes, Doman & Co provides a thorough CMA as part of every sales appraisal at no cost to you. This gives you a data-backed understanding of your property's value in the current market before you make any decisions. 

When an offer is received, we present it to you promptly along with relevant context about the buyer's position and our assessment of their motivation. We advise on whether to accept, counteroffer, or hold, always with your best interest as the priority. Our agents are experienced negotiators who know how to maximise your outcome without losing a genuine buyer. Every decision is ultimately yours, and we support you with honest, experienced guidance throughout. 

Communication is one of the areas where we consistently receive positive feedback. During your campaign, your agent will provide regular updates on enquiry levels, inspection feedback, buyer interest, and market activity. We make it a priority to be reachable and responsive, and we proactively share information rather than waiting for you to ask. You should always feel informed and in control throughout the process.  

Yes, you can sell a tenanted property. In most Australian states, tenants have certain rights during the sale process, including reasonable notice before inspections and the right to remain in the property until their lease ends (unless a new owner intends to occupy it). Doman & Co is experienced in managing tenanted sales sensitively and professionally, ensuring a smooth process for both the owner and the tenant. Contact us to discuss your specific situation. 

If your property passes in at auction, it does not mean the campaign has failed. In many cases, the highest bidder becomes a motivated negotiating party immediately after the auction. Our agents are skilled negotiators and will work hard to convert that interest into a sale at the best possible price. If needed, we reassess the strategy with you and explore a private treaty or other approaches. Passing in at auction is a normal part of the market and not the end of the road. 

The time it takes to sell depends on the method of sale, market conditions, the property itself, and your pricing strategy. An auction campaign typically runs for four weeks. Private treaty sales can sell in days or take several months. In our local market, we can give you a realistic expectation based on recent comparable sales and current buyer demand. Doman & Co works to achieve the best result within a timeframe that suits you. 

Presentation has a significant impact on how buyers perceive your property and the price they are willing to pay. We advise on decluttering, minor repairs, styling, and landscaping based on your property and your budget. In some cases, professional home staging can add significant value to your final result. Our team provides honest, practical guidance on what is worth investing in and what is not, always with the goal of maximising your return without overcapitalising. 

We build a customised marketing campaign for every property, combining professional photography and copywriting with strategic placement across the major real estate portals, including realestate.com.au and Domain, social media promotion, email marketing to our buyer database, and physical signage. For premium properties, we can also explore additional marketing options. Our goal is to maximise exposure to qualified buyers who are genuinely interested in your property, not just generate clicks. 

No. Doman & Co is committed to full transparency on all fees and costs before you list your property. In addition to agent commission, common selling costs include conveyancing or solicitor fees, marketing expenses, and potentially building and pest reports or styling. We walk you through everything up front so there are no surprises. If you have questions about any specific cost, ask our team directly, and we will give you a straight answer. 

Real estate commission rates in Australia vary by state and agency, and are typically charged as a percentage of the final sale price. In addition to commission, there are usually marketing costs covering photography, floor plans, online listings, signage, and print materials. At Doman & Co, we are upfront about all fees before you sign anything, and we tailor our marketing packages to suit different budgets and property types. Contact us for a transparent breakdown specific to your property. 

While the right method of sale depends on your property and market conditions, Doman & Co. champions the Auction method to drive urgency and competitive bidding. Led by award-winning Auctioneer Sam Doman, our team leverages high-energy precision to often exceed price expectations, though we also offer Private Treaty for those seeking more flexibility. We meticulously analyse your specific needs to recommend the most effective strategy, ensuring your sale is backed by elite negotiation expertise and genuine local insight.

The letting fee is a one-off cost charged when a new tenant is placed in your property, covering open inspections, application processing, tenancy agreement preparation and execution, bond preparation and lodgement, and the in-going inspection. The management fee is an ongoing percentage-based cost covering the day-to-day running of your tenancy, including rent transactions, arranging maintenance, tenant queries, and rent arrears management. Both are explained upfront, with no hidden costs.

We also cover properties on the west, east and north sides of Adelaide. If your suburb isn't listed on our property management page, get in touch, we'd be happy to help.

We can coordinate all maintenance and repairs on your behalf. If you don't have a specific tradesperson you'd like to use, we use trusted local tradespeople who deliver quality work at a fair price. Urgent and non-urgent repairs are quoted and approved with you before any work goes ahead.

We conduct quarterly routine inspections throughout the tenancy, with a report provided after each one so you can see exactly how your property is being maintained. This lets us catch small maintenance issues early, before they become expensive problems, and confirms your tenant is meeting their lease obligations.

Property management fees in Adelaide typically include a percentage-based management fee plus a one-off letting fee and advertising fee when a new tenant is placed, a lease renewal fee when applicable, routine inspection fees, and a monthly administration fee. Exact costs vary depending on the property, the level of service, and the agency. Contact our team directly for a tailored quote based on your property.

A property manager looks after your investment property day to day, so you don't have to. That includes finding and screening tenants, collecting rent, coordinating maintenance and repairs, conducting routine inspections, managing lease renewals, and keeping you compliant with South Australian tenancy law. At Doman & Co, every property is looked after by two dedicated managers rather than a rotating roster of staff, so you always know who you're speaking to.

Contact our property management team directly by phone, email, or our PropertyMe portal to report any maintenance issues. Urgent issues, like a burst pipe or electrical fault, are actioned as a priority, and it's recommended to call the property manager directly. For non-urgent repairs, we'll arrange a trusted local tradesperson, who will then contact you directly to organise a time for the quote or job.

A strong rental application typically includes proof of identity, proof of income (such as recent payslips), rental history or references from a previous agent or landlord, and completed application details for everyone (including pets) who will be living in the property. Having these ready before you apply speeds up the approval process significantly.

You can apply for any of our current rental listings through the property's listing on realestate.com.au or Domain, or by contacting our team directly. We'll talk you through the application requirements and let you know how quickly you can expect to hear back once your application is submitted.
