For Sale By Owner

Very happy returning customer to forsalebyowner, this service allows me to be my own rentals agent, easy to list on the portal and punctual customer service. All enquiries are immediately sent direct to me to answer and had a tenant within 4 weeks!

The platform made the private sale process incredibly straightforward. It provided all the tools I needed to manage my own listing and inspections with confidence. Highly recommend for anyone looking to take control of their sale.

Easy, responsive customer service, received all leads quickly and effectively. This is not something to take on lightly, especially in this market as you are pretty much full time responding to enquiries for the first week at least. You have to be… Read more

organised. Also there is absolutely ZERO support for paperwork, so you need to buy your offer contracts or whatever and however you are going to do offers, contracts, etc. This is a legal contracting process, so you either need to know what you are doing, or ensure you have that support in place and ready to go. But if you have no issues with taking full responsibility (legal, ethical, and physical) and have half a clue and are prepped and have the time, this is a great experience and you do not have to deal with real estate agents.

When I decided to use your platform was very easy to understand and very quickly in one hour my house was live on all platforms like Real Estate.com, Domain, View, and Forsalebyowner.com.au ( your own website), board comes in 2days and open for… Read more

inspection board that is it. Now I am thinking why not everyone is selling their properties themselves is easy , quick, simple and cost effective And nobody knows your house more than you so try don’t be scared you will see that is easy and you will save thousands of dollars. More importantly you will be proud you sold yourself is a challenge which pays off. Every house has a buyer to be match with, be patient be successful seller like me and with this website: Forsalebyowner.com.au you can achieve that . I cannot be more happier and price wise more than I hope for , I am going to sell my other house next year myself because my confidence is high Irena Stojanovska

Recently, and very quickly, I sold our townhouse in Robina using For Sale By Owner's top notch service. After having called a number of companies that provide the facility for owners to sell their property, we settled on For Sale By Owner. Talking with Colin had convinced us that this company understands the needs of owners and how buyers… Read more

function. I found him authentic and comfortable to deal with. FSBO also provides fair and transparent pricing, without pushy upselling. I must admit that I am an experienced real estate agent, now retired, so knew what I needed for the market I would be advertising in. FSBO didn't disappoint. Their systems and software are easy to use and the resulting advertising is of a standard comparable with big players in the industry. You choose the level of marketing. I chose to do my own copy and arrange for my photos but FSBO can provide these services, which many sellers avail themselves of.  To work with you when selling your property, you will need a conveyancer/solicitor. They will prepare the Seller's Disclosure which you are required  to give to prospective buyers, and certainly in order to go to contract. Between the conveyancer and FSBO you will have the tools you need to successfully sell your own home. A smile and a pleasant manner during viewings helps too! No-one who attended our open home seemed at all concerned that there wasn't an agent present as we managed the open just as an agent would, with a person doing the greeting and another in the home answering questions and pointing out the features of the home. To make the open home process professional and streamlined, I recommend the use of a QR code which works with Google Forms to capture contact data as prospective buyers enter. It saves buyers milling around while they complete paper contact forms. You can then email the Seller's Disclosure and an offer form to the people who viewed.

All in all. a very productive and enjoyable process selling our home.

My best decision to use For Sale By Owner (FSBO) to sell my property! The experience was smooth, stress-free and incredibly empowering. Unlike the pressure of working with a traditional real estate agent, FSBO gave me total control over the sale, allowing me to connect directly with prospective buyers and select the ones who were the best fit for… Read more

my property. One of the biggest advantages was the complete freedom I had throughout the process. There were no annoying calls, no aggressive sales tactics and no strict deadlines to meet just to push through a sale. I was able to take my time, carefully evaluate offers and negotiate directly with buyers. This flexibility removed so much of the typical stress associated with selling a home. Additionally, the For Sale By Owner website made it easy to list my property, with all the necessary tools and resources (such as a well-designed interface and the ability to quickly update my contact details when my email malfunctioned during a flood of buyer inquiries). I felt confident in managing the listing, handling inquiries and ultimately negotiating a deal that worked best for me, all without the pressure or hassle of a real estate agent trying to close a deal quickly. If you’re someone who values having control over the sale of your property and enjoys the flexibility of a self-guided process, I highly recommend using For Sale By Owner. It’s an unbeatable option for anyone looking to sell without the high commissions and unwanted stress that often comes with agents. I will definitely consider using it again for any future sales! As a suggestion, I’d love to see FSBO add a member feature where new users can gain tips and insights from those who have successfully sold their properties using the platform. That extra community support would be a great resource!

I’ve always said I can’t justify gifting a real estate agent their kid’s first car by paying their exorbitant commissions. I have no regrets about taking the DIY route with selling my own property – I got a fair price and had more wiggle room because I wasn’t paying an agent’s commission. Indeed there were some perceived negatives about doing it… Read more

myself: 1) I didn’t have as much interest as I had hoped for – perhaps because I was too honest and advertised the property closer to its actual price range rather than underquoting like an agent would. 2) The standard ad size is also small so doesn’t stand out as much. Upgrading to a large ad on realestate costs upwards of $4000 and this isn’t the fault of forsalebyowner. Any DIY mob will charge this much because that’s the rip off price charged by realestate.com.au. 3) The person who ultimately purchased my property admitted that they initially thought it was a scam as they had never seen someone selling their own house before. I had to deal with a few dodgy enquiries that were clearly family/friends of the buyer trying to suss me out, but so be it. Most people probably aren’t that suspicious. 4) I had to sift through and deal with a few obvious tyre-kickers or dodgy enquiries. They’re not that hard to spot and again, the effort wasn’t worth the cost of a new first car for an agent’s kid! I also had some no-shows, but you get around that by combining multiple pre-arranged viewings to a single day and advertising early for any general Open For Inspections you're planning. The forsalebyowner interface is generally pretty good and intuitive. It worked without any glitches. Updates throughout my marketing campaign were generally uploaded to the main websites within an hour. The price I paid for the service was competitive, and there is some customer appreciation shown with a 10% discount offered for any subsequent listings I want to put up. No dodgy surprises like card payment surcharges either. When I needed it, support and assistance from the forsalebyowner team was good and generally prompt. I don’t often assign 5 stars to my reviews. Sadly it’s getting harder and harder to find services/businesses and people who know what they’re doing, take pride in their work, and get things right the first time. On this occasion, forsalebyowner.com.au stood out in these respects. If you’re comfortable talking to people, conducting an informed negotiation yourself (and knowing when "that's my best price" really isn't someone's best price!), responding to enquiries and keeping on top of things then I can recommend forsalebyowner.com.au. I’d happily use their services again and will also likely use their platform when I need to advertise for a tenant. Just make sure you get a good conveyancer to complement your campaign – one who will prepare contracts based on your individual circumstances and who has an authorised and legal trust account to deal in the sale proceeds for you. That's probably the only thing an agent can do that you can't! Thanks to the forsalebyowner team – best of luck for the future!

Using FSBO was a rewarding experience. Being able to meet prospective buyers and knowing exactly what was happening was so beneficial compared to using an agent. We also received really positive feedback from the majority of people who came through. The FSBO process was straightforward from the beginning and fast and efficient throughout. We will… Read more

definitely use FSBO again and happy to recommend to anyone who, like us, wants more control and involvement when selling a property.

Great Experience – Sold My Block at a Great Price! I had a fantastic experience selling my block through For Sale By Owner. I was able to achieve a really good price, and the support I received throughout the process was outstanding. A special thanks to Paul, who was incredibly helpful, responsive, and guided me with clear advice whenever I… Read more

needed it. His support made the process smooth and stress-free.

I also want to mention that the automated email system is very responsive and reliable. It kept things on track and ensured I didn’t miss any important updates or inquiries.

If you're considering selling your property, I highly recommend giving them a try. Thanks again, Paul and the team!

I used FSBO to sell a property for higher than the estate agent's highest range ($1.7m). i just now used FSBO to lease a high spec architectural investment property in Melbourne (I found that agents letting property didn't really help much). Same FSBO website functionality for both sale and rental, very easy to use. Highly recommend both.

I would not recommend using ‘For Sale By Owner’ for commercial properties. We purchased their 12-month package for $799, which was advertised to list our property on four major sites. Initially, our ad appeared on only two sites, and I had to contact them to have it added to the third and fourth. Despite paying for a full year, our listing was… Read more

removed early and ended up being displayed on just one site - Realcommercial.com.au. This experience was very misleading and felt dishonest. The company claims that your property will be listed on Realcommercial.com.au, Commercialrealestate.com.au, Propertyinvestor.com.au, and Commercialpropertyguide.com.au, but that was not the case for us, nor was it maintained for the duration promised. Customer support was also poor - phone calls were disconnected, and online chat requests went unanswered. There are other advertising platforms that offer better service and results for about half the cost. Overall, I would strongly advise against using ‘For Sale By Owner’ for commercial property listings.

This company is predominantly a site to sell property. I wouldn't bother listing your business for sale. I got 4 'enquiries' in 12 months and to be honest, I felt like they were just taking my money. I didn't really get much support and the time I did reach out, either no response or very short on the phone.

Overall not impressed and wouldn't recommend selling with this company. They were not very transparent on marketing packages and we had to pay hundreds of dollars extra just to have the property ad same size as all the others on realestate.com.au as ours was tiny. I have made multiple phone calls for support and none were returned. Online support… Read more

messages took ages to be answered and when our listing first went live it was in the wrong suburb and took 2 days to be rectified due to technical support being so slow....this lost us our first days as a New listing on the internet. Our first and only offer (We're now 5 weeks in) was lost by the conveyancer as she was extremely rigid with the conditions of contract and it scared the purchaseroff. This conveyancer was highly recommended by For Sale By Owner. All extremely disappointing and frustrating as have spent thousands and don't really know what do now. Oh and to top it off....our listing size will default back to a tiny ad in 10 days as the $1500 upgrade we bought only lasts 30 days.....complete joke.

Highly recommend For Sale By Owner and also For Rent By Owner. We have used them 5 times and even though it is an online portal you can reach out with questions via email/phone and they respond within the hour. We found listing the property/photo's easy and there are small chargers to upgrade but we never needed to use them due to amount of… Read more

quality enquiries/applications we received. In our experience, the listing was live within 30 mins. Over the year's we have saved a lot of money by listing through For Sale By Owner and For Rent By Owner. Very satisfied client.

I absolutely love the system. The ad looks professional on all advertising platforms. Easy to use with immediate notification about the enquiry or application. The application is comprehensive and provides a lot of information about the prospective tenants. It even provides the matching percentage of suitability of the tenant. Highly recommend it and will definitely use it in the future.

I recently advertised a unit for rent on the website "For sale by owner". I found the owner extremely helpful in guiding me through the process. The website is very intuitive and I had my advertisement and photos uploaded within an hour without having to refer to the Admin team for assistance. That is how easy it is and I am 81 years old. I have no hesitation in recommending 'For sale by Owner" as an efficient hosting service.

I cannot rate For Sale By Owner highly enough for renting out your property. It is exceptionally easy to use and to navigate your options, the notifications you receive about all enquiries (text and email) are prompt, sufficiently detailed and easy to respond to, and the entire process is seamless. Thank you for this excellent service!

I highly recommend Forsalebyowner i had total control over everything that was happening in my sale from the start to the end process , the website made it so easy to create the house profile , upload photos , make any changes I needed to prices , photos , written house summary etc . It really was so simple even down to every Enquiry that was… Read more

made on the property through the messaging systems . There was always assistance available if needed . I will definitely use again 5 stars

Selling our home with FSBO was straightforward and satisfying. From our first phone call the staff were knowledgeable and competent. The web portal is intuitive and simple to use. Their review of our draft advertisement was helpful and reassuring. Once the advertisement was posted the system works to enable us to keep control of the selling… Read more

process. Our home sold in one week for more than we were asking. We recommend FSBO to anyone. It is a non-intrusive less stressful way than selling with an agent. Top marks to FSBO.

Nice colourful sign did the job in attracting buyers for my acreage which was 3 is off the main road.Good communication with FSBO and will use them again .Happy to recommend their service to prospective sellers.

Eventually sold the property.It was a long journey. FSBO worked and we saved a bundle in commissions(2.2%) and marketing expenses which generally accounts to 0.5% to 1.0% of the selling price.Conveyancing was a nightmare with the introduction of 10% Foreign Resident Capital Gains Withholding Tax as of 1/01/25.Days of DIY conveyancing kit have gone.

For Sale By Owner Is A 100 Per Cent Positive Experience and would highly recommend to anyone wanting to achieve a positive result for themselves as opposed to just selling Thankyou Team at “ for sale by owner “ King Regards Wayne S Sent from my iPhone
