Testimonials

I discovered For Sale By owner and was impressed with how simple it was to register and set up. It made complete sense to sell on our own. Why did we need a middle man? Why did we need to spend thousands on advertising when for sale by owner accomplished the same advertising for a fraction of the cost of agents.

We were free to schedule opens around our time, and found prospective buyers liked the idea of meeting the owners. Our philosophy was, welcome, view freely,and ask any questions. The end result was a sale within 4 weeks by purchasers who told us they respected the fact we did not hassle them and gave them time to consider and come back to us.

The final sale price was $30k above our minimum reserve. Would we do it again with FSBO? Absolutely. The support and efficiency of the team at FSBO was exceptional. Thank you For Sale By Owner for your professional service and for helping us save over $ 21,000 in fees.

As retired real estate agents my wife and I were happy to sell our own property but we no longer had the necessary “TOOLS”. For Sale By Owner provided all that was needed. The listing on Realestate.com.au was essential in our opinion, the brochure format was excellent, the signs were colourful and commanded attention. The whole procedure went seamlessly, the operation was most professional, the service was excellent with great communication and the result was great.

We sold to the first buyer who enquired off the Realestate.com.au website and we had a back up buyer who saw the street sign. Well done Paul & Col of For Sale By Owner a great option for sellers.

Thank you to Paul and the team at forsalebyowner. The whole experience of dealing with your company was exceptional. My many questions regarding the listing of my property were answered promptly and gave me the confidence that I was dealing with a very professional organisation.

I would highly recommend forsalebyowner to anyone thinking of selling their own property.

Our experience with forsalebyowner.com.au has been wonderful. I have been amazed by how available and responsive the staff are. They are always available (almost 24/7) and this is important when you are in WA and 3 hours behind. They are also endlessly helpful.

Our house sold within 24 hours of it being listed at a price well above what we had been told it was worth by a real estate agent. We were so happy not to have to pay a commission to an agent. The queries from potential buyers come to you via text and email and were very easy to respond to. The cost is very reasonable in my view and our listing looked very professional.

I would thoroughly recommend the site to anyone who is considering going it alone, it’s easy, quick and you feel well supported.

We used For Sale By Owner after contacting several real estate agents who were reluctant to attend our address due to our rural location. The process with FSBO was user friendly and we completed all the details of our advertisement including photographs without any hassles.

The FSBO team were there at any time day or night if we had questions however we didn’t need assistance as the process was so user friendly. We managed to sell our property quickly and saved thousands of dollars in commission and advertising fees which left our neighbours asking how we did it.

We cannot recommend FSBO enough!! Thank you.

The professional team at ‘For Sale By Owner’ made selling my unit an absolute breeze. Nothing was too much trouble and most importantly for me, they were always available to answer any questions or to solve any issues that arose. The website is easy to use and allowed me to make any changes I needed to, including adding more photos or changing the words in the description of the add as needed.

I have used other ‘no agent’ companies in the past and there is absolutely no comparison to Colin, Paul and their team. I will be using ‘For Sale By Owner’ the next time around as well and I highly recommend them for your Real Estate needs.

We would recommend the sale by owner site to anyone who wants, a method of presenting and selling their home, without pressure and hassles with agents, we found the help from your company very professional, and helpful, all our inquiries and queries were followed up without delay.

The saving of agents exorbitant fees was a major factor in choosing your company, and we will not hesitate to contact you if we are in a position to sell again. Thank you from us both.

Me & Peter would like to thank yourself and (For Sale By Owner) for a excellent and positive experience advertising our property with you.

Our very first open house resulted in the offer and finally selling of our home. Your online support and quick response emails minimised any uneccessary anxieties. We would have no hestitation in highly recommending you.

What a great experience it has been selling our house through the forsalebyowner website. Right from the start Colin and his team gave us the right package,the confidence we needed and also gave us their utmost support during the whole process. The response to the listing was amazing and the house sold on the morning of the second open house.

We found that dealing directly with our buyer created a more personal approach which in the long term gave us a fantastic hassle free transaction , not to mention that we saved a lot of money not having to pay agent fees.

This has been our best real estate experience yet and we would definitely recommend anyone selling their house through the forsalebyowner website.

We want to thank For Sale By Owner for the professional package and assistance provided which allowed us to list and sell our home ourselves. Our homes are our greatest asset and when the time or circumstances require selling it can be both an emotional and happy or sad time. To be able to show your home to prospective buyers and answer first hand questions buyers ask and give a little bit of history of the home gives the buyers a better insight into both the location and features of the home.

We were realistic in price and given our location was in a rural area where sales were low we were prepared to wait and accept that we would not have buyers rushing to our door. With the only exposure of the listing being Real Estate.com and the For Sale board we were pleased with our responses. From our experience we were able to show our unique property at its best and with a realistic price we were able to achieve a great result for us and our buyer.

We would certainly use For Sale By Owner again and have recommended the service to friends and family.

We decided to try and sell our property privately. We were very scared. For Sale by Owner really helped us and gave us the confidence to sell our property. We took approximately 3 weeks to sell our house. Colin and Paul helped us with their expertise, their fast response to our queries and they seemed to be available whenever we needed them – even week-ends.

It was great to feel that you had control of the whole process. We met some really nice people in the couple of weeks that it took to sell. We were so impressed we decided to sell one of our investment properties through For Sale by Owner.

I would like to thank both you and Colin for all your assistance to enable us to sell our home without an agent. Your team was very quick to respond to our queries over the phone and via email, and provide advice or assistance.

The database available to us to manage and edit any changes of our property information, including the uploading of property photos was very user friendly. The electronic signing of contracts between forsalebyowner and us was also easy to process without long delays, or inconveniences due to living interstate. Our free brochure was professionally done and having access to free property reports was very helpful. Last but not least, having the property listed on the realestate.com.au and other domains was reassuring, knowing that we had a larger audience.

If any of our family or friends look to sell their property in the future, we will be recommending your company. Thanks again.

We were surprised at how simple the process was with For Sale By Owner having never sold a house before. They provided the tools and support needed promptly and things just flowed. It is so much better being able to manage the ad and photos yourself rather than relying on a 3rd party to make changes if needed.

Although selling a home is a stressful exercise doing it ourselves we knew exactly what was happening at all times and did not need to wait for agents to get back to us. A win-win for all parties as we weren’t having to factor in thousands of dollars in commission payments in sale price.

I would recommend to anyone to give it a go, who knows your home better than you!

Working with For Sale By Owner has been an extremely positive experience. Their customer service has been excellent and they’ve been more than happy to help negotiate and provide information in relation to the various issues involved in selling a home.

The ease of editing listings is also worth a mention, along with inundation of expressions of interest I received from potential buyers. This service is of immense value to anyone wishing to sell their own home privately (no agent), especially for first timers like myself.

Our experience with For Sale By Owner has been wonderful. Not only did we sell our house in 4 weeks, we received support at every step of the way.

It’s great to be able to take charge and sell your own property and know that there is a team of dedicated and helpful people behind you. Thanks so much, we couldnt be happie

I am so glad we have the opportunity these days to sell our own home, we were told by R/E agents we would have a lot of trouble selling because we were so attached to the home, but this wasn’t the case.

I love my home & I wanted it to go to another family who would love it too, and I DID! Thankyou for your time & help too.

We realised that our property was not going to be easy to sell because it’s in a rural area, it’s architect-designed and it’s at the upper end of the price range for the area. We invited three real estate agents to provide their assessments, but all of them thought that we were asking too much and all proposed charging us around $20,000 in addition to their marketing costs. We decided to use ForSaleByOwner because they provided a means of listing our property on the two main internet sites.

We found that the process was straightforward and Paul provided technical support on the few occasions that we required it. We were able to create our own text and upload our own photos and change both text and photos at will. Our buyers saw our listing and emailed to arrange an inspection. They were appreciative of the opportunity to talk to us as the owners. Following a second inspection they made an offer with which we were comfortable and which was well in excess of the amount that the real estate agents said we could expect.

Obviously we are delighted not only to get a good price for our property but also not to have to pay any commission on the sale. As a consequence we’re about $100,000 better off. Thank you Paul and Colin!

I recently purchased a property through forsalebyowner. It made me think of trying to sell my house with them also.

Well after about a week on the market, one open house, and selling for 30,000 more than the real estate agent`s guide, my contract has exchanged. What more can I say but thank you.

The team there were with me all the way answering my questions and checking up that all was ok. My house sold quickly and with no problems. I can recommend forsalebyowner.

I would just like to send quick thankyou to both yourself and Colin for your help in selling our properties. We have now sold two properties with forsalebyowner.com.au in the last 4 months and have saved an estimated $35000 in agents’ commissions.

The entire process, from my initial enquiries with you through to setting up the listings and managing changes, has been so simple. I have recommended forsalebyowner.com.au to all my friends and will definitely use it again if we are looking to sell.

Keep up the great work!

Colin, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your help and congratulate you on the effectiveness of your site.

I had my property for sale for nearly two years with agents with very poor response. With your site I sold my property in two days after putting the sign out and achieved my price also with the major advantage of saving $40,000 in commission.

I have recommended you to several friends and family as a proven method to sell their property. Many Thanks.
