I love this site,I use it whenever I'm looking for a place to rent,commercial or private.my ex and I also bought our house after finding it on the site.very informative,they have lots of pictures,and the real estates details,plus you can apply for the property online!so helpful,you can apply for properties all at same time instead of going to different real estate buildings!you can also customise the search engine to your price preference,rooms pets etc,very handy.i recommend it to anyone I know looking to buy,sell or rent property!

Realestate.com.au is easily the best place to search for property, as the range and volume saves a lot of time and cuts down the need to do the same search on multiple sites. The map-view search is a particularly fantastic way to hone in on a particular area if you have a good idea about where you want to go, which I feel is very under utilized.
I feel that real estate agents don't really capitalize on the inquiry system that is provided - often, if you leave your details you won't get a call back, but it's easy enough to take the initiative and pick up the phone instead. I should add that this is more true for rentals than sales. The phone app is also really user friendly!

This is a fantastic site.It's simple to use and most importantly it is kept up to date. The fact that real estate agents use it on a daily basis says a lot.

A great search engine for property, I've used this site rather than wasting time gathering a tree worth of rental lists (which are barely ever up to date anyway). An invaluable resource for renters, this site always has more properties listed than it's top competitor's domain.

We just bought our 2nd home, all because of this website! It is so easy to browse & use. Sorry not much more I can say about it, just have a look, you might find your dream home on there

The searches are great, good information and descriptions of properties. Really good way to research prices before you go out into the market. Great for looking at rental properties and what you can get for your dollar

This website has serious loading issues. The searches don't work properly because apparently agents don't have to provide accurate information - i.e houses that sold a year ago are still listed as for sale on there. Sick of wasting my time on this site, so disappointed - wish there was a better site.

truly a brilliant website for searching for properties

the search engines enable you to short list homes which the features you want and area and price range is very helpful

the email alerts are very comprehensive and useful too

definitely this website comes in handy for renting or buying properties or for doing research about the market in general

I use this site for researching all properties, those for sale and rental, in the areas that I am thinking of moving, buying or renting in. It's a great site and easy to use and will give you a fair price guide as long as you put in a comparable place, which you can do as the site allows for drilling down.

Real estate dot com works well. Eg say you have a place you want to rent out, or that you are looking to rent a place. Pick your state, suburb and type of property and it will bring up all the same ones so that will give you a good idea of the going $ rate. Say your after a two bedroom, two bathroom, two garge apartment in Mascot, if you define your search to that you'll find the average price for these apartments are 550.00 to 600.00 PW so you have an idea of what yours is worth or the going rate to rent in Mascot. You can do the same for buying.

Ensure if your targeting a particular area that you click on the surrounding suburbs tab and un tick it, tick it if your looking for a whole area, a suburb and will consider surrounding suburbs, that gives you even more options.
The site gives good descriptions of property, though that is up to the Realestate offices selling or renting properties, to fill in and is no reflection of the site, allot like womo is not responsible for what we write.

It would be good if they, being real estate offices would include floor plans in their rental ads like they do with for sale it would give renters a better idea of space and size.

This is a fabulous site my agency, that is mine, in the one I use to buy,sell and rent properties uses this as their main advertising resource.

the house we are living in now we found on realestate.com.au
found the house just by searching for houses in shoalwater, we arranged an inspection over the website and ended up getting the house! i know a lot of people that use this site and have found houses they loved. highly recommended
