## 1. Summary (≤3 sentences)

Selling a property involves a coordinated sequence of pre-listing preparation decisions, agency appointment structure, method-of-sale selection, marketing campaign budgeting, reserve-setting, and vendor disclosure compliance — all of which materially affect net sale proceeds and legal risk. Australia operates distinct statutory disclosure regimes in each state (Victoria's s.32, NSW Conveyancing Act obligations, Queensland's new August 2025 seller disclosure regime) combined with a well-developed VPA (Vendor Paid Advertising) ecosystem where sellers fund their own marketing campaigns on Domain/REA platforms. Hong Kong's secondary market operates under lighter statutory disclosure norms (the EAO/EAA framework), no CGT liability, and a post-February 2024 environment where all cooling stamp duty surcharges have been removed, making the disposal environment structurally simpler but more agency-dependent.
