Private Property Sales
Can You Sell a House Privately in Queensland?
Yes. Property owners can sell their property without using a traditional real estate agent.
Selling privately means you take responsibility for the day-to-day selling process. This can include preparing your listing, setting your asking price, responding to enquiries, arranging inspections and negotiating with buyers.
The legal requirements still apply. Before advertising your property, speak with a Queensland solicitor or conveyancer about the contract of sale and documents relevant to your property.

Sell Without an Agent
Sell Your House Without an Agent in Queensland
When you sell without an agent, you communicate directly with buyers instead of relying on a traditional agent to manage every enquiry.
This can give you greater control over:
- Buyer communication
- Inspection times
- Property presentation
- Offer discussions
- Negotiation
- The timing of your sale
The trade-off is that you need to stay organised and respond to buyers yourself.
Read our guide to selling a house without an agent for more information.
Buyer Management
Managing Buyer Enquiries, Inspections and Offers
Once your listing is live, buyer communication becomes an important part of the campaign.
A simple process is:
- 1 Enquiry
- 2 Questions
- 3 Inspection
- 4 Feedback
- 5 Offer
- 6 Negotiation
- 7 Contract
Keep a record of buyer enquiries and inspection feedback. If several buyers show interest, having clear records can make it easier to compare offers and decide how you want to proceed.
Legal questions about contracts and special conditions should be referred to your solicitor or conveyancer.
