  There are different methods used by Real Estate Agents, when conducting Buyer Inspections. Is is a very important part of the selling process and requires some explanation. ReDIY has great tips on what to do when selling your house privately. Prior to the inspection, you will have made a decision as to how you will handle the inspections. Open For Inspection -v- Privately appointed Inspections. A good suggestion is to do a combination of both. It is very important to obtain the full name and contact details of every person who inspects the property. The Open House. Advertised with an address. You do not really know who is inspecting, whether they are Buyers, Lookers, Agents or even Sellers. Sellers look through open homes, for a comparison to their own, prior to going on the market.

Sell your land privately in Australia

Selling a block of land, no Agent, no commission, makes perfect sense The first thing to do when considering selling, is to prepare the property. A block of land? So, the first step is easy. It's not like there is a great deal of preparation required. Presuming it's a building block, have it cleared of debris and mowed. If it's acreage, it will depend on it's purpose. Next, make sure all relevant documentation is in order and at hand. You then have to think about letting buyers know it is for sale. Signboard A "For Sale" sign on the block of land will let people know. It is your 24hour salesperson. It is there for all to see. Even on a quiet street, the signboard is letting the neighbourhood know. Passers by may have friends or family that are looking to buy in the area. ReDIY can organ...

  If you do not let buyers know that it is for sale, how can they buy it? There's a well used saying in Real Estate. How can you sell a secret? This is used to convince sellers that they need to spend thousands of dollars for marketing. Obviously the more marketing of a property, the more exposure for the Agent. You do not need to spend thousands and you do not need to market yourself. Advertising on the major sites with ReDIY.. The property needs to be advertised where genuine buyers will find it.

  Not all Real Estate Agents are the same Not necessarily, is the short answer. There are many factors to consider before this question can be truly answered. Where they advertise the property, the actual advertisement, their pricing of the property, how they represent the price, how they handle the enquiry, how they conduct the inspections and how they negotiate with the purchaser are the main ones. Not all Agents are the same. As well as these, if you do decide to appoint an Agent, you want one who listens to you, one you feel you can trust, one you like, one you feel is experienced and competent and one that communicates often with you throughout the selling process. Before appointing an Agent, it is good practise to interview at least 3 local Agents. It's like getting a quote from a tradesman, normally you obtain 3. ReDIY can list your property on Major Real Estate Websites ReDIY ...

    Selling you property yourself can have some issues. No enquiry, no interest, no inspections, no offers or low offers which all mean no sale. We will cover some of them here.

This will not only save you thousands in commission, there will be savings on marketing costs. What experience does ReDIY have to assist Private Sellers?

ReDIY has the answer. It is easy, Pay only $299 plus GST, no commission, advertise on the major Real Estate Sites, present the property in its best light, have good, quality photos and an appealing text and conduct research to assist with the pricing of the property. When the decision is made to sell the property, the first thing that many sellers do, is to interview 2 or 3 local agents. From these appraisals, the main answers that the Seller will be seeking are - What the property is worth and what the selling costs will be. These answers will vary, in most cases. Commission rates vary, on average between 1% and 4% of the value of the property, i.e giving away 1% to 4% of the value of the asset. Then there is the marketing costs, most Agents require this up front - whether they sell the property or not. Obtaining from the Agent what they believe the property will sell for, is not always easy. They want to win the business. Often the agent who suggests a higher selling figure is not al...

Rental Property In Australia

    There could be several reasons why you are not receiving enquiries on your rental property. No enquiries means no inspections which means no tenant which then means loss of income. It's a Secret. The first question that comes to mind is "Where is it advertised?" Is it being advertised on the major real estate sites? Tenants cannot enquire if they are unaware it is available for rent. Gumtree is certainly not the first place that potential tenants would visit to find a rental property. That's their "go to" site when they are looking to purchase an item, at hopefully a bargain price. Let ReDIY tell all the tenants that the property is available to rent now. Realestate.com.au and Domain.com.au are the largest Residential Real Estate Sites in Australia. It is mostly Realestate, however, Domain does have a monopoly in some states. These 2...
