It is not possible to do a private sale on realestate.com.au. However, we offer an alternative - a HIGHER service level with EVEN MORE for you for just $297 upfront,  and $350 payable upon settlement (including GST). The property will be up for a full month, and you can extend the period it is up for $87/month (if you need it). The best thing to do in a buyers market is to price your property at a level where solid interest will exist. By using our services you save THOUSANDS of dollars on agents. We get you on realestate.com.au ("Featured" is an extra $275 per 30 days), on domain.com.au PLUS more sites, and work for you right through to settlement. Call now on 1300 725 853 or 0434-288723 to take advantage of this NOW.

We will provide the service of an agent to you - giving comparable sales, market analysis, unbiased advice, helping you choose marketing options, negotiating on your behalf with potential customers, preparing paperwork and liasing with inspectors, valuers and solicitors until settlement.  

We will even come out and conduct an inspection for clients in the Greater Brisbane region - there is a fee for service of $220 per visit for this. But you can save this if you show your own property!

On successful sale and settlement you will pay just $350 (inc GST).

Many of our clients have successfully sold like this and saved a bundle of money.

What could YOU do with an extra $10,000 in the bank for a few hours work?

The above deal applies when you show your property.

The deal below is for people who will show their own homes.

Folks, the real estate industry is changing. It has to.

Recent surveys have shown that 90% of all property buyers in Australia use the internet to look for property. And which site on the internet do you think most of them use? In the State of Queensland, its clear. Its realestate.com.au. Recent audits show they get in excess of 900,000 property searches monthly for Queensland alone.

With us, you can get on all the really important property portals - realestate.com.au, domain.com.au, homehound.com.au and others.

I have never listed a property on realestate.com.au without at least HUNDREDS of people individually looking at the advertisement. And if you are happy to take the best realistic current market price from a qualified buyer for your property, in most cases you will also be able to sell your property too.

Michael Fackerell working with Nuar Pty Ltd t/as Place2Live is offering real estate agency services to people who feel comfortable in showing their own property. We offer you the superior marketing power that ONLY A LICENSED REAL ESTATE AGENT can offer, but we don't charge high commissions like so many.

A lot of agents will urge you to spend thousands on newspaper advertising - but how many would spend THEIR OWN money on this to do the job of selling your property (and promoting their agency in the process)? There are a few - and the ones I know of ALSO charge the MAXIMUM allowable commission on your sale as well. Neil Jenman in his book, "Don't Sign Anything", says "One of the major reasons for advertising is to promote agents, not to sell homes". But as far as I know, all Jenman agents today, while they don't advertise homes in newspapers, they certainly put their properties on important sites like realestate.com.au

If newspaper advertising alone could sell your property for a good price, why use an agent? We think there are times to use newspaper ads, and we certainly can help you do this as a service where required, but be sure that THE INTERNET as well as SIGNS are the primary ways people sell perhaps 80-90% of property TODAY. Newspaper ads might bring in 5-10% of the sales today. They will cost you a lot of money one way or the other.

The problem for private sellers is that they are NOT allowed to use the realestate.com.au portal to sell their property. Private sellers can certainly use certain websites especially created for this purpose, but the reach is not so great. For this reason, many elect after some time to go with agents who charge hefty commissions, because they want their property SOLD. So many times the agent does not need to do too much but take the calls, show the house and sign the papers! Its a very well paid service at times. Maybe TOO well paid.

We offer the essential services of a real estate agent without charging the hefty commissions. We market for you online, we negotiate, we liase, we arrange inspections and we help qualify the customers for you. Believe me, when you get the settlement statement from your conveyancer after you sell your property, you will be glad if you are not paying 2.5% + $450 plus GST in fees, if you go with us!

On the other hand, if you go with a traditional agent who sells your property, it WILL BE THERE and you will feel it (if you look at the settlement statement).

Here are some important things that are involved in selling property.

1. Present your property as best as you can.

If you don't do the cosmetic renovations needed on your property, your buyer is the one who will profit from it. Keep your house clean, do some basic landscaping if need be, paint the walls if need be, and fix little problems. The buyer should feel that he doesn't have to do much to enjoy your property. Then he will pay more when he buys.

2. Market your property at the correct price. If you place the price too high, buyers will not even enquire. After some weeks your property will go "stale" and people will wonder what is wrong with it. So get a realistic market appraisal. Look at recent property price sales in the area. Look at what is currently for sale in your area on leading real estate portals. Be really honest. If you were a buyer who wanted your kind of property, what would you be willing to pay? Sometimes it is worth paying for the services of a registered valuer especially where comparable properties are hard to find. But in a fast moving market, I think a real estate agent could give you a better idea, because valuers have to be conservative.

3. Market your property on the best portal - realestate.com.au. Here is where we can help you. If you list your property with us, we will charge you just $297 to list your property on realestate.com.au and domain.com.au UNTIL SOLD. There will be a mere $350 admin fee payable only on successful settlement if we sell it for you. Included in this fee, we will provide you with an attractive sign, and we will also upgrade your property to "Featured Property" status for the first 30 days as well. Of course we will show your property on our happeningrealestate.com.au site, but make sure you get it on realestate.com.au for best results.

With this domain.com.au your property will also be mailed out to all their database of people looking for property in that area. What a great deal!

We do reserve the right to increase these fees at any time - and we are being urged by some to do so - so if you want to sell and reduce your debt burden, NOW is a great chance to get started at a low cost.

The form 22a listing document will explicitly state that there is only a $350 commission payable upon settlement. This can save you MANY THOUSANDS of dollars. We will take calls and enquiries, arrange inspections, and we will help you through the entire process.

Please note that this offer is currently for property owners in Queensland only. We can list in NSW through an associate.

If you are thinking of selling, why not get started today? Give us a call on 07 3388-2713 or 0434-288723 and you could have your property up on all the important real estate portals even TODAY!

We welcome your email enquiries also. For a free consultation and/or market appraisal, please send an email with your name and property details to
