The company helped us sell our home by providing advice and with the package we bought included sign board, flyers, photography, online advertising on Domain, Real estate.com and Facebook. It was a great service. Show reply
I’m very happy with both the service and the result from using Buymyplace. The process of setting up a listing does take some effort — there’s quite a lot involved — but the support from the team was excellent. They were patient, responsive, and genuinely helpful throughout. I would definitely recommend investing in the extra services floor… Read more · 1
plan, signage, brochures, and photography — they make your listing look more professional. (Agents charge for these extras over and above commission). In fact, my listing looked so good most people who enquired thought I was a real estate agent!
Over 90% of my enquiries came from realestate.com.au, so it’s essential to present your property well. The tools and support provided by Buymyplace make that possible and give you confidence to manage the sale yourself.

Farm sale – Easy to use with a great result selling in a short period Show reply
I SOLD 2 properties using Buy My Place and saved myself a fortune in Agent Fees. It's Easy! – Buy My Place is the best thing since sliced bread. It is so simple to use and the results have been outstanding. I sold our previous home through Buy My Place as well and it was just as easy both times. I've literally saved over $50,000 by selling my homes myself. I would highly recommend anyone to give it a try. Show reply
Best move I could possibly make! – So happy we decided to sell our house privately with the help of BuyMyplace. We were in control of inspections and had positive advice when we required it. The team were always accessible, friendly and very professional. Show reply

Sold an 800k property for about $1k all in – I highly recommend Buy my Place for those that understand that paying a realestate agent 30k or more to sell your property works out to be closer to 50k + you would need to earn before tax and if you are comfortable negotiating, this is money for jam. Realestate agents will spin their crap that they will get you a better price, but I would argue… Read more · 1
the opposite, they make their money on sale volume. Just be comfortable you know what a good price for your home is. I sold my property for more than real estate agents said it was worth.
Buy my Place are teamed up with LawLab to put the contract together, they were insanely good value for money and good to deal with. I was dealing with Australian lawyers to put my contract together, the process was very easy to follow for someone that had never sold a property before. I could call them and speak to them on the phone when I was uncertain of anything. They also offered a conveyancing service which I used and I was more organised than the buyer who went through a a traditional I’m shop conveyancing service rather than online.
For the money saved, if you have some basic ability you can save yourself so much money.

Terrible customer service and broken enquiry system – My property was listed for lease on Buymyplace.com.au and went live on Domain and Realestate.com.au on Wednesday 21st October. I did a few test enquiries to make sure the system was working, but nothing came through. Two days later on Friday I contacted them late afternoon and was told I would have to call back on Monday. When I called on the… Read more
following Monday and explained the problem they said there was an IT issue and then "dug out" the 7 enquiries and forwarded them on to me.
I had to apologise to the enquirers, 6 of whom had found something elsewhere because in the delay in responding.
Since that Time I have been calling and emailing every day and now 1 1/2 weeks later the problem is still unresolved. I have wasted 2 weekends and a great deal of my time. I have asked for a full refund, but this has been ignored as have my calls and emails.
Avoid this service, it is run by amateurs with zero understanding of customer service.
I couldn't believe how easy it was! – BuyMyPlace was a game changer for me. After selling several properties previously through agents, losing large amounts in agent fees every time for not a great deal of effort by agents, I really couldn't believe how easy it was to sell it myself. And, all for such a small initial outlay! When I had an agent appraise my last property I… Read more · 1
couldn't stomach all of the additional charges for listing it on the internet, photo's, marketing, commissions, etc. I was set to lose ten's of thousands of dollars. That was my light bulb moment.
I only wanted to list it myself on realestate.com.au & domain.com.au, so via a quick Google search, I found BuyMyPlace.com.au. Their website was very easy to understand and looked professional.
I was able to upload my photo's, enter in my price and property description, which then saw my house listed on the big 2 real estate internet sites, just like the rest of the big agents. It was such a good feeling.
The best part was taking calls from people. They got to speak directly with me, the seller. Any questions were answered on the spot, without going through an agent who knows nothing about the house really. I was able to schedule 1 on 1 property viewings with buyers, making me feel much more secure about not having hundreds of strangers going through my house. Security is very important nowadays.
We actually sold our house to a lovely couple driving past who spotted the 'for sale' sign. It was the weekend and I was able to show them through immediately. It was a win-win situation for the both of us. Saving on agent commission fees has enabled us to put extra deposit on some land, and we are currently building a new house.
Since then, I have recommended BuyMyPlace to many other family & friends who have also had great success, and saved thousands, which has made them very happy. One of our property investor friends can't thank me enough for getting him on to BuyMyPlace. It's enabled him to transition into retirement with much more of his hard earned money.
BuyMyPlace is the new 'Uber' disrupting the Real Estate Industry. I entirely recommend them!

Advertising property for sale – Absolutely avoid dealing with buymyplace. The platform and staff overseeing the service they provide are extremely disingenuous. I have listed with genuine expectations, which were provided previously, however, upon using the platform in this instance, have been given an entirely different narrative in relation to the continuity between myself… Read more
(seller) and potential purchasers. If given disclosure in the first instance, that they no longer can offer such communication/dialogue with purchasers, all parties could have moved on amicably, however, Peter appears to be a dubious and untrustworthy individual.

Terrible customer service – Sales process was fantastic but other than that have nothing good to say. Listed property on every site incorrectly, but on three separate occasions and different every time. It was a mission to actually speak to someone. Always a message bank. Emails were exchanged instead of them picking up the phone to sort it out. Ended up getting an external… Read more
government representative involved and ended up getting refunded majority of what we paid. They denied profusely that incorrectly listing the property on several occasions could have had an impact. They couldn’t see the issue.

Website useless – I'm looking for a rural property in Vic or NSW, I'm a cash buyer. The website will not allow me to enter my preference in area, bedrooms, price, type and all the rest of the preferences. 3 times I have tried in the last four weeks. It's a pity that someone wanting to sell their place has missed out, all because your website isn't up to date or monitored. Dirt poor in my book

Another successful sale for me through 'Buy My Place' – Apart from saving $16,000 on agent's commission, the process is simple and you are in control of the sale process. You don't have to have a quick sale to please any agent and you can wait until you get an offer you are willing to accept. Show reply
Easy process to setup own listing – It was so easy to setup my listing. I could add as much information I wanted. I could edit the photos and add at any time. I had a number of questions which were answered immediately by the sales team.
Quick and Easy – I have used Buy My Place for a few of the rental properties I own and it is great! Listing was up and running within 10 minutes and enquiry came through soon after, The website is very user friendly and easy to navigate around. Highly recommend.
3rd time SUCCESS – This is the 3rd time we have used BUY MY PLACE . Successful every time saving us thousands in real estate fees. Give it a go if we can do it, so can you. Show reply
Big money saver – We sold our house for a better price than the agent had appraised. Buy My Place were supportive and helpful and even when we changed our mind and took the listing down for a while, it was still there to reactivate later for a small fee. Well done BuyMyPlace. Thankyou Show reply
Great money saver – I sold my mother's home in a relocatable village in 1 week. Home had previously been listed with a real estate agent for 3 months. Everybody wins here as I listed for a lower price due to savings on not paying real estate commission. Show reply

This is perfect – First time I have used buy my place, I was happy with the ease of the initial set up . Whenever I needed help and had any questions, the staff were happy to assist promptly. I got the price I wanted and found the whole process easy. Show reply
Saved a lot of money – This is the 4th time I have used by my place to sell my properties. Apart from the fact I have saved alot of money, I also feel that I am in control. I have open inspections when it's convenient for me. When prospective buyers asks questions in regards to the property, I can answer them. I would highly recommend buymyplace ID no.218194 Show reply
I saved $17,000 in commission and sold for more than the agent – I chose to sell my house myself because I wasn’t happy with the results being produced by my agent. I sold within 7 days of being listed, for $35,000 more than the agent told me I’d get. Best thing I ever did. Show reply
Fantastic results – We used buymyplace to sell our house and received more than the agents said they could get and saved $15,000 in commission. Buyers loved dealing with the vendors of the property too. Highly recommended. Show reply
The best way to not have to deal with real estate agents – if you have a little initiative, are happy to spend a little time, not money, then buymyplace is perfect to sell your own home. We sold our home easily, and didn't have to pay $9,000 to some dropkick estate agent. I would encourage anyone who has a can do attitude to have a crack at selling your own home. Estate agents don't earn their money, anyone can sell a property, you don't have to be intelligent whatsoever. Good luck!! Show reply
Basically a total waste of money – Finally cancelled our listing with Buy My Place after having our unit competitively priced for over two years. In that time, we had a TOTAL of six legitimate enquiries and three inspections with one being an agent. See once you pay the upfront fee, the only communication you get from them are offers to invest in more features or to 'bump up' your… Read more

The best way to sell property by far – Bymyplace is the best place to sell. The people that work there were very friendly and customer focused. Nothing was too much for them. I had two agents in Ballarat tell me my block was worth $140000. I sold it for $170000. $30000 more and no agent fees. I had offers after I sold it for $176500. It was my first experience and I absolutely enjoyed… Read more · 1
it. I felt supported and in control of my own property. I knew exactly who had enquired on my block and was able to talk to them and even made friends with two.

Good people.... good advice... good company.... helped me sell my property for a better price – It did take some time to sell My property for the right price, but that was more the location, I was with BuyMyplace.com.au for a time, then tried a realestate agent, the low price offered and pressure by the agent was disappointing, and all about a quick sale to get there commission.

I really enjoyed the process of selling myself, and as I built my home, was as it turned out the best person to sell My property. Give it a go you might surprise yourself....
