Have you ever asked yourself: "Can I sell my house online with no real estate agent?"
The answer is YES YOU CAN!
Thousands of Australians every year successfully conduct their own private real estate sales. And, like them, you can save thousands in agent commissions and fees when you sell your house online.
In Australia there is no requirement to use a real estate agent to sell your property, which is why For Sale By Owner (FSBO) is the best way to sell your house, property or land.
To get started follow these 4 easy steps to a successful private property sale.
STEP1 Prepare your home for a private online sale.
Ensure you have all of the information needed to list your house or property for a private sale.

Set a realistic market value price based on the size and features of your property. Researching current properties in your area and other online properties is a good way to do this, or we can refer you to an independent valuer.
Make an appointment to see your local conveyancing agent or family solicitor. This is important because the legal requirements for Vendor statements, contract of sale and property title transfer are different in each State or Territory. These documents can be prepared very quickly and easily for you by your local conveyancing agent or solicitor. And you will be very pleasantly surprised how modest the costs are compared to what agents charge!
We can also refer you to professionals in your state and local area. Just send us a request and we will organise a reputable firm in your state to call you.
Finishing touches. Repair and repaint where necessary, de-clutter and clean your property in preparation for pictures and inspections. Ensure pictures accurately highlight the best features of your property.
Now, you're all set for a private sale of your house or property.
STEP 2 Register with Real Estate Your Way and create your customised listing.
Simply register with Real Estate Your Way by submitting your name and email address on the form. This will take you straight to the property form where you can immediately list all the details and upload your photos.
We will also email your personal password and login information so you can come back and complete your property listing at any time. Once you log into the members section of Real Estate Your Way you will find it very easy to follow the four simple steps to list your property.
Once your listing is posted it will be available to the hundreds of thousands of Australians researching homes and properties to buy each week. And, unlike other online property sales sites, your property stays listed until sold. All for one very modest fee!
STEP 3 The inspection and sales process.
This is where the empowerment begins because you are in control of the sales process.
Buyers will be able to contact you via the Real Estate Your Way enquire function, ensuring your privacy and control over who you choose to deal with. Plus, you can call them when it's convenient for you, rather than having to deal with an on-going stream of phone call enquiries and messages.
It's your home and you know how to present it to get the best results. You can now host inspections based on your time preference and availability, rather being pushed in to a time slot that doesn't suit you. No agent can do a better job of showing off your home!
Real Estate Your Way will constantly market and promote to get your property exposure, and you can positively impact this. Share your listing details with everyone in your own networks (both personal and professional). Let them know that you are selling your house or property and where to find your listing. This will make it easy for them to tell their friends and colleagues, giving you the power and advantages of viral marketing.
STEP 4 You have a deal!
When you have agreed on the terms of the deal, you must ensure that you again contact your solicitor or conveyancing agent to finalise the documentation. They can easily and quickly do this on your behalf and ensure that the sale of your house or property goes through smoothly.
You’ve done it! Real Estate Your Way gave you the tools and exposure to sell your property, and now the profits from the sale are going directly to you and not to a real estate agent.
