FAQ’S

WHERE ARE YOU CURRENTLY CONNECTING SELLERS WITH DEVELOPERS?

Develop Connect is currently connecting home sellers with Property Developers in the Melbourne area.

WHAT TYPE OF PROPERTIES DO YOU CONNECT?

We are looking for all types of properties, including residential, commercial and acreage sites. Different council zoning offers different development potential for each site. The thousands of developers within our network all have certain preferences in the types of projects they like to focus on.

HOW LONG HAS DEVELOP CONNECT BEEN AROUND?

Develop Connect was founded in June of 2015 with a mission to change the way property is bought and sold without auctioning.

I AM PROPERTY DEVELOPER, CAN I SIGN UP?

Absolutely, we encourage that you do in order for us to send your our current and future sites that meet your development criteria – whether it be townhouse sites vs. apartment sites, permitted vs. non-permitted, quick vs. extended settlements, etc.

HOW CAN YOU OFFER MORE THAN MARKET VALUE?

We are able to achieve 5-10% above market value and more money in your pocket. This is provided there is flexibility in development specific conditions such as extended settlement terms, allowing for soil testing, allowing for development applications to commence, and so forth.

HOW DO YOU COME UP WITH THE OFFER PRICE?

We take pride in our method for accurately valuing potential development sites. Our property development feasibility model and expert statisticians can calculate a return on investment.

If we don’t have enough information to value your home, we’ll reach out for more details. Usually we can communicate via telephone or email, but no matter what, your offer and our time is always free.

HOW MUCH DOES DEVELOP CONNECT CHARGE?

The actual offer is always free and we work hard to get you multiple offers. Selling with us allows you to sell without any of the waiting and uncertainty on the market place or anxiety of an auction.

WHY IS THIS BETTER THAN SELLING THE TRADITIONAL WAY?

Develop Connect was founded as a platform where buyers and sellers both achieve the best possible outcome without auctioning. Rather than going to auction and hoping your home has hit a developer’s radar, we actively show your property to the thousands of property developers within our network. We know who are actively looking today and in your area.

IS DEVELOP CONNECT LICENSED?

Yes, ESCU Property Pty Ltd, the owner of the Develop Connect website, holds a Victorian Estate Agent’s License – no. 078381L

HOW LONG DOES THE PROCESS TAKE?

We must allow adequate time to properly notify and follow up with the thousands of property developers in our network. Developers will also need time to run their own feasibility to assess the development potential of your land. Typically, you can expect offers within 30-60 days.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I ACCEPT AN OFFER?

The physical transaction process is identical to a traditional real estate agency. You appoint a solicitor to prepare contracts and we have both parties sign the Contract of Sale and Section 32 based on your negotiated terms.
