Very Satisfied – Your service was great. My property was under a buffer restriction and took 3 years to sell but you kept my listing up and I received calls and enquiries so I am very satisfied with your service, thankyou.
No communication!!! – I paid to have my property listed with this company. Then it suddenly disappeared off realestate.com.au. I have tried to call, text, message and email multiple times and no one has responded to me.
Unprofessional, inadequate and Scam. DO not Use!!! – I used this service in 2022 because it was the cheapest on the market. It was not easy to use, even though I am computer literate. You dont get to preview your listing before it goes online, which is frustrating.I also had to contact the owner because friends texted the advertised number on the listing were not getting my contact information!

house sold quickly, so i thought I'd just chalk that error up to a one off mistake on their behalf. Listed a new property 2 weeks ago. Two days ago my listing disappeared from realestate.com.au without explanation. I've rung, texted and emailed the company to ask what's happened and get it restored immediately. No response at all. It's still on other real estate websites though. At this point I'm requesting a refund via my bank and contacting the ACCC. It's not worth losing potential buyers just to save money with this dodgy service.

FALSE ADVERTISING SCAM – advertised ‘listed until sold’ is a scam, deleted our listing when we had good enquiries loosing sales op. They kept trying to sell us the premium package so then deleted the basic package we’d paid for. Would not reply or answer phone. DONT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY.
Pretty sure have been scammed – I paid or the service from the website on the 25/5 for $300 + $100 for a sign, he said it would be on realestate.com.au for the weekend. It did not go up. No communication from [Name Removed] other than a phone call on the 25/5 asking for $600 more. I declined. I contacted him Monday 29/5. He said he will no longer offer the $300 service and will… Read more
refund my money. Have tried to call back, no answer and no refund, this has been a total fraud. Looking forward to visiting the office.

It's ok but not an automated process - update TOTAL SCAM – Update. It has been a few weeks now. They don't respond to emails, don't change listings promptly, can't get photo uploads correct and the edit link has been down for two days. Have asked for a refund and will lodge a complaint with DMIRS and my bank as I now have to start the process again with a reputable company. Lesson learned. I was trying… Read more
to decide between a few of these services and picked this one based on pricing. However the upgrade to the premium made it significantly more expensive. I think it has potential to be good but I have run in to a few issues.
I paid for a weekly summary and although my listing is 18 days old, I have only received one. The update to realestate.com is not instant like with the other services. I uploaded an amendment for a home open and did not give enough time to do it so I missed it. I updated yesterday for 3 more time slots and it still hasn't been done. It is for tomorrow. I have not received the report yesterday and emailed to ask for it, no response as yet which concerns me. My first round of inquiries went to my junk mail. Although I had added them to safe senders, the email came from another account and was "caught". By the time I got the report, about 9 days after the listing, I saw I had inquiries and had to find the emails so I had missed those people. One person called me this week and told me he thought I was a scammer because it says to text a code to contact rep. To be fair, that does sound a little scammy.
I didn't understand the process so this may help others to be aware that the uploads are not instant and you are at the mercy of human intervention. I think this would be better if the process was automated and instant.
100% recommend Sell My Own Place – Located in Braybrook, Victoria I decided to list my three bedroom townhouse with the biggest agent in the area. The townhouse was fully renovated and had all the bells and whistles (New kitchen, laundry, bathroom, carpet, paint etc). I purchased the premium advertising package with the agent ($2000) and they listed the property in January this… Read more
year (2022), basically the peak of the market. After 100 days and a heap of excuses the agent had a grand total of three buyers through the property with zero offers.
Feeling frustrated with the agents poor performance I decided to take a risk and do it myself. I read some reviews for Sell My Own Place and thought it was worth the $400 fee. Within the first week I had more buys through the property than the agent did in 100 days. Three weeks later the property was SOLD and I settled today.
100% recommend Sell My Own Place. Saved at least $14,000 on agents fees and would have saved more if I went with them from the beginning.
I’m super happy with the result – I made contact through the website and within 24hours I received a call from Debbie and we discussed my needs. She was so polite over the phone and very transparent about the process and patient with me in understanding everything since I had never done anything like this before. I sent her some photos of my home and a blurb about it and within a… Read more
couple of days it was listed on all the major websites. A week and a half and one open house later my house was sold for the listed price. Debbie always kept in contact with me and if she missed my call she always called back within an hour or so. She was so friendly, really knew her stuff and I felt like she was in my corner when I was doing something I didn’t 100% understand how to do. I would absolutely have no hesitation in calling her again and would highly encourage people to do the same. Even though Debbie and Rob were in QLD and I am in country NSW, it felt like they were around the corner. We made a great team and I’m super happy with the result we achieved together.

Negative reviews
DELETED OUR LISTING WHEN WE WERE TRYING TO SELL – We bought the basic package. They said it would be listed until SOLD, that was important to us so no time factors involved. We were working hard to SELL. THEY DELETED OUR LISTING. Wouldn't return our calls or emails. Ghosted us. DODGY AS! All advertising states online listing with realestate.com.au & other sites until SOLD.

Rubbish avoid – They don’t listen to emails they send you a link that you can’t remove pics from because the link doesn’t have any of the photos you put up! Refuse to remove my ad and had my house on the market for way to long when I had decided not to sell it.
Definitely would not do it again – Havent found the process good so far. Find it difficult to get emails answered and when finally made contact, not helpful at all. Would not do this process again with this company.

Good Customer Service – Easy to set up our property for selling, got the results we needed. Highly recommend if you are selling your home yourself. Good customer service if you have any questions.
Well done! – Your service was absolutely great, it is refreshing when the phone is answered and it is a company director who knows exactly what they are doing - well done
Sell My Own place was a great way for us to control the selling process and save money – Using Sell My Own place was a great way for us to control the selling process and save money. As we had the means to take photos of the property and facilitate inspections, our only cost was the listing fees and some time. I like to deal directly with people, so did not want the unnecessary involvement of an agent. Agents wanted about $15,000… Read more
minimum and that money is best in my pocket. Customer support was great and there are many options for tailoring the selling package to suit all people. Thank you to the team at Sell My Own Place!

Saved a lot of money – I recommend selling your home or land using Sell My Own Place. I sold withinin three weeks and saved myself a whole lot of money. It was very straight forward.
Extremely well priced and easy to work through – Extremely well priced and easy to work through. Editing our listing was easy to update when we required different open inspection dates, pricing changes and copy updating. We received emails forwarded to us and followed up directly with the purchaser. It was great to have control of the sale and receive the property listing updates.
Great way to sell my house – This was a great way to sell my house. Sold it in 2 weeks of it being listed. Great customer service and responded to emails within a couple of hours.
Very Easy – The Sell My Own Place platform is very easy to navigate. My house sold in 4 days. I definitely recommend having a go at selling your own home, it might be easier than you think.
It paid off! – Sometimes it’s just better to do it yourself. When estate agents could not set a price and their estimates were so far apart, when they didn’t pick up on the philosophy of the home (ours was a custom design and build) and the hidden features, I decided to do it myself. It was my home so I set the price and it paid off.
Easy and affordable! – A very easy and affordable way to sell your home, we very much recommend it if you feel confident to do the work and especially the negotiations your self as you will always be in control, good luck folks !
Excellent, streamlined service – Excellent, streamlined service. Love not needing to call anyone, and just using the edit form to make any adjustments needed. Absolutely worth the money it costs and has saved us!
I highly recommend this company – I highly recommend this company and would definitely use their services again. They made selling my home so easy and the amount saved in commission was well worth the effort. Thank you Sell My Own Place!!
