🏡 Letter of Offer Form for Real Estate Buyers & Sellers
Secure your property transaction with our free, legally-informed Letter of Offer template, deal for private sales and For Sale By Owner (FSBO) listings across Australia.
What Is a Letter of Offer?
A Letter of Offer is a formal, non-binding document that allows a buyer to present their purchase terms in writing before a Contract of Sale is prepared.
It outlines key details such as the offer price, deposit amount, conditions (e.g., subject to finance or inspections), and the proposed settlement date. While not legally binding, it plays a vital role in the negotiation process and signals serious buyer interest.
Why Use a Letter of Offer?
Clear Buyer Intent – Demonstrates the buyer’s genuine interest in the property.
Professional Presentation – Adds legitimacy to private sale negotiations.
Simplifies Communication – Helps sellers assess offers efficiently.
Supports Private Sales – Perfect for For Sale By Owner transactions.

We saved Thousands!!! - Very happy, will definitely use again
I was really happy with the service provided by Sale By Home Owner, Always very prompt to any enquiries & delivered everything as promised. I would recommend you try selling yourself as they made it very easy! We saved around $10,500 and will definitely use them again! Thanks very much!
Under Contract in 36 Hours. Quick but Needed Extra Docs
Posted my land for sale and was under contract is 36 hours. The process to set up was easy but the contract part was left up to me as you can’t download a copy of a current residential sale document on line. It is required to be purchased and posted – which didn’t work for our quick sale. I ended up paying my conveyancer to supply. I feel it should be a process all the way to completion and not 80% there
Sold in 8 Days & Saved $20K, First-Time Seller Success
I was able to sell my house for an agreed price within 8 days of listing through Sale By Homeowner. They offered helpful advice to a first time seller and the tools necessary to achieve our goal. By not paying a Real estate agent close to $20000 to do little in a very hot market, it gave me more flexibility when negotiating a sale price. I don’t think I will ever need an agent again. Thanks guys.
Great Team with Regular Updates & Referrals
great mob to deal with very regular updates and referals
Second Sale Success! Easy Process & Big Savings
This is my second sale through Sale By Home Owner, and another success story! Received an offer on the second day after the listing was published. In the end able sold my apartment for a few thousands more than was originally asking. The whole process was easy. The team was very helpful and attentive. Scott replied to my emails and texts veryÊpromptly. Thank you for that, Scott! If you want to save thousands of dollars, please stop using realestate agents. Use Sale By Home Owner instead, you won’t regret!
Full Control, No Agents, Big Savings, highly recommended
Great experience selling my property through Sale By Home Owner. I had full control over inspections, negotiations, and choosing the buyer without any agents involved. It takes patience, but the savings on agent fees are worth it. Highly recommended!
Two-Time Seller, Fast Sales & Great Support
This is my second time using Sale By Home Owner and both times it has been easy and straight forward. They were very helpful and quick to respond to any questions that I had. Both times my property sold fast and with a great result. Highly recommend using them.
Lots of Enquiries, Smooth Sale & Big Savings on Fees
I advertised in late May and had many queries, emails and telephone calls, a client rang that had just sold their home and put an offer on mine just by an inspection of the home, loved it and now they are the new owners of Serrata Springs which I will sadly miss but new beginnings. I saved money as the agent wanted to charge me $2,000 plus for advertising and then take a commission on top of that so I would recommend to anyone wanting to sell, go through homeowner.com.
