Penne Yes we did it with no agent and no commission!! I would highly recommend Property Now to sell your real estate - easy, even for the novice (like us). We sold within six weeks and there are houses around us still for sale! We spent time on the garden, a full colour flyer, a sign in the window and couple of Saturday afternoons holding 'Open for Inspection' sessions. These were quite well attended, often by people who had seen the ad on the internet...
Lorraine W A very sincere thank you for your support and assistance in selling my units. The same day I signed up with Property Now you had my units on all the listed websites. You and your company were very professional in all your dealings. You answered email enquiries regardless of day or time. You've made selling my units easier than dealing with the real estate agent. Many thanks for your great concept, your support and in depth knowledge of real est...

I believe we as property owners know our house better than anyone and if you have the time and energy it is well worth it. Engaging your company to as...
Denis Just a note to thank you for your terrific service and help in selling my property privately. It was sold within six days, and I achieved the price I wanted, plus!

For sale by owner selling is on the increase.

For sale by owner of FSBO is becoming increasingly popular as people look at ways to reduce the heavy cost burden of selling their home.

People are selling their own home for a variety of reasons such as

To save money
To gain a sense of accomplishment
Privacy surrounding the sale
Because they feel like they can do a better job
Would like to get to know the new owners

Obviously the savings because of having no agent commission is at the top of most people's lists.

To illustrate the potential savings let's look at the scenario of a person selling a $500,000 property in Sydney. The commission at a 3% rate would be a staggering $15,000.

Remember that when you are selling a home you will inevitably encounter a great many other costs as well, such as:

Additional marketing costs (newspaper advertising etc)
Auction Fees
Conveyancing or solicitior fees
Moving costs
Disconnection and reconnection of services
Mail redirections
Furniture changes or upgrades
Stamp duty or Capital gains
Remortgage or early pay out costs

From start to finish...it's entirely possible to lose $50,000 or more when selling and buying again!

With all the above digging deep inside your pocket it's small wonder then, that people are seeking other solutions in selling their home to avoid agents fees. The question isn't really whether it's a good idea to private sell, but rather whether you can do it effectively... and that's where we can help!
