Why pay $25,000 to an agent when you can do the same thing for less than $700?
So you've decided to put your home on the market... You've spoken to multiple agents who have told you they have buyers waiting... They've told you the market is strong and that the house should sell quick...
Lets say you put the house on the market, it goes onto realestate.com.au, a buyer see's it later that week, they inspect the property, make an offer and the property is now Sold...
Being conservative, that agent most likely spent 2 hours with you for the listing presentation, they then spent another 30 minutes writing the ad for the property, and probably around 1 hour meeting the buyer, taking their offer, negotiating the deal & getting it accepted...
Thats 3 hours and 30 minutes total work for a $25,000 pay check! - Which works out to be over $7,142 per hour! All for an ad that you could have written yourself and placed online & been seen by the exact same buyer on the exact same website...
Selling your home Privately is not only financially rewarding, it's just common sense...
