Sell Your Property Privately
Sell Your Home Privately
If you want to sell your home privately, you can take a more direct role in the property-selling process. Instead of relying on a traditional real estate agent to manage the entire sale, you can advertise your property, communicate with potential buyers, arrange inspections and manage offers yourself.
Minus The Agent provides residential sales packages to help private sellers advertise their properties while staying involved in the sale.
A Direct Approach to Selling Your Property
How to Sell a House Privately in Australia
Selling a house privately means managing key parts of the sale yourself rather than appointing a traditional real estate agent.
A typical private property sale can involve:
- Preparing your property for sale
- Deciding on an asking price

- Advertising the property
- Responding to buyer enquiries
- Arranging inspections
- Reviewing offers
- Negotiating with interested buyers
- Completing the transaction with the appropriate professional support
The exact process can vary depending on the property and transaction.
The main difference is that you remain directly involved in the communication and decisions throughout the sale.
