Testimonials

I found your service second to none. I am very happy with all aspects from advertising the house to finally selling it.

Your site will be the first I consider when selling another house and I would have no problem recommending your business to anyone selling a house or property — well done folks and good work.

We are so excited to have sold our home, we couldn’t wait to stick the SOLD sticker on! We recommend any home owner wishing to sell their home use Forsalebyowner.

It was so EASY right from the start! Not to mention the HUGE SAVINGS on agents fees! We will definitely be using Forsalebyowner again when the time comes…

Thanks to your wonderful team.

It was straightforward to create the advertisement with a description and pictures for realestate.com.au and very simple to change details whenever needed.

Using forsalebyowner.com.au, we saved well over $10,000 compared to the advertising costs and commission a real estate agent would have charged.

We had a great experience with forsalebyowner.com.au and highly recommend the service to all home sellers.

The process was very smooth from sign-up to sale and the property enquiry notifications were timely and simple for both ouselves and potential buyers. We also received professional advice when we needed it (i.e.on the Sunday morning that the property sold). All in all, great value for money.

Thanks again for your professional support and assistance in helping me achieve this fantastic outcome. The house sold in less than a week and I got more than I was asking for it.

While the market is good here, the assistance you guys gave me with professional marketing was invaluable and the professional photography that you recommended also contributed to the good result.

And I saved more than $12,000 in commissions. Will never sell through an agent again!

For those of you that are like me pondering whether you should or should not do this… all I can say is DO IT. Fast, Simple and awesome service was my experience. Our house was listed within a couple of hours on the realestate.com and within 6 days was sold.

During this time I had a few questions regarding negotiations but it was late at night so I was hesitant to call… but I did and they took all my concerns away… then gave me excellent advice and made the whole process really easy.

Thankyou FSBO – I have already been telling everybody about you…

We had our house on the market with a local real estate agent for 3 months and had very little interest, We were pressured to reduce our price as the only mechanism to attract buyers. We decided to use FSBO and in the first week had 2 contracts with potential buyers and sold shortly after.

I firmly believe real estate agents simply treat vendors as numbers and any interest in my house that went to the agent was diluted when they proceeded to show them other properties. When selling my home I took the time to explain the soft qualities, such as neighbours, sunlight during each season and the history of how the house became what it is today – all of which the agent could not provide.

Take control of your sale, avoid exorbitant commissions and sell your home yourself!

3 months with RE agent – waste of time, way over priced, 2nd showing of for sale by owner 3 offers the successful buyer drove by and saw our sign with phone number and called us, they were just outside so we let them through – we sold for $585,000 which was perfect for us with no fees.

I loved showing my own home, everyone commented on how great it was to deal directly with the buyer. only stress was which offer to accept! multiple offers allowed us to increase our price by $5k. will definitely use your service if I move again – oh no I can hear the family groan! this will be house number 12.

Thanks for all your help.

As an owner of a property in Wakerley, QLD we can highly recommend For Sale By Owner.

The product was excellent, the online support was great both by phone and email / online chat. We sold our house in a matter of days from time it went live.

Thanks the the team at Owner For Sale we are now about to settle to our new abode and no commission payable to an agent.

Our dealings with forsalebyowner has been a totally positive experience. We found them very helpful and obliging in all aspects of our listing and appreciated their patience with our lack of computer knowledge.

Their response time for any of our enquiries was always prompt and our house sold before our first home open. We could not be happier and would not hesitate in recommending them.

Thanks for your assistance. I am happy to advise selling price because that will become public knowledge in due course anyway. When I first put the property on forsalebyowner, I listed it at $415,000. Our expectations were to achieve a price above $400,000. After a few weeks, I decided to change the advertised price to “Negotiable over $399,000”. I have sold for $405,000, so as you can imagine, we are quite happy with the outcome.

It did take a little longer than I hoped (possibly due to the Christmas holidays) but it has been a happy experience and not nearly as daunting as one might think. I also enjoyed having the “open homes” and meeting people. I found that everyone who looked at the property was interested in the concept of selling your own home.

We have recently sold our rural/residential acreage in country NSW via ForSaleByOwner and are very happy with the exposure given by FSBO on domain.com.au and realestate.com and would highly recommend selling property this way if you prefer to sell privately and deal directly with potential purchasers.

Many thanks to FSBO for efficient notifications of enquiries and and checking occasionally the selling status of the property during that time.

Thank you so much for being so professional in everything you do and supply.

Wow, I had a tonne of fun selling the villa myself and achieved a great result. The top price of what the Real Estate Agent advised we would get and he really did not believe it was possible to get the result. Loved the whole experience. From getting the house dressed up, then me and putting the great loan flag out, talking with all that came through and enquired either by phone or on the net. I put 3 x 1/4 page adverts in local paper and listed in domain, realestate.com.au and had the photoboard with the loan flag out every open day.

Had multiple people wanting it and the only reason it took 3 weeks to sell was that so many were in cooling off periods to sell their own houses. Cannot convey how professional it all looked from the adverts, photoboard, the notebooks, badges and the great flyer that was so easy to do and looked great. People loved dealing with the owners.

So happy and thankful and happy to talk to anyone who wants to do the same. I have just sent the loan flag back as well as the badges and leftover notepaper. Thank you once again.

Selling using your services and website is the best decision we made. Our home was listed with a “reputable” real estate agent. We finaly decided to give him the boot, we had nothing to loose by trying to sell our home ourselves.

From the start the process of listing the house was super easy, I hit the submit button on a Monday night, my listing was live the same day on realestate.com.au and domain (on the first page), and…. we signed a contract on the wednesday afternoon. The welcome kit arrived the following day. We sold for more money than what we would have got with the real estate agent, and saved the commission as well.

Nobody can do the job better at selling your home than yourself, follow the steps, it’s easy. I’m telling all my friends to never use a agent if they ever intend on selling their houses.

We can’t recommend FSBO highly enough! Professional from the first contact through to listing and support.

This is a simple formula that works exceptionally well – it’s rewarding to sell your own home and even better….to save yourself some valuable money!

Colin, Simon and all the staff at FSBO were very helpful right from our first inquiry. We loved the pamphlet making facility and managed to make up very professional pamphlets to hand out at home opens. We also designed our own large For Sale photo board which was very eye catching. We wrote our own ad for the Internet and updated it as necessary, uploading ourselves all the professional photos we had taken. We loved being able to update the ad and photos and schedule home opens at times to suite ourselves.

We wore our badges at the home opens and got all viewers to sign and provide comments. Many people were delighted to be dealing directly with the owners and when it came time to actually negotiate and sign up the buyers it was not a long procrastinated affair as we could negotiate all required directly and to everyone’s satisfaction including the settlement date.

We saved well over $19,000 and also obtained a better offer than most of the 5 agents who appraised the property could have achieved, given their fees.

We now know there are no mysteries involved in selling your own home and we would highly recommend your service and will most certainly use it again in the future.

As first time users of this type of service, there was some apprehension. But their service has proven to be exceptional. In fact an overwhelming number of responses to our advertisement.

We will certainly consider the team again for future needs, and recommend them to our family and friends. Thank you to the team at ForSaleByOwner.

We have now both sold and rented through FSBO over a 2 year period.

Initially we were concerned about “doing it ourselves” with friends and real estate agents advising against, but with clear instructions online, and friendly and quick responses from Colin and Paul to any questions, things went very smoothly.

Our property sold on the first weekend and our rental property had over 850 hits and 27 serious candidates. Thanks you FSBO!

forsalebyowner.com.au make the process of selling your own home simple and easy. Each stage is easily set out and the template used to set up your listing covers every possible angle. The enquiry service is fantastic with all enquiries forwarded by SMS and email immediately to you and your details to the enquirer so there is zero chance of missing a lead. With the property listed on realestate.com.au and potentially domain the exposure your property receives is second to none.

I will never use a real estate agent in the future and if I sell my next property I will be using this service again. Why waste money on a real estate who doesn’t do anything you cannot do nor provide any extra exposure as everyone is looking for properties online… I would continue to reccomend you use a Conveyancer to guide you through the legal steps of the selling process. Just as a side note if you do have any queries the team offer fantastic support over the phone, email and online chat so you are never truely alone.

Many thanks to ‘For Sale by Owner’ you guys have been a terrific support to us in the sale process. Your site is fantastic and our “right person” found us here. Your signs are bright and attractive and certainly caught peoples eye and that SOLD sign was a blessing and I know it brought us good luck receiving it at the start. Cant get more positive than that!! Thanks ‘For Sale by Owner’ you are a winner!!

PS…we have only advertised with you for about 5 months (negotiations have been ongoing for a couple of months now)…and we SOLD…previously we have had our house with agents (4) and other private sale sites for 6 years with no success… Brilliant!!! Thanks again cheers Jenny
