Save More Money
Traditional real estate commissions can significantly reduce the amount you receive from your property sale. Selling privately helps you keep more of your property's value.
How It Works
Selling or Renting Your Property Is Easier Than You Think
With Minus The Agent, you can list, market, and manage your property without paying traditional real estate commissions. Our simple step-by-step process gives you access to professional property advertising, expert support, and the freedom to stay in control from listing to settlement or lease.
Made Simple
A Simpler Way to Sell or Rent Property in Australia
Selling or renting a property should be straightforward, transparent, and affordable. However, many property owners believe they have only one option using a traditional real estate agent and paying thousands of dollars in commission.
At Minus The Agent, we believe there's a better option. Our platform is designed for Australians who want to take control of their property journey while still benefiting from professional marketing, nationwide exposure, and ongoing support. Instead of handing the entire process to an agent, you remain in charge of every decision while we provide the tools and guidance to help you succeed.
Whether you're selling your family home, marketing an investment property, leasing an apartment, or advertising vacant land, our process has been carefully developed to make private property transactions simple and stress-free.
From choosing the right listing package to receiving enquiries and completing your sale or lease, every step has been designed with property owners in mind.
Step 1 – Choose the Right Package
Every property owner has different goals. Some simply need their property advertised on Australia's leading property websites, while others want additional marketing tools to maximise exposure.
That's why Minus The Agent offers flexible listing packages designed for different budgets and property types.
Depending on the package you choose, you may receive access to:
- Professional online property advertising
- Premium property listings
- Property brochures
- Signboards
- Marketing upgrades
- Listing management tools
- Expert customer support
Everything is clearly outlined before you begin, allowing you to choose the package that best suits your property and selling goals.

Step 2 – Create Your Property Listing
Once you've selected your package, it's time to create your listing.
Think of your property listing as your first impression. A detailed, well-presented listing attracts more enquiries and helps buyers or tenants understand exactly what makes your property special.
You'll enter important information such as:
- Property address
- Property type
- Bedrooms and bathrooms
- Land size
- Features and inclusions
- Price or rental amount
- Inspection details
- Contact information
You can also upload high-quality images, floor plans, and additional marketing materials to help your property stand out.
If you need assistance, our support team is available to guide you throughout the setup process.
Step 3 – Publish Your Listing
After your listing has been reviewed and finalised, your property is prepared for publication through your selected advertising package.
Professional online exposure helps place your property in front of active buyers and tenants who are already searching for homes across Australia.
Rather than relying solely on local advertising, your property gains access to a much larger audience, increasing the likelihood of receiving genuine enquiries.
This gives your property every opportunity to compete alongside listings managed by traditional real estate agencies.

Step 4 – Receive Enquiries Directly
One of the biggest advantages of selling or renting privately is that interested buyers and tenants contact you directly.
Instead of waiting for an agent to relay messages, you'll receive enquiries yourself, allowing you to respond quickly and build genuine relationships with potential buyers or renters.
Direct communication helps you:
- Answer questions immediately
- Arrange inspections faster
- Build trust with buyers
- Understand buyer expectations
- Stay informed throughout the process
Many property owners find this direct approach both efficient and rewarding.
Step 5 – Arrange Property Inspections
When buyers or tenants express interest, you decide when inspections take place.
Hosting inspections yourself allows you to showcase your property's best features while answering questions in real time.
During inspections you can discuss:
- Recent renovations
- Local schools
- Nearby transport
- Shopping centres
- Parks and recreation
- Lifestyle benefits
- Future development in the area
Your personal knowledge often provides buyers with valuable insights that go beyond a standard property inspection.

Step 6 – Receive Offers or Rental Applications
As interest grows, you'll begin receiving offers or tenant applications.
Unlike traditional agency sales, you're in complete control of every decision.
You can compare offers based on:
- Purchase price
- Settlement terms
- Finance approval
- Conditions
- Preferred settlement dates
- Tenant suitability
There is no pressure to accept the first offer. Instead, you choose the option that best suits your circumstances.
Step 7 – Complete the Sale or Lease
Once you've accepted an offer or approved a tenant, the final stage involves completing the required legal documentation.
Most private sellers work alongside a conveyancer or solicitor to finalise contracts and settlement.
If you're leasing your property, you'll complete the tenancy agreement before handing over the keys.
Although every property transaction is different, our team remains available to provide guidance throughout the process whenever you need assistance.
