Next time I sell a property I will not bother with real estate agents, their commissions are high to high, forsalebyowner is a much cheaper and efficient way to sell property.

You don’t have to be a super sales person to show people around your property just answer there questions it is that easy. When selling with forsalebyowner you have 2 options, pocket the extra cash you saved by not using a real estate agent or lower the price of the property by the amount you would normally pay a real estate agent.

Prospective purchases like to hear this, and it reinforces to them that they are getting a bargain.

We took 2 opens to sell our house using the package that contained both Domain and Realestate.com. Have everything ready to go before you start the process.

We received our sign very promptly and enquires began immediately. Communications with and through forsalebyowner were immediate and effective.

Would recommend forsalebyowner to all but be realistic with your house price.

We can’t thank you and Colin enough for creating an avenue for people to sell their homes without having someone swoop in and steal thousands of dollars just to do the easy part of selling it. 🙂 We tried to do all the right things – present the property beautifully, keep it maintained, price it well in the current market and get it advertised!

Our area – York – is notoriously slow to sell properties. Some have been on the market for over 5 years! We attribute that to our slack country real estate ‘professionals’ who are in no apparent rush to do any thing.

Please find attached a photo of the happy vendor and purchaser 🙂 cant tell you how delighted our purchaser was when he could stick your big SOLD sticker on our beautiful photo board. And we love the thought of the real estate ‘professionals’ driving past our house in shock that we did it without them! lol Priceless.

Once again – thank you for all your help in getting our place listed, the photo board, all your information and being their when I needed advice ‘after hours’.

Exciting news. Our house is now sold and settled! Thank you both so much for all your expert help and advice which certainly made it so much easier for us to manage the sale of our family home of 30 years. As to be expected there were many emotions involved in such a big step and the great “For Sale by Owner” easy to use Website and your constant, virtually 24 hour availability and assistance smoothed the way for us to undertake the advertising and managing of our sale with ease.

Good luck to you all in the future and thank you once again for giving us the opportunity to undertake the sale ourselves and save thousands in real estate fees. The only thing we had to organise was a conveyancer and that was a very simple process also.

We would highly recommend your company and encourage anyone who is keen to sell privately to use your services.

We first looked at using a real estate agent to sell our property and was shocked at the amount of commission that we had to pay. We then looked into selling our property using For Sale By Owner. It essentially offered us the advantage of having our property listed on realestate.com without having to pay the thousands of dollars in commission.

We were extremely happy with the whole process, we were notified of an enquiry through email and we could then deal with them directly. We can’t speak highly enough of our experience with Paul and have no hesitation in using this business for our next property sale.

I strongly urge others to look at this way of selling their property before paying out thousands in commission.

I would rate my experience with “forsalebyowner” as 10 out of 10 and would highly recommend to anyone considering selling or leasing real estate themselves.

I have to admit that I was hesitant owing the fact that I have no previous real estate sale experience, however, with the support of the forsalebyowner team, the process was amazingly easy and trouble free.

We would highly recommend your company and encourage anyone who is keen to sell privately to use your services.

I am sure that the listing on realestate.com.au resulted in the quick sale of our property at a price well in excess of the asking price. In total we had 29 groups through the property in two opens. 13 of those learnt about the property from the listing on realestate.com.au

We had 3 offers of around the same figure and knew that another person was prepared to make an offer but was waiting on finance approval. We then gave all the opportunity to make a ‘best and final’ offer and received an excellent offer that we accepted.

I give full credit to FSBO for allowing us to achieve a great result in a short time. It was great that I only had to prepare the house for an open twice – too much work!

I had never considered selling my own home before as Real Estate agents made it appear as if you needed a university qualification and many years of experience to achieve this, not so.

I had no knowledge or experience in selling a home but after a brief discussion with FSBO I had the Real Estate and Domain listings online and was booking times for people to inspect within a couple of days, I showed a handful of people through, one of whom made me an informal offer, I verbally accepted the offer then I engaged my own conveyancer who took care of the rest, it is that simple.

I was a bit apprehensive at first about using an online service, but it turned out to be the best decision by far. FSBO is a very professional service and they give you everything you need and answer any questions you have.

The market was slow when I sold and it seemed like I wasn’t getting much interest, however I had a good offer in 5 weeks and had settled within 10. As there is no agent you do need to be prepared to deal with a buyer who will come to you with all questions and panics – and this can be a little stressful! However I have saved over $6000 by not using an agent and in my view it was more than worth it.

I would highly recommend using FSBO and would definitely use them again.

We would like to thank you for your help in finding a buyer for our property in Torrens Park. Jane and I found the whole process to be very efficient and cost effective.

You were very attentive, from the first time we contacted you, you were always available to talk to, and updated the website with any changes we made, always within 24 hours. Buyers were very comfortable dealing with us as owners, in fact many commented that it was a better experience than they had had with agents.

We would highly recommend your company and encourage anyone who is keen to sell privately to use your services.

Having done all our research to settle on our asking price, it was as simple as signing up via the FSBO website, completing the very simple user friendly template and within hours our listing was online with realestate.com.au without a hitch. It was fantastic to have 24/7 access to our listing from then on, be sent regular updates each week on how our on-line campaign was going and to seek advice from the FSBO team as needed.

It was great to be able to manage our own Open home and Inspection times to suit our needs and the feedback from those who came through our home was that it was great to be able to speak directly with us as the Owners of the home rather than an Agent, as we were able to provide much more information on the spot and answer any queries they had.

Overall, our experience with FSBO was a very positive one and I would not hesitate to use them again in the future.

Thank you all for your very efficient website/listing service. Everyone I spoke to was friendly and very helpful, especially when my computer didn’t play ball in the first few stages.

I managed to sell my unit in Maylands, Perth after just one home open. I had so many enquiries, and found the SMS and email system worked very well. I took a gamble and posted a price about $30,000 – 40,000 more than the estate agent seemed to think I would get, plus didn’t have to pay the commission of $10,000 flat fee! So, lots of savings all round.

Thank you all again and I will definitely recommend your service. By co-incidence I spoke to a colleague at a recent course and she’d used your services successfully too, upon recommendation of her friend who’d been successful. So the wheel goes round!

Our house went under contract after 3 open houses, and we are finally moving.We found the site easy to use and had a lot of interest in our property.

The pamphlets, advertising, and telephone assistance was most helpful. I’d recommend selling without an agent to anyone who feels they have the negotiating skills to see the sale through.

Thank you for sale by owner!

I always thought that I could represent the property I was selling better than any real estate agent could. With the help of forsalebyowner I was able to affirm that belief and moreover the result achieved fulfilled my expectations.

The facility provided to manage my listing on domain.com and realestate.com.au was very easy to use and provided me with a very convenient means for making changes and publicising inspection times. The ‘For Sale’ board I purchased showed off my property to maximum benefit. Whenever I wanted advice or additional support the forsalebyowner team was there to assist.

I can unreservedly recommend forsalebyowner as a fantastic way to sell your property.

“Forsalebyowner” offer a fantastic service right from the word go! They organised all the essentials for us, such as a board, brochures and all those sorts of requirements. Best of all (and vital in our opinion) is the vast exposure our property received by way of advertisements they placed for us in all the major real estate sites. This was great and in the end it was instrumental in finding the right buyer.

Service is faultless – someone is always available to take a call or answer an email, or chat with you live. As soon as a prospective buyer posted an enquiry on any of the websites, we received an sms to alert us, as well as an email with the enquirer’s details. We also received the occasional report listing all the properties that sold in our neighbourhood, and market trends, prices, etc. to keep us in the loop.

In all – a positive experience – and an assurance that one can indeed sell one’s own property without always having to rely on a real estate agent. We can do all the right things ourselves just as well with a little bit of effort and the support of such super services such as “forsalebyowner.”

The days of Real estate owners owning lists and that being the point of difference is in the past.

We have achieved a sale and I must say I am very happy I did it myself.

The system you have created and support you provide has resulted in a fast sale at a good price.

Initially selling our home privately was a daunting thought however after some research, I discovered it was actually fairly simple…. and much cheaper than listing with an Agent! Within a couple of days of signing up to FSBO, we had received our ‘for sale’ sign and our listing went online.

We managed our own open homes and inspections and the feedback from potential buyers was that it was very useful to meet with the owners rather than an Agent, as the owners know the home best and are able to provide thorough information at inspections.

The support from FSBO was excellent and any questions we had were always answered very quickly.

Overall, our expereience with FSBO was very positive and I wouldnt hesitiate to use them again in the future.

I have really learnt a lot about the sales process during the extremely short period my home was on the market. The process was so quick and easy I could hardly believe it.

For the small amount of effort and the big dollar saving from selling my own home I have been so excited by the experience that I have told all my friends and have spoken to a number of prospective buys from my sale about the process. I can hardly believe just how easy and quick it was. I listed on the Wednesday and we were sold on the Saturday evening.

Paul you were wonderful at responding so quickly with any questions I had. I love how all the enquiries came directly to my phone so I was still able to handle the process even when at work. I am very glad I decided to use your service.

Thank you FSBO team for all the help you gave me to sell my house. You were very professional, contactable 24hours a day and would give me very good advice in selling my property privately. I would recommend FSBO to anybody.

I received no hassling emails and nothing by support and valuable advice in the process of selling my house. Even through the GFC I was able to sell my house successfully, affordably and in a timely manner. I had many interested sellers contacting me and would definitely use FSBO again for any other properties in my portfolio I choose to sell.

Our sale with ForSaleByOwner.com.au was nothing but positive! We listed on the Monday, had our first offer on the Friday, a home-open on the Saturday where 21 interested parties attended, four offers were submitted, and we accepted an offer above the asking price.

Many of the people attending the home open said they were pleased they wouldn’t be paying a higher price to compensate us for a real estate agent’s fee. All of the people at the home-open said they liked that they could speak directly to the home owner and get real answers, instead of real estate agent answers. People also remarked that they didn’t feel we were going to string them a line to get a higher offer, which is an experience they’d had with real estate agents.

The next time I sell, I will use this method. I have already recommended the site to friends (some of whom were sceptical until we sold!) and will continue to do so. The online support and the fast turn-around time for the listing, updates, for-sale board delivery and starter pack was truly impressive and greatly aided our rapid sale.

I honestly have nothing negative to say. Thank you so very much for everything. We truly appreciate your excellent service.
