In addition to being able to easily create and manage your property listing, For Sale By Owner also has a phone app available to easily access all enquiries that your property has generated.

5. For Sale By Owner Enquiry Processing

For Sale By Owner has the most advanced and sophisticated enquiry handling software in the industry. These systems are largely automated and require little to no manual intervention.

Online enquiries are processed almost in real-time. When an interested party makes an online enquiry on a property, the owner receives an automated email and SMS with the contact details of the interested party. The person making the enquiry, in turn, receives an email with the contact details of the owner. Both parties can then easily contact each other directly.

Phone enquiries are processed using property codes. Each property has a phone code in the first or last line of the property description. When a buyer phones or sends an SMS and enters the code, they will automatically receive the contact details of the owner.

6. You Control The Entire Process

When advertising your property privately with For Sale By Owner, you can oversee and control all aspects of the marketing campaign.

The management of your online listing as it appears on all the websites can be created and edited by you at any time, 24/7. To change any of the elements of your advertisement as it appears on realestate.com.au, domain.com.au, forsalebyowner.com.au or any other site, you can simply log in and make the desired changes online. Those changes will then automatically flow through to all the websites on which your listing appears.

You can also decide when to conduct Open For Inspections, or when the property can be made available for viewings.
