Browse Forums Real Estate Re: Anyone sell their own property (no agent)? 100Jan 05, 2021 8:36 am There is a site called RENTBETTER, which charges around $500 to list on realestate and domain and lots of free ones. I found tenants thru them, so I would only have to pay $350 to sell it myself. The first tenant ran a brothel in my house, but the second tenants are worth their weight in gold. When I wanted to report the brothel tenant to the database the rental agents keep, I was told that for privacy reasons I cannot do that, so the tenants rental agencies send you may still be criminals! Where a lot of money is at stake as in the real estate game, morality goes out the window! I do not know how much Fleabay or Gumtree charge for ads. You can always try it yourself and if you are not successful, then get an agent and negotiate the commission with them. Good points were made before re agents only opening houses for one or two hours, which is very convenient for them, but not for buyers having to rush around, so open it longer yourself or offer "By Appointment". Another question is why you have to sign an exclusive sales contract, does the agent believe you could also sell it yourself? If your house is still lived in, then make sure children cannot "relocate" anything. My house will be empty as I have a newly built house to go to. My daughter's house in Melbourne was empty after tenants, so she paid a company $4,000 to temporarily put in fancy furniture and take professional photos. What is very interesting is that as a seller I have to sign a "Property Condition Report" as part of the "Offer and Acceptance" claiming in gruesome detail everything is OK. The agent is not legally obliged to inform buyers that such a report is available for viewing! When I bought what later became a "brothel", I would have appreciated such a report as the condition of the house was not the best.
