Sell My Land

1. You Don't Need An Agent To Sell Land

In Australia, there is no legal requirement to use a real estate agent to sell land. You also do not need any specific qualifications or approval to do so. Your conveyancer or solicitor or settlement agent will be able to assist with overseeing the signing of the contract, should you wish for this to be done.

You would still need to engage a conveyancer etc. Even if you were selling through an agent. We are happy to recommend someone in your area if you don’t already know of anyone.

2. You Can Advertise Residential And Commercial Land

For Sale By Owner can assist you in advertising your land privately on the main residential sites and commercial sites. The most popular sites in Australia for residential properties are realestate.com.au and domain.com.au For commercial properties, the two main sites are realcommercial.com.au and commercialrealestate.com.au

Please note that which sites to list on will depend on the zoning of your land. Please get in touch with us if you’d like us to advise us on any matters relating to this.

3. Private Land Sales Means No Commissions

When you sell your land privately without an agent, there are no commission fees. Real estate commissions in Australia are very high, and by selling yourself, you can potentially save tens of thousands of dollars in fees. In addition to this, advertising costs will often be lower as well, when compared when selling by using an agent.

Selling a property privately is not difficult, and land is generally even easier, as there are no building inspections or open home inspections necessary.

1. How can For Sale By Owner help me sell my land?

We assist land owners in selling their residential and commercial land privately without the use of real estate agents. The main service we offer is online advertising on the main real estate websites in Australia. Many of these sites do not allow members of the general public to list with them directly.

Instead, this needs to be done through a registered real estate agency. For Sale By Owner is one such agency. We are licensed through all States and Territories of Australia and hold subscriptions with all the websites we publish.

2. Am I legally permitted to sell my land myself?

Yes. Selling your own land in Australia does not need to be done through a real estate agent. No laws prohibit you from doing this yourself, and the process is really relatively easy. We would recommend you engage a professional to help you with the conveyancing, to ensure that there are no issues with the contract and change of ownership.

3. What does it take to sell my land myself?

When selling yourself, you will need to communicate with buyers yourself, and where applicable be able to meet buyers at the site either by appointment or using the open for inspection option with your ad. You will also need to negotiate the price and conditions of the contract yourself. We are able to support you at any stage however and can advise you on most issues relating to the sale of your land.

4. What commission is payable after I sell my land?

Absolutely none. For Sale By Owner does not charge any monthly fees; we also do not charge any commission when you sell. The only fee applicable is the listing fee for any of our packages. This means a saving of thousands of dollars for you. The fees payable to us include the cost to sell your land privately and vary depending on whether you sell residential or commercial land.

5. Can I sell multiple lots of land?

Yes. Several options are available to you, depending on whether or not you want to sell the lots together or separately. Please contact us to discuss your needs, and well will be able to put together a custom package that best suits your needs. We can also assist you with other issues relating to the sale of your land.
