Gold Package

The Gold Package can be useful for selling homes of all prices, especially if you want better online, physical, and local visibility without paying agent commission.

Our Gold Package includes access to our ProShop and AI tools, customer support, and expert advice from our licensed agents. And, once your listing is up, you’ll also receive weekly insights so you can analyse buyer engagement and adjust your strategy for maximum results.

While they’re not a requirement, professional photos can help highlight your property’s assets, drive engagement, and increase inspections. All of this can drive demand for your home and potentially lead to a better selling price.

“Sell by owner” means the homeowner stays closely involved in the sale. You handle buyer conversations, inspections, and negotiations, while using a structured service to advertise the property properly and keep everything organised. It suits owners who want more involvement and want to avoid the traditional full-service commission model.

Yes. SaleByHomeOwner.com.au is designed to be mostly DIY, but homeowners can have as little or as much support as they need. Most owners find the process easy and don’t require much assistance. Others, such as retirees or anyone not confident with computers, prefer more hands-on help setting up their ads, and our team can assist by phone and online.

You purchase the Gold Package, create your account, and add your property details, photos, and key information. Our platform is intuitive and easy to use, and we also provide helpful tutorial videos that walk you through the process step-by-step.

Our team reviews the listing and any edits to help ensure everything aligns with portal requirements and the relevant state or territory laws and guidelines.

To verify ownership, homeowners will be required to provide proof of ownership documents. This typically includes photo ID and a current council rates notice for the property. Our team will contact you to request these, and in some cases we may also phone you for additional verification.

Once your listing is approved and published, homeowners receive the enquiries linked to the listing and can arrange inspections and negotiate directly, with support available if needed.

Yes. SaleByHomeOwner.com.au operates as a licensed real estate agency across Australia. This is important because it means listings and edits are reviewed before publishing, and homeowners can access support from licensed agents while still running their sale in a DIY style.

Yes. All listings and edits are reviewed and checked before publishing to help ensure the content is compliant with the relevant state or territory laws, industry guidelines, and portal guidelines.

Before you launch your property online, check our Helpful Links menu and read the Legal Requirements Before Listing section. Some states require sellers to have certain documents prepared before marketing begins, such as a contract of sale or property disclosure documents. If you’re unsure what applies to you, review that section first, then contact our team for guidance.

Homeowners receive the enquiries linked to their listing, so you can reply to buyers, answer questions, and book inspections. If you want help with what to say or how to handle common questions, our team can guide you.

Yes. You can write the ad yourself, get guidance from our team, or use our tools to speed it up. Many homeowners use our free AI tools to generate a professional headline and description in seconds.

When you’re logged into your account, go to the Free AI Tools section, enter a few details about your home, and you’ll get a strong draft you can paste into your listing and tweak to suit your property.

Buyers care about clarity, presentation, and responsiveness. Use quality photos, keep your ad easy to skim, and reply quickly to enquiries. Have key information ready, like upgrades, rates, and building details. If you want extra confidence, our licensed team can help you refine the listing wording and presentation.

Start with the lead photo and headline because they drive clicks. Next, review pricing, since price is the most common reason enquiries slow down. Then tighten the first paragraph so it’s clearer and more benefit-focused. If you want, our team can review your listing and suggest changes that often lift response quickly.

You can negotiate directly with the buyer, then engage a conveyancer or solicitor to handle the contract and settlement. If you want guidance on the steps, our team can help you understand what usually happens next, while your conveyancer manages the legal work.

You do. With a for sale by owner approach, homeowners can price their own property from day one. Agents can often be wrong with appraisals, and if you asked five different agents for five appraisals, you’d likely receive five different suggested price ranges.

With SaleByHomeOwner.com.au, you can launch at the price you want and adjust it when you’re ready. There’s no pressure from an agent pushing for price reductions. You set the pace and stay closely involved in the pricing strategy.

A good starting point for selling home by owner is researching real sold results. Check the sold sections on realestate.com.au and Domain, search your suburb, and compare your home to the most recent similar sales. Look at your property from a buyer’s perspective and aim for a realistic market price based on what comparable homes are actually selling for, not just what other sellers are asking.

You can. When selling property by owner, many homeowners still request an obligation-free market appraisal from one or more local agents. They’ll usually provide recent comparable sales and a suggested price range. Some agents may try to pressure you to list with them after the appraisal, so it helps to be clear upfront and stick to your guns.

If you want a more formal benchmark while you sell your house yourself, a licensed valuer can provide a fair market valuation. These typically cost a few hundred dollars, and valuers are also the professionals banks use when homeowners refinance. It’s optional, but it can be helpful if you want extra confidence on price.

A simple strategy when you sell your own home is to reassess every 1 to 2 weeks after listing. Look at enquiry levels, inspection numbers, and buyer feedback. If interest is low, a small price adjustment can help attract more buyers. This is the same basic process most agents follow, and it often helps move a property toward a sale.
