GOING ... going ... gone! Save thousands of dollars by selling your house yourself
No one knows your house better than you – so who could be better at selling it than you?
So, you’re thinking about selling your home. It’s such an exciting and nerve-wracking time. Each decision you make feels bigger than the last.
Undoubtedly, the fist decision you’ll need to make is whether to appoint a real estate agent or roll up your sleeves and do it yourself – and the cost difference can be huge!
For the sake of comparing oranges with oranges, let’s say you’re in the market to sell a $600,000 home.
Going through a real estate agent to sell your property could set you back around $15,000 in commissions*…and that’s before they draw up the bill for any marketing they undertake for your property, which could end up in the thousands of dollars quicker than you can say “sold”.
On the other side of the fence, there’s homesales.com.au, the latest brain child from the bunch at carsales.com ltd. offering you a way to keep your hard earned dollars in your pocket where they belong.
homesales.com.au has three main packages designed to suit a range of homeowner needs, all of them include the benefit of zero commission fees and no huge advertising bills, and for a limited time, you can even list your property on homesales.com.au at no cost – yep, FREE!
But it’s not all about saving you money. homesales.com.au goal is to deliver you fantastic results and a cost effective solution to keep you in control of how you sell your home and have you pulling up the driveway of your new home sooner than you think.

There are other simple things you can do to improve your listings too.
By adding descriptive text, accurate photos and a realistic price to your property listing, you’ll have a better chance of attracting genuine buyers and ultimately selling your home.
You don’t have to be totally DIY either when selling your home with homesales.com.au. If you don’t feel confident arranging open homes and negotiating the sale of your own home, you can always appoint a Real Estate Agent to oversee the sale in a limited capacity. You’ll still save thousands of dollars in advertising fees and could be able to negotiate the size of your agents’ commission too.
So you’re sold on selling your own, where to next?
If you’re in the market to sell your home, it’s likely you’re in the market to buy a new one too. So, with this in mind we put together a few of the most important things you’ll need to consider before purchasing your next home in the learning centre at homesales.com.au.
