Smart Sell Format 1 of 3
Guide Price Offer Windows
The seller publishes a guide price so buyers know roughly where to start. Offers below or above the guide are welcome and still shown to the seller at close. The most common format — helpful for both buyers and sellers to calibrate expectations.
Seller Chooses Freely
The seller reviews every offer at close and decides. There is no auto-win mechanic — the seller may accept, invite improved terms, or decline every offer.
Transparent Reference
All registered buyers see the same guide price. It is a reference only — it does not bind the seller to accept any offer at the guide.
FICA & KYC Required
All buyers must register on Smart Offer, verify identity, and accept the Smart Offer Terms before making any offer.
🔒 How Guide Price Windows Work
✓Register for Smart Offer — complete FICA / KYC and pay the flat USD 200 six-month registration.
✓Inspect the property — attend the viewing window and review the property pack (title deed, disclosures, any encumbrances).
✓Submit your offer — offer during the window with your amount and terms (deposit, cash / bond, occupation date).
✓Seller reviews at close — 48 hours to accept your offer, invite two buyers to improve, or decline every offer. Highest does not automatically win.
✓Agreement in Principle → deed of sale — if the seller accepts, both parties sign the deed of sale at their attorneys. Only then is the sale legally binding.
Smart Sell Format 2 of 3
Open Offers Windows
No published guide price. Buyers offer what the property is worth to them, and the market finds its own level. Best for unusual properties with no obvious comparison. As always, the seller reviews all offers at close and chooses freely — the highest offer does not automatically win.
True Price Discovery
No guide, no floor. The market decides what the property is worth to the buyers who show up during the window.
Seller Retains Choice
Even in an open format the seller may accept none of the offers if none is acceptable — the seller is never obliged to sell.
Serious Buyers Only
The USD 200 six-month registration filters out tyre-kickers, so every offer comes from a verified buyer with skin in the game.
⚡ How Open Offers Work
✓No guide price — pure market discovery. Offer what the property is worth to you.
✓Same registration process — FICA / KYC required. Review the property pack before offering.
✓Offer terms matter — sellers often accept a lower offer with better terms (cash, quick occupation). Set your terms carefully.
✓Seller reviews at close — 48 hours to accept an offer, invite improved terms, or decline everything.
✓Agreement in Principle → deed of sale — sale becomes binding only when both parties sign at their attorneys. Deposit and balance paid to seller’s conveyancing attorney.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know before you make a Smart Offer.
Is Smart Sell an auction?▾
No. In an auction the highest bid wins automatically and the sale is binding on the hammer. In Smart Sell the seller reviews every offer at close and chooses freely — no offer binds either party, and the sale becomes binding only when a deed of sale is signed by both parties at their attorneys.
What does it cost me as a buyer?▾
A flat USD 200 for six months of unlimited offer-making on every Smart Sell listing. There is no percentage commission on the sale — that is Propworths’ only fee to you. Deposit, balance and transfer costs are paid separately to the seller’s conveyancing attorney under the deed of sale.
What is in the property pack?▾
The property / business pack contains the title deed, disclosures, defect disclosures, municipal rates statement, any body-corporate / HOA rules, and any special conditions. Download it from the listing page before you offer.
Can I offer from another country?▾
Yes. Smart Offer registration is available in all 185 markets. You must complete FICA / KYC verification. Exchange-control and foreign-ownership rules vary by country — your own attorney will advise you on what applies to your purchase.
What’s the difference between Guide Price, Open Offers and Live Offer Room?▾
Guide Price — seller publishes a guide as a reference; offers welcome above or below. Open Offers — no guide, market discovers the level. Live Offer Room — real-time window with offers visible as they land. In all three formats the seller reviews at close and chooses freely; the highest offer does not automatically win.
How long does transfer take after acceptance?▾
Once the deed of sale is signed at attorneys, transfer is handled by the seller’s conveyancer. Typical timeframes are 4–8 weeks for cash and 6–12 weeks where a bond is involved, depending on the country, municipality, and Deeds Office workload.
