Testimonials

As a single lady on my own I was very overwhelmed with the idea of selling my Strata Titled property myself, however, my friend who has also used for sale by owner twice already, said; ‘its easy just give it a go’. So that’s what I did, and from the very first contact my fears started to fade. That’s when I found out that your never on your own everyone is just a phone call away.

I had two people go through my property and the second one bought it, couldn’t be easier. The last thing I would have to say about for sale by owner, is how professional the whole process is, not just the people, the kit you get sent to you has everything in there that you would need to be organized and confident.

Well done guys!

Thanks to For Sale By Owner after the successful sale of our home. After having the home on the market for 10 months with agents it sold within 6 weeks of our listing with FSBO.

The whole process was very simple and we would highly recommend anyone to give it a try and save dollars!!

The experience we have had selling our own home we would definitely recommend to other home owners. Who better to sell your home other than yourself you know the most about the property the area, neighbours, schools etc.

We opened our house to potential buyers and requested feedback just as an agent would have, except we didn’t have to pay the commission once we sold! Negotiation was a little different as it made me nervous but I persisted and stuck to the price I required and we turned out quite good negotiators.

For sale buy Owner worked for us as sellers as the company assisted in our needs with signage and flyers which looked so professional on the open homes.The service we received was prompt and professional and I loved the very quick responses via email from Paul exceptional.

Thanks for everything Paul we will highly recommend your service to people and I would advise people to give the process a go themselves it is quite self rewarding to achieve the sale!

One has to be prepared to negotiate and liaise with the purchaser of course and have the time to do it. In our case I had the time, and we saved a lot of money by acting as our own agents!

I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to sell my own home, It was an empowering experience placing the SOLD sign up, as I had achieved selling it My Way with Integrity & Honesty.

Throughout the open homes I received very positive feedback from all potential home buyers especially noting my honesty when dealing with their questions etc.. (Real Estate Agents Take Note) When the time arises in the future I will definitely be selling my current home the same way.

Thank you again for making this option available to amateurs like myself, I found all the support & communication from the FSBO team to be very efficient & helpful.

We had our house professionally valued, priced it at $5K less than valuation, and sold it to cash buyer for asking price within 2 months. Around 12 parties contacted us and we are certain genuine buyers were not put off because we were selling it ourselves.

t’s time we all took a stand against outrageous agents fees – especially when they can do the house more harm than good. We will always use FSBO for any future house sales and commend the online and telephone support we received.

My Husband and I were very pleased to deal with For Sale By Owner as when ever we needed them for advice they were on the phone promptly, my only regret was not listening to Colin’s advice when he advised us not to take on a six month long settlement as it was far too long and stressful and as it turned out we had two other offers which could have settled much sooner but we were stuck waiting for our long settlement buyers. We would certainly use For sale By Owner again but listen to their advice next time.

The real benefit is not having to pay a Real Estate Agent the Huge amount of money they demand ! I have already recommended For Sale By Owner To other people and will do it again. Thank You again For Sale By Owner.

Listing my property with For Sale by Owner was one of the best decisions I have made.

2 years ago I had it listed with a real estate agent and had minimal enquiries made. After I paid thousands in Real Estate fees I decided to sell the property myself. Since listing with For Sale By Owner I have sold my property within weeks and at minimal cost. Highly Recommended! Thank you for making it easy!

We have been delighted with our success in selling our property through Forsalebyowner. We had our property listed for sale by an agent last year and pulled it off the market due to no success over a 6 month listing. We decided to use ForSalebyowner and test our luck with a private sale.

I am very pleased with the way everything went. The entire experience was seamless and easy – from signing up, to listing, to help with getting the photos loaded – the team were very responsive and helpful. Also, the online account and the ability to manage our own listing was a real differentiator. I could easily access our listing and make immediate changes to the open house times and some of the ad wording in order to address frequent buyer questions

I would highly recommend forsalebyowner to anyone wanting to take effective control of selling their own property and save on traditional agent commission fees.

We had a good result selling our house through “For Sale by Owner”. We had been thinking about selling for over 4 years as we wanted to downsize in to a Unit. When we finally decided to sell the Agents were all talking about prices in this area of around $365,000, but we needed more, & were confident of getting it.

I looked on the Internet at selling privately, & found “For Sale by Owner”, & signed up. We got more for our Property than the Agents said we would get, (we knew our place was worth more) & we saved nearly $10,000.

So even though it may seem a bit daunting at first, ask yourself this question, – “Who can sell my property better than me”? I personally feel that the owner knows what value it is worth! We have sold 5 properties over the last 36 years of our marriage, this is the first time we have used the Internet, but doing it with “For Sale by Owner” was really easy, & very good value for money, & I personally would recommend it for anyone. All you need is a Conveyancer to do all the ‘Legals’, & you have to have one even when you sell through an Agent.

We had the house on the market for $449,000 and we received $441,000 for it.

Going with forsalebyowner was painless and saved us heaps of commission. We had never sold a property ourselves before. It was great knowing that although we were selling the property ourselves, we were certainly not left to our own devices. Whenever we had a query we just sent an email and it was answered immediately by Paul or Colin.

If we ever choose to sell another property, we’ll definitely be doing it through forsalebyowner. Thankyou Paul and Colin.

A huge thanks to team at forsalebyowner for helping us with selling a piece of land. The whole experience has been hassle free. It was real advantage to deal directly with prospective buyers, it helped to build the trust and made every part of negotiation an honest deal.

We saved heaps by not paying agents fees and getting the price what we anticipated for. I would highly recommend using forsalebyowner to sell your property. Thanks

Thank you so much to the team at forsalebyowner.com.au My experience with your company has been nothing but a pleasurable one, I write this testimony to highly recommend to people that are thinking about selling their home for themselves.

People; do not to hesitate in signing up with Colin and Paul, they are professional real estate marketers and are extremely helpful at every stage of getting a successful result. Whether you’re a seller or a buyer this is the best and cheapest way to sell real estate.

Thank you so much for my journey in selling my home.

What can I say about forsalebyowner.com that hasn’t already been said. I owe the biggest debt of gratitude to for sale by owner, otherwise I would never have sold. Being in a remote area, I have had to deal with local agents that had no interest in advertising outside the area and in some cases not even interested in turning up, and other out of town real estate agents who listed the property and never made contact again, seeming a lack of interest.

The For Sale By Owner Team took up the battle from the very first contact, ensuring local signage, advertising through all major real estate sites, the follow up interest, feed back and suggestions were not only helpful, but made you feel you are not alone. The For sale by owner team were with me all the way.

Thank you and all involved so very much, and I will never sell again with out using forsalebyowner as an important and crucial part for my real estate sale plan.

We would like to thank you for the overwhelmingly positive experience that selling through forsalebyowner has been. We were initially slightly apprehensive about selling ourselves, since this was the first house we had ever sold.

The support that your company provides made the whole experience seamless and gave us the confidence that we were able to carry through with it. Your enquiry system was flawless, enabling us to respond quickly and directly to any potential buyers. An unexpected bonus for us was that potential buyers appreciated being able to contact us directly, resulting in open, honest and direct negotiations.

We’re not normally testamonial writers, but the service you provide is outstanding, and saved us a significant amount of money.

Our main concern was that people wouldn’t want to deal direct with the owner, but we found that all buyers who viewed the property would rather deal direct with the owner and get ‘straight answers’ immediately rather than wait for a real estate agent who would possibly not give a ‘straight answer’. The other bonus was that we were able to be more flexible with our price because there was no commission to worry about, and this resulted in us getting an offer after just two and a half weeks.

I think many people are scared of trying to sell their own property because it is their most valuable asset, but in reality it is no different to selling anything else. The house sells itself and as long as you have a reliable conveyancer or solicitor helping you with the contract of sale and the transfer, then the process is really quite simple. I just find it ridiculous that you can be charged so much in commissions for a service which adds absolutely no value to your property.

To give you a quick example – I am a registered land surveyor and when I carry out a 2 lot subdivision for example, I might charge my client $5k for what will return them $70k in profit. A real estate agent will charge that person $15k to sell that block of land and that is just lost money. It’s a dying “profession” and it can’t die quick enough as far as I am concerned!

We like to thank your team for all expedient and professional advice. You and your team made it so easy for us to tailor our add to our needs and make it great experience for us. We don’t have any hesitation in recommending ‘forsalebyowner’ as we will use them again soon.

I would recommend to anyone wishing to sell their property that they go through “forsalebyowner”. We have had a very positive experience the whole way through.

Initially we had some teething problems getting our property onto the web, however help was just a phone call away. Colin got back to us very promptly and ironed out the issue. The brochure that was put together for us was a great help as were the “open for inspection” signs.

Selling your home isn’t rocket science particularly with the backing of Colin and his team. Well done guys.

A brief note but a huge thanks for your help with selling our home. I can’t imagine that the process could have been any smoother or hassle free.

Dealing directly with the purchaser produced a level of trust that made every part of the negotiation open and transparent and contributed enormously to a speedy move through each stage of the sale. Your site is very user friendly, even for a computer novice like me! The self-generated brochures worked like a charm and went like hot cakes from the container we attached to our gate adjacent to the great For Sale sign. It was from a brochure that the eventual buyer found the property!!

Thanks again guys. You have our unqualified endorsement.

I would like to strongly recommend to anyone that you market & sell your own house; it was such a positve, rewarding experience.

YOU know the house so much better than an uninterested real estate agent. People feel this and respond to it. I sold my house in 3 weeks thanks to forsalebyowner.com.au. They offer a fantastic service with Sales & IT backup at a fraction of the price of an Agent’s commission. Being able to list on Realestate.com and Domain.com gets the message out to the market.

Can’t recommend forsalebyowner.com.au highly enough. Thanks!
