Megan Mason - Raceview, QLD
We are thrilled the house sold on the very first weekends of showings – and for above asking price, too!
It has been an enjoyable, straightforward process to navigate from advertising to negotiation and sale.
Very worthwhile for the money we’ve saved!
Kiki Dowling - Buckland, TAS
Selling your own house without an agent is really easy with the help of the “For Sale by Owner” website.
We can manage everything from the platform.
We can change the price anytime we like.
We can change the description.
And we can change the main photos.
All of that can be changed within seconds.
Everything is absolutely under our own control.
And the best thing of all is, you don’t have to pay agent fees after the house is sold.
Thanks so much for your help, “For Sale by Owner” team: Paul, Colin, and Alice.
Veronica Baker - Colo Vale, NSW
From all our family we would like to Thank you for our best present. Your platform is easy to use and Customer service is amazing.
Thanks to Colin and professional Team our sale was possible despite the fact that Real Estate Agents in our area were pretty sceptical about our idea selling privately.
Yay! Thanks a lot.
Bert Moore - Cleveland, QLD
FSBO….we cannot express how pleased we are with the selection of advertising offered to sellers. We chose your package costing $1600.00 .
Our outlay, compared to agency commission on a $1.1m property was minuscule .
We researched pre and sold prices of similar properties as a guide. Know your market, price it accordingly, display it impeccably…..and you will sell!
Thanks so much!
Janine Smith - Woronora Heights, NSW
This is the 4th property I have sold myself and the 3rd using FSBO. A very professional company that provides all the necessary features to assist you in putting together your online advertisement, signage board, photo’s (if required) and brochures.
This is backed up with phone and email assistance when you need it. It takes no time at all to complete the information online.
The online portal is easy to navigate and you can update or add open home dates/times when required.
Once you’ve sold your first home yourself you will never go back to paying over the top Real Estate Agent fees.
Carmen Tutor - Subiaco, WA
I write to let you know that my sale is now unconditional. I am thrilled to have achieved my advertised price after a few lower offers. I wish to Congratulate you and your Team for excellent service and support. I will be building again and am searching for a Block value property in the Dalkeith area. I will advise you when the property has settled.
I have also assisted some friends to purchase another FSBO property this week and also at over the advertised price.
My sincere thanks to everyone at FSBO involved and I hope to sell my investment property in Subiaco in the future.
Kieran Glover - Sorell Creek Tas
The FSBO selling process worked great for me!
The portal was user friendly and easy to navigate. The staff were very prompt and happy to answer any of my queries. The response from the sale ad was immediate, and I ended up getting my asking price.
FSBO is a great value service that I will definitely use for any future property sales.
Richard Bond - Flaxton, QLD
Big thanks to the For Sale by Owner team.
Selling our Flaxton, Sunshine Coast property privately via your organisation was a wonderfully positive and enjoyable experience. We tell anyone who wants to listen all about it.
After having our property valued by an accredited valuer, we went ahead and sold our house for the exact price we wanted. This was for well above the valuer’s estimate and the prices achieved for the sale of other similar properties in the area.
The biggest transaction of our lives.
Thank you so much.
Sean De Freitas - Adventure Bay, TAS
What a brilliant experience! To sell your own home and save tens of thousands of dollars in real estate fees. The whole system with FSBO is amazing; lots of help and support, a really simple website to navigate, and easy creation of the online ads, signboard and brochures. I would never, in a million years, ever consider wasting money engaging an agent to sell my property, ever again!!!
Sam Litfin - Heathwood, QLD
You might be interested to know that we have just set the new record sale price for Heathwood with the sale of this property!
Not sure if there’s a marketing opportunity in it for you?
P.S. thanks so much for the very easy process of using your site too! Will definitely do a recommendation online.
Mike and Michelle Cheslin - Clyde North, VIC
Both my wife and I were keen to try selling our home ourselves, not just for the money saved on real estate agent fees but we just felt we were just as capable of vetting a good outcome.
Colin was terrific to deal with, very responsive to our questions and prompt in getting back to us.
The photographer was fabulous, very particular and a great eye for detail!
Just one suggestion…perhaps an ‘under offer’ sticker be sent.
Nancy Jackson - Eva valley, NT
We had been trying to sell our property for about 5 years. We tried real estate agencies, but they only took our money and did nothing – one of them didn’t even put a sign up on the property! After some investigation, we decided to try it ourselves and after reading very good reviews, chose For Sale By Owner to help us out. We paid a one-off fee, and received 2 large, bright, eye-catching signs and exposure via numerous websites. Within a few months, we had sold our property.
For Sale By Owner makes it very easy. They have a great website that gives you total control, they are competent and efficient and a pleasure to deal with. We would recommend them to anyone willing to sell privately. Give them a go, you won’t regret it!
Robyn Shapcott - Hughenden, QLD
I would highly recommend forsalebyowner – they are very experienced, their website is excellent, easy to navigate and provides a broad array of help. I would definitely recommend using them as they are always ready by the phone to provide advice which is something that is very much appreciated for anyone that has not used these type of websites before, these guys are the pick of owners own selling.
Linda & Basil Stewart - Lake Conjola, NSW
This was our first time as private home-owner-sellers and we have no hesitation recommending For Sale By Owner.
The software used by FSBO was user friendly and intuitive including producing a personalised flier to give to interested lookers. Personalised login and ability to update the listing, delete and add photos as often as needed. These changes were quickly reflected on Domain as well as Realestate.
Friendly and expert help was a phone call away and the honest feedback was refreshing. Their approach helped make this a stress free experience for first-timers.
We were extremely pleased with the sale price. This is a more ethical way to sell property: a win/win outcome for everyone. There are no agency fees for the vendor so we were able to offer a better price to the purchaser.
We liked being able to show buyers through our home and highlight the aspects of the property that made it a home. All queries from purchasers were answered on the spot because no-one knows our property like we do.
Renee Campbell-Pope - Scarborough, WA
I found the support and resources I needed to sell our house very helpful.
I made a mistake with the website and they were quick to help me with it which was much appreciated. The professional photos were great and the signage and flyers.
Lance and Angela Owen - Joondalup, WA
I was a bit nervous about putting my house up for sale privately even though I had sold privately in the UK and New Zealand. I had a few discussions with Colin, the owner of the company, and I found him to be very encouraging and highly knowledgeable regarding the sale and purchase of properties.
The “for sale by owner” website is user friendly and when I needed support, Colin or another member of his team was on the other end of the phone. The photographer he organised was excellent and he lives in Perth. I would encourage anyone who is thinking about selling their property to talk to Colin in Melbourne and discuss selling privately. As well as saving real-estate fees, I found I had much more control over the selling process and and my husband really enjoyed hosting the open home.
On the first open home, we had 24 groups of people through and accepted the first offer. Overall, it was a stress-free and enjoyable experience. I have already recommended “for sale by owner” to other people.
Martin Siemons - Terranora, NSW
Would definitely recommend using For Sale By Owner for selling your own home. Not only did we save $30K in comms we could be available to show any prospective purchasers at very short notice, something agents are always willing or able to do. We also have local knowledge about the area and know the home better than an agent ever could.
Tethys Scheibner - Tolmans Hill, TAS
Thank you very much for all your help. Using your For Sale By Owner site to sell our home has been a very positive experience for us. You have been very professional but you also provide a very personal service with plenty of constructive advice and we would highly recommend you to anyone considering selling their home.
Not only do you save a significant amount of money but that saving can also translate to a better deal for the buyer and therefore a greater chance of getting a sale. Ultimately the homeowner is the one who knows the most about their home and the feedback from our purchasers is that they much preferred dealing with the homeowner rather than dealing with a real estate agent.
So thank you and hopefully, more people wise up to the joys of selling their own home through For Sale By Owner.
Bev Jackson - Manoora, QLD
This was a great experience! At first, the thought was daunting but the team made the start easy and support was always at hand. I enjoyed meeting potential buyers through Home Open days or by appointment through contact from websites. I also had a helpful legal team who nursed me through the documentation.
One surprising experience I would not have expected was being offered $80 by someone who wanted to buy the signage I had made to put on the nearby roundabout, on the roadside outside the complex and outside my unit. These signs were empty packing boxes decorated with coloured paper bunting and HOME OPEN with arrows pointing in the direction.
A bonus for the seller and the buyer is being able to adjust the price through saving on paying someone commission to do something which you are very capable of doing yourself and having fun doing it. GO FOR IT!!
Kelvin Hutchinson - Massie, QLD
I wouldn’t sell property any other way. Saved us thousands of dollars in agents fees and the prospective purchasers are always happier dealing with the property owner than an agent anyway.
What’s so difficult about taking calls and helping with site inspections as needed. Solicitors can assist with contracts and holding deposits etc. You can do it!
