We have just decided to sell our house, we did the usual thing and called in 3 real estate agents to discuss price and how they will sell our house, 2 of 3 wanted to do an auction..with $3000 advertising..thats expensive!

We both dont work on the weekends when agents do their open homes, we have decided to give it a go at selling our own home, we are using a company called Real Estate By Owner who have a website where we have uploaded our own pics and a description of our home.

We have stated genuine buyers only and have recieved a decent feedback rate so far

Approximate cost: $200

I have just listed my house for sale, I have not used an agent because they are so damn expensive..I believe that I can sell my own house. I am using a website called Real Estate by Owner..I have uploaded pictures and an ad of my house.

The agent wanted $1200 advertising and then I had to pay $9000 in agents commission when my house sold...bugger that!

Approximate cost: $200

I have just listed my land with Real Estate By Owner, its a free service where I can sell my own land or home and save paying agents commissions. The agent wanted $2000 advertising up front and a sales commission of $10,000!

Approximate cost: $0
