Testimonials

I would totally recommend Forsalebyowner to anyone selling their house. It is easy, straightforward and a simple way to sell your house. You get all the support you need and I am totally blown away at how quick our house sold(one week) and how little I had to do to sell it.

I am still trying to understand how a real estate company was going to charge me 10+ grand to do what I did for 700 using Forsalebyowner, so thank you I am over the moon with the result and will never you use an agent again Forsalebyowner all the way!!

I gave For Sale By Owner a try after 3 estate agents did nothing much to sell my apartment. After collecting the advertising fees, they just never updated me during the exclusive period and i did not know what was going on. Out of frustration in dealing with these Agents, i decided to sell myself and used For Sale By Owner as a platform.

The guys at For Sale By Owner were very prompt and helpful. I managed to advertise my unit immediately and i can deal directly with the potential buyers. I managed to sell my unit when none of the agents could do so. And i saved a bundle on Real Estate Commissions. It was a very straight forward process and I would not think twice about using For Sale By Owner again.

Thanks For Sale By Owner for the assistance.

Thanks for your help in selling my property. I have no hesitation in recommending FSBO to anyone who is selling. The professionalism of the website and support was excellent.

Many people commented that they liked the situation of dealing directly with the owner. I had many offers within the first week and had enquiries from local,interstate and overseas. I sold the property for a good market price in a short time and without the commision I would have had to pay an agent. Thoroughly recommend FSBO.

I highly recommend giving it ago yourself with the help from the guys at For sale by owner.com.au. Meeting prospective buyers gives a nice personal touch to selling the house. You are completely in charge of what you say. It is your home so you are the perfect person to sell it !

Paul and Colin are always available to answer questions.

Thanks so much for helping us to sell the house. It only took 2 weeks to sell it and we got our full asking price! This was a real blast because the local agents were offering to sell it for much less – so WOW, we sold it for full price AND we didn’t have to pay any agents commissions. We spent a couple of thousand on “dressing it up” the house with furniture and paintings that will be going into our new place. It was worth spending that money because it helped get the sale over the line.

We had plenty of customers as a result of the realestate.com.au placement and many more who responded to the street pointers on the Saturdays we had the house open for inspection. The customer who eventually made the cash offer came from the realestate.com.au site.

And an extra note …. It was great that you were so willing to assist us personally when we had a few questions at the beginning of our journey. It gave us confidence that we could get the help we would need – not that we needed much – it was all very easy.

So thanks again. We will be recommending your service to our friends and family for sure!

Thank you to the FSBO team for the professionalism and high level of service after we signed up to sell our property in Cairns via FSBO. We were very appreciative of your excellent & easy to use advertising system, support, attention to detail, meeting deadlines and professional manner.

The entire experience was very simple and straightforward and we enjoyed being able to communicate & meet possible buyers without being “filtered” by a property sales agent. We achieved our desired sale price and the transparent & cordial sale process was completed without issue.

We are singing your praises to all & sundry. Thanks again.

Just wanting to let you know that we have been very happy with your service. We have recommended you already to a few friends. Our experience to list our property with “For Sale By Owner” has been a very positive and rewarding one for us right from the word go.

The team was always there for us and guiding us through the whole process. It only took us a day to do the photos and to write the editorial. Everything else was supplied, even the material for an open house.

We still can’t believe how easy it was to sell the property ourselves. It saved us about $10,000 in fees. The only expenses we’ve had were the fees for the Solicitor. Everybody looks these days on the net to buy a property. Why not do it yourself?

I did a lot of research before choosing to sell our home privately, and For Sale By Owner far outshone the competitors. Their prompt contact and support along the way provided that extra level of comfort and security when selling such a precious asset as your own home.

They made the listing process extremely quick, simple and were easy to contact at all times of the day and night. After I provided the professional photos the signage was installed in around 2 days, and the property was listed online the very day I submitted the listing.

I found the process to be very easy and stress free, especially as I was in control of inspections and buyers understood we had a young family so had to work around a busy schedule. I would definitely use For Sale By Owner again, they saved me thousands in commission.

We have sold our homes (4 of them prior to this) before by ourselves but this experience with yourselve’s and the access that your agency profile gave us to various media – as well as you personal support, has been absolutely great.

Notwithstanding that this is a very good selling market, and that we had a great product, this has been the best selling experience we have had, As you know we have recommended you to several other potential sellers. People who came to look at our house were impressed with the level of support provided. I think the Agency Brand in front of our owner profile provided a comfort zone for any potential buyers who were perhaps unsure of how to deal with an owner direct.

We essentially had our buyer within two weeks but kept to our marketing plan of four weeks and we think it helped motivate the buyer into making a better offer, and it also focused the market into our selling time frame.

Or pointer boards have been snaffled up by another home seller. We had about six placed at various strategic road junctions and they were definitely a great marketing ploy to get people in – although they didn’t detail the house style and we had a broad range of lookers. Thank you again for your personal interest and your help.

We had thought we’d use an agent to sell our house as this is just what everyone does. However, seeing we had just bought property through a private sale which was amazing simple we had the time and spent many hours preparing the property for sale and done all the hard work thought thought we’d try selling ourselves.

From our initial decision to sell our house ourselves and finding that forsalebyowner.com.au had all our needs covered. They are efficient and extremely helpful in the whole process of listing and enquiries and during the sale.

For sale by owner had all the information on the website no hidden costs all our questions were there for us to see. As we were keen to list the property ASAP – once I had all the information and photos loaded, the property was listed within a few hours. I then wanted open house on the Saturday so they had the signs express posted to me. We had a fantastic experience and are now listing our investment property with them too.

I highly recommend the comprehensive and highly professional service the Forsalebyowner team provide. Colin and Paul really were available 24/7 as advertised and spent considerable time helping whenever I needed advice. Colin has a wealth of real estate knowledge and Paul is the guru looking after all software, photo and technical queries really quickly and well.

Our sales board looked excellent and every bit as impressive as agent boards close by. It was delivered very quickly and attracted a lot of attention from passers-by. The web site was simple to use and very easy to update. We delivered lots of postcards Colin gave us about the property around the neighbourhood while out enjoying walking our dog. Our brochure to give out at opens was colourful and informative. The FSBO process enabled us to do everything that a real estate agency could have done at a fraction of the cost.

For those who feel it may be daunting, we were pleasantly surprised by how easy the opens were to conduct and how pleasant and helpful many people were – from our accommodating and considerate tenants to developers to potential buyers. Many people were surprised and pleased to have the chance to talk with the owners directly and were openly supportive.

Quite a few took the trouble to honestly explain when our house was ‘not quite right’ for them and gave morale boosting input that we were on target with pricing and process. That FSBO worked in Balwyn shows it can work anywhere, particularly when you have Colin and Paul working with you every step of the way. Many thanks guys!

I sold our house using forsalebyowner.com.au and it was the easiest, most convenient way to sell a house and maximise the profit. No agents fees!! I had complete control over the ad on all of the websites it was posted on and could add pictures and change open times within minutes. The web site is so easy to negotiate with clear and easy to understand instructions.

I would recommend forsalebyowner to anyone, and I already have.

The contract is signed on my home, the buyer says they are approved for finance, and the building and pest inspection is done. We have 2 weeks until ‘unconditional’, 4 before settlement, but will probably settle earlier if all goes smoothly.

I am glad I chose to use “For Sale By Owner” – the whole process has been straightforward, stress free and most importantly, Successful! .. After some negative experiences with estate agents, I am glad a large chunk of my money is not wasted on commissions!

I want to thank you, yet again, for your wonderful service, all of your time, advice and support… and particularly, Thank You that it appears that my house will soon be sold!! I am Very grateful. I have already recommended your work to many people, and will continue to do so.

Hi Paul and Colin. Thank you for the help you gave me, always helpful and cheerful. You made the process very easy, let me keep control and get great results.

I might add, when i did open houses, I had many buyers congratulate me for being available, everyone enjoyed the process. Everyone should consider this service, it’s easy and enjoyable.

The best decision we made was to use For Sale By Owner to market our property. Our buyers even found the experience a more positive one, being able to talk directly to us about all aspects of our home, which an agent wouldn’t necessarily know. I have already recommended FSBO to friends – they’re a great team!

For anyone considering signing up with Forsalebyowner.com.au I would say just do it. We had previously listed with an agent, after many calls it took them over a week to just get our listing online we wasted over $2,000 in a joint online / newspaper print campaign and got a few leads and no sale.

After 8 months we cancelled our agent agreement and doing the research I found FSBO stacked up and we signed up. I will say I am glad we did, it was the best experience easy to setup at home online, the guys were available at all hours to answer our questions and to assist and get our ad listed fast – same day!!

We had total control of our listing, provided the property description, pictures and settling the important price – it was easy. One of the best parts is we could make changes to refine things whenever we liked. We took out the Essentials Plus+ listing, photo board sign and flag, and it all worked a treat. We had 5 calls in the first week, we sold the cottage at our first open and ended up with 2 cash offers. What more can I say – FSBO works!!

If you are thinking about selling your property privately and are unsure where to start like I was when we had our property passed in at auction then one thing you need to do is get it on the web. I thought it was impossible to put it on websites like realestate.com.au & domain.com.au where all the estate agents advertise until I discovered the guys at ‘forsalebyowner’.

Although it irks the agents that the private seller can do this, it is totally legitimate. They helped me through the whole process which by the way is the same software as the agents use, and within 30 minutes or so the house was up on numerous sites. I liked the idea that we had full access to edit the advertisement at any time as you get a password from the start. We had plenty of interest from the sign at the front of the property but the eventual buyer came via the ad on realestate.com.au as they were from Sydney and we live approximately 100 klms north.

I thoroughly recommend the comprehensive and professional service the Forsalebyowner.com team provide. They were priced reasonably and available 24/7 as advertised. I saved myself at least $12,000 in commissions and sold the property for a much higher price than agents valued it

I knew my property better than anyone and was the best placed person to sell it, with a little help from Colin and his team.

We initially approached the idea of a ‘for sale by owner’ with some anxiety. However, the forsalebyowner.com.au experience was excellent, with a good web site and lots of support from Colin and Paul when required.

As with any home sale; price, photography and a good write-up are important. If you do these well, you can save yourself buckets of cash – $14 000 in our case!

Listing our property on FSBO was simple with helpful guidance and promptly answered queries. We were able to take and use our own photos & our house listing appeared on same sites as if we had engaged an agent.

The whole exercise was extremely rewarding, especially as we saved thousands of dollars in agents’ fees.

Thank you so much.
