Yes you’re quite right Jamie, it is a good way to purchase and an even better way to sell. No commission whatsoever.

Corey, it’s not fair to say we circumvent the agent only rule on realestate.com.au, as we are indeed an agent and in fact we are licensed throughout Australia as an agent, which costs us thousands of dollars a year.

The people doing the circumventing really were the original agents whom pressured realestate.com.au to resist the perfectly…[Read more]

I thought I should update this old thread because private sales on realestate.com.au while still officially prohibited by REA are now a reality and something we facilitate every single day. Just so there is no more confusion,our company fought realestate.com.au successfully in 2011. We launched a very serious and very well documented complaint…[Read more]

I think that its a far better use of time, and money to fully research the buyers group with as much conviction and care as you would the property. I see no need to visit the states when the internet has everything you need to complement a carefully chosen buyers group. After all real estate is the same the world over – location first and…[Read more]

Jo, a good real estate agent read magazine is called SOLD. Their url is sold-magazine.com.au<moderator: delete advertising>Andrew

As a real estate agent I can tell you to stay well away from anything even suspected of termite damage. It will make resale incredibly hard. The mere mention of termites, even if treated will forever cruel the property. Its a stigma you don't need. It's becoming a buyers market anyway so why create a real estate headache when there are many great…[Read more]

I am confused. If you could get a US lender on a US house and with Australia's exchange rate both favourable now and for the foresable future where is the issue?At this moment its a triple whammy. US property is cheap, lending is cheap and if the asussie dollar either rises further against the US or even retains parity with AUD then that is in…[Read more]

And don't forget that if you want to sell with an agent and yet pay zero commission ( yes you heard me right ) there are tools available to do that. <moderator: delete advertising>  I have just seached this forum and there is a scarcity of info about this. Private sale and no commission is not just alive and well, it's fast becoming the selling…[Read more]

Hi kevin, I would like a review copy if still available and you might like to input my company url into a resources section of your ebook <moderator: delete advertising>Andrew Blachut

Well done Nat

Would you permit me to use your story in my ebook about private selling? Your story is somewhat typical of many I have heard especially when the market isn’t booming and agents are finding it tough going.

At the end of the day, the commission will always colour their jugement no matter how ethical and good hearted they may…[Read more]

Great post above, Adam

I agree 100% with you about the real estate agent fear tactic. The one you illustrated is one of many that are used.

By the way Tanya, I got down to your later post and noticed your home is in SA.. We will offer a more basic version of our private seller option in all states sooner rather than later. The new Private…[Read more]
