I was a bit apprehensive at first about using an online service, but it turned out to be the best decision by far. FSBO is a very professional service and they give you everything you need and answer any questions you have.

The market was slow when I sold and it seemed like I wasn’t getting much interest, however I had a good offer in 5 weeks and had settled within 10. As there is no agent you do need to be prepared to deal with a buyer who will come to you with all questions and panics – and this can be a little stressful! However I have saved over $6000 by not using an agent and in my view it was more than worth it.

I would highly recommend using FSBO and would definitely use them again.

We would like to thank you for your help in finding a buyer for our property in Torrens Park. Jane and I found the whole process to be very efficient and cost effective.

You were very attentive, from the first time we contacted you, you were always available to talk to, and updated the website with any changes we made, always within 24 hours. Buyers were very comfortable dealing with us as owners, in fact many commented that it was a better experience than they had had with agents.

We would highly recommend your company and encourage anyone who is keen to sell privately to use your services.

Having done all our research to settle on our asking price, it was as simple as signing up via the FSBO website, completing the very simple user friendly template and within hours our listing was online with realestate.com.au without a hitch. It was fantastic to have 24/7 access to our listing from then on, be sent regular updates each week on how our on-line campaign was going and to seek advice from the FSBO team as needed.

It was great to be able to manage our own Open home and Inspection times to suit our needs and the feedback from those who came through our home was that it was great to be able to speak directly with us as the Owners of the home rather than an Agent, as we were able to provide much more information on the spot and answer any queries they had.

Overall, our experience with FSBO was a very positive one and I would not hesitate to use them again in the future.

Heather Lynch - Maylands, WA

Thank you all for your very efficient website/listing service. Everyone I spoke to was friendly and very helpful, especially when my computer didn’t play ball in the first few stages.

I managed to sell my unit in Maylands, Perth after just one home open. I had so many enquiries, and found the SMS and email system worked very well. I took a gamble and posted a price about $30,000 – 40,000 more than the estate agent seemed to think I would get, plus didn’t have to pay the commission of $10,000 flat fee! So, lots of savings all round.

Thank you all again and I will definitely recommend your service. By co-incidence I spoke to a colleague at a recent course and she’d used your services successfully too, upon recommendation of her friend who’d been successful. So the wheel goes round!

Greg and Sue Carroll - Eimeo, QLD

Our house went under contract after 3 open houses, and we are finally moving.We found the site easy to use and had a lot of interest in our property.

The pamphlets, advertising, and telephone assistance was most helpful. I’d recommend selling without an agent to anyone who feels they have the negotiating skills to see the sale through.

Thank you for sale by owner!

David Schulberg - Caulfield North, VIC

I always thought that I could represent the property I was selling better than any real estate agent could. With the help of forsalebyowner I was able to affirm that belief and moreover the result achieved fulfilled my expectations.

The facility provided to manage my listing on domain.com and realestate.com.au was very easy to use and provided me with a very convenient means for making changes and publicising inspection times. The ‘For Sale’ board I purchased showed off my property to maximum benefit. Whenever I wanted advice or additional support the forsalebyowner team was there to assist.

I can unreservedly recommend forsalebyowner as a fantastic way to sell your property.

Bryan and Cinzia Forby - Hawthorn, VIC

“Forsalebyowner” offer a fantastic service right from the word go! They organised all the essentials for us, such as a board, brochures and all those sorts of requirements. Best of all (and vital in our opinion) is the vast exposure our property received by way of advertisements they placed for us in all the major real estate sites. This was great and in the end it was instrumental in finding the right buyer.

Service is faultless – someone is always available to take a call or answer an email, or chat with you live. As soon as a prospective buyer posted an enquiry on any of the websites, we received an sms to alert us, as well as an email with the enquirer’s details. We also received the occasional report listing all the properties that sold in our neighbourhood, and market trends, prices, etc. to keep us in the loop.

In all – a positive experience – and an assurance that one can indeed sell one’s own property without always having to rely on a real estate agent. We can do all the right things ourselves just as well with a little bit of effort and the support of such super services such as “forsalebyowner.”

The days of Real estate owners owning lists and that being the point of difference is in the past.

We have achieved a sale and I must say I am very happy I did it myself.

The system you have created and support you provide has resulted in a fast sale at a good price.

For Sale By Owner Reviews: Allison Cunningham
Allison Cunningham - Kettering, TAS

Initially selling our home privately was a daunting thought however after some research, I discovered it was actually fairly simple…. and much cheaper than listing with an Agent! Within a couple of days of signing up to FSBO, we had received our ‘for sale’ sign and our listing went online.

We managed our own open homes and inspections and the feedback from potential buyers was that it was very useful to meet with the owners rather than an Agent, as the owners know the home best and are able to provide thorough information at inspections.

The support from FSBO was excellent and any questions we had were always answered very quickly.

Overall, our expereience with FSBO was very positive and I wouldnt hesitiate to use them again in the future.

For Sale By Owner Reviews: Tracey Ford
Tracey Ford - Victoria Park, WA

I have really learnt a lot about the sales process during the extremely short period my home was on the market. The process was so quick and easy I could hardly believe it.

For the small amount of effort and the big dollar saving from selling my own home I have been so excited by the experience that I have told all my friends and have spoken to a number of prospective buys from my sale about the process. I can hardly believe just how easy and quick it was. I listed on the Wednesday and we were sold on the Saturday evening.

Paul you were wonderful at responding so quickly with any questions I had. I love how all the enquiries came directly to my phone so I was still able to handle the process even when at work. I am very glad I decided to use your service.

Natalia Perez - Townsville, QLD

Thank you FSBO team for all the help you gave me to sell my house. You were very professional, contactable 24hours a day and would give me very good advice in selling my property privately. I would recommend FSBO to anybody.

I received no hassling emails and nothing by support and valuable advice in the process of selling my house. Even through the GFC I was able to sell my house successfully, affordably and in a timely manner. I had many interested sellers contacting me and would definitely use FSBO again for any other properties in my portfolio I choose to sell.

For Sale By Owner Reviews: Anna Boddy
Anna Boddy - Ballajura, WA

Our sale with ForSaleByOwner.com.au was nothing but positive! We listed on the Monday, had our first offer on the Friday, a home-open on the Saturday where 21 interested parties attended, four offers were submitted, and we accepted an offer above the asking price.

Many of the people attending the home open said they were pleased they wouldn’t be paying a higher price to compensate us for a real estate agent’s fee. All of the people at the home-open said they liked that they could speak directly to the home owner and get real answers, instead of real estate agent answers. People also remarked that they didn’t feel we were going to string them a line to get a higher offer, which is an experience they’d had with real estate agents.

The next time I sell, I will use this method. I have already recommended the site to friends (some of whom were sceptical until we sold!) and will continue to do so. The online support and the fast turn-around time for the listing, updates, for-sale board delivery and starter pack was truly impressive and greatly aided our rapid sale.

I honestly have nothing negative to say. Thank you so very much for everything. We truly appreciate your excellent service.

I would totally recommend Forsalebyowner to anyone selling their house. It is easy, straightforward and a simple way to sell your house. You get all the support you need and I am totally blown away at how quick our house sold(one week) and how little I had to do to sell it.

I am still trying to understand how a real estate company was going to charge me 10+ grand to do what I did for 700 using Forsalebyowner, so thank you I am over the moon with the result and will never you use an agent again Forsalebyowner all the way!!

I gave For Sale By Owner a try after 3 estate agents did nothing much to sell my apartment. After collecting the advertising fees, they just never updated me during the exclusive period and i did not know what was going on. Out of frustration in dealing with these Agents, i decided to sell myself and used For Sale By Owner as a platform.

The guys at For Sale By Owner were very prompt and helpful. I managed to advertise my unit immediately and i can deal directly with the potential buyers. I managed to sell my unit when none of the agents could do so. And i saved a bundle on Real Estate Commissions. It was a very straight forward process and I would not think twice about using For Sale By Owner again.

Thanks For Sale By Owner for the assistance.

Thanks for your help in selling my property. I have no hesitation in recommending FSBO to anyone who is selling. The professionalism of the website and support was excellent.

Many people commented that they liked the situation of dealing directly with the owner. I had many offers within the first week and had enquiries from local,interstate and overseas. I sold the property for a good market price in a short time and without the commision I would have had to pay an agent. Thoroughly recommend FSBO.

I highly recommend giving it ago yourself with the help from the guys at For sale by owner.com.au. Meeting prospective buyers gives a nice personal touch to selling the house. You are completely in charge of what you say. It is your home so you are the perfect person to sell it !

Paul and Colin are always available to answer questions.

For Sale By Owner Reviews: Jo Sharp
Jo Sharp - Myaree, WA

Thanks so much for helping us to sell the house. It only took 2 weeks to sell it and we got our full asking price! This was a real blast because the local agents were offering to sell it for much less – so WOW, we sold it for full price AND we didn’t have to pay any agents commissions. We spent a couple of thousand on “dressing it up” the house with furniture and paintings that will be going into our new place. It was worth spending that money because it helped get the sale over the line.

We had plenty of customers as a result of the realestate.com.au placement and many more who responded to the street pointers on the Saturdays we had the house open for inspection. The customer who eventually made the cash offer came from the realestate.com.au site.

And an extra note …. It was great that you were so willing to assist us personally when we had a few questions at the beginning of our journey. It gave us confidence that we could get the help we would need – not that we needed much – it was all very easy.

So thanks again. We will be recommending your service to our friends and family for sure!

Thank you to the FSBO team for the professionalism and high level of service after we signed up to sell our property in Cairns via FSBO. We were very appreciative of your excellent & easy to use advertising system, support, attention to detail, meeting deadlines and professional manner.

The entire experience was very simple and straightforward and we enjoyed being able to communicate & meet possible buyers without being “filtered” by a property sales agent. We achieved our desired sale price and the transparent & cordial sale process was completed without issue.

We are singing your praises to all & sundry. Thanks again.

Just wanting to let you know that we have been very happy with your service. We have recommended you already to a few friends. Our experience to list our property with “For Sale By Owner” has been a very positive and rewarding one for us right from the word go.

The team was always there for us and guiding us through the whole process. It only took us a day to do the photos and to write the editorial. Everything else was supplied, even the material for an open house.

We still can’t believe how easy it was to sell the property ourselves. It saved us about $10,000 in fees. The only expenses we’ve had were the fees for the Solicitor. Everybody looks these days on the net to buy a property. Why not do it yourself?

I did a lot of research before choosing to sell our home privately, and For Sale By Owner far outshone the competitors. Their prompt contact and support along the way provided that extra level of comfort and security when selling such a precious asset as your own home.

They made the listing process extremely quick, simple and were easy to contact at all times of the day and night. After I provided the professional photos the signage was installed in around 2 days, and the property was listed online the very day I submitted the listing.

I found the process to be very easy and stress free, especially as I was in control of inspections and buyers understood we had a young family so had to work around a busy schedule. I would definitely use For Sale By Owner again, they saved me thousands in commission.
