Quick Start — 4 Steps to Your First Smart Offer
📋
Step 1 — Register & Pay the USD 200 Six-Month Fee
Create a free Propworths account. Complete the Smart Offer registration form with your ID, proof of address, and proof of funds or bank pre-approval letter, then pay the flat USD 200 non-refundable Smart Offer registration fee (auto-converted to your local currency at Peach Payments’ live FX rate at checkout). This gives you six months of unlimited offer-making on any Smart Sell listing across our 185 markets. Accepted methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Scan to Pay, Pay By Bank, and Money Badger crypto. The fee is refunded only in the narrow circumstances listed in the Smart Offer Terms, Section 2A.5.
🔍
Step 2 — Browse & Research
Find Smart Sell listings that interest you. Download the property / business pack, review disclosures, title documents, zoning, and any special conditions. Get professional advice before you offer.
📝
Step 3 — Submit Your Offer
When the Smart Sell offer window opens, submit your offer online. Include your terms — amount, deposit, cash / bond conditions, occupation date. If the seller has enabled a Live Offer Room you can watch offers in real time and improve yours before close. If a sealed window is used, you see only your own offer until close. Watch the countdown — the window may auto-extend if offers arrive in the final minutes.
✅
Step 4 — Seller Chooses & Attorneys Take Over
At close, the seller has 48 hours to review every offer and choose freely — accept yours, invite you and one other buyer to improve terms, or decline them all. If the seller accepts your offer, Propworths issues an Agreement in Principle. You and the seller instruct your attorneys. Your attorney reviews, the seller’s conveyancing attorney drafts the deed of sale, and both parties sign at the attorneys. The negotiated deposit and balance of the purchase price are paid by you into the seller’s conveyancing attorney’s trust account — never to Propworths. There is no percentage commission to Propworths on the sale.
Before You Offer — Checklist
✅
ID & Documents Ready
Government ID (passport or national ID), proof of address (utility bill / bank statement within 3 months), and proof of funds or pre-approval letter.
✅
Property / Business Pack Reviewed
Title deed, survey report, zoning certificate, compliance documents, and any special conditions from the seller. Any encumbrance that will survive the sale must be disclosed in the pack.
✅
Property Inspected
Attended the viewing window or arranged a private inspection. Smart Sell purchases are typically “voetstoots / as-is” where applicable — don’t skip this step.
✅
Budget & Costs Calculated
USD 200 six-month registration fee (non-refundable, one-off for the whole window) + your offered purchase price + transfer / conveyancing / stamp-duty fees payable in the country of sale + your attorney’s fees. No percentage commission is payable to Propworths on the sale. Know your total before you offer.
Important: A Smart Offer is a genuine indication of the price and terms on which you are prepared to buy, but it does not on its own create a legally binding sale — a sale becomes binding only when both parties sign a deed of sale at their attorneys after the seller accepts your offer. Do not submit an offer unless you are ready, willing, and financially able to proceed. See Smart Offer Terms & Conditions for full details.
