All Topics / Overseas Deals / Avoid paying realtor and agent fees
I’ve found this site on the internet that offers excellent service. It only cost $490 to get your property on the site which includes 30 days as a featured property. It’s even great coz you don’t have to pay any commissions. In fact it’s the most used site by property buyers in Australia to look for property. They even have some free tips on the site for those who want to do most of the work selling.
Why not try visiting http://www.happeningrealestate.com.au for more informations.
I guess this would benefit all of you….
Hey, that's a rye one Rye.
In fact it’s the most used site by property buyers in Australia to look for property.
I wonder what RealEstate.com would have to say about that statement?
Good luck to you, selling property for $3000 commission makes me wonder what you do for the Client for your money.
Hi Jon,
He was talking about realestate.com. The link is for a company that will put a FSBO listing on realestate.com for $490. Personally, I think it is an excellent option. I have always felt that everyone should get paid for the work that they do. I once had 2 properties with the same agent, a vacent block comission $2300 and a house comission $17600. When I asked if there was any difference in the work (ie will you work the same to sell the cheaper one) the answer was, "we work the same on all listings"……..SO…….Why then do you charge so much extra for the same work??????? As a sales rep I certainly couldnt charge a Doctor more for the same service than a teacher. I am all for a flat fee service.

Time is much much more important and much more valuable than money!
I have an agent's license and can sell properties any time and also list on realestate.com.au which is a much better site, however I outsource the sale of my own properties to other agents so that it can save me TIME!!!
yep. i agree. time is more important than money. you can't get back time that has been lost but you can always find money.
Thought I’d mention Remoov as an option to FSBO websites. We’re actually registered real estate agents, we just don’t charge any commissions. So you could save up to $15k on a $500k property. We’re able to charge the rates we do because everything is managed online – however we’re always available for phone and email support.

Is it really the same work? Selling a vacant block, you see what you get, you are buying development potential etc. There are no 'open houses', ensuring that the owners have prepared the property for sale before each OFI. You only get a certain cross-section of the market interested in buying land.
The comment that the agents work the same on all listings refers to the 'sales process' – marketing, getting prospective buyers interested, arranging inspections, fielding questions/offers, conditioning vendors/buyers, closing the deal. The amount of work ie time required varies significantly.
