Standard Package

While it doesn’t guarantee more buyers, the Standard Package is designed to give you additional visibility across a wider range of real estate websites than the Basic Package.

Yes, with the Sale By Homeowner Standard Package, all buyer enquiries and negotiations go to you, so you can stay in control and save thousands on sales commission.

This varies depending on market performance as well as factors like your property’s condition and location. However, the Standard Package is designed to list your property for 8 months, which allows plenty of time to gain buyer interest, get market feedback, and adjust your strategy if required.

The four main areas to prepare for listing your property privately are legal, pricing, presentation, and marketing. Legal requirements and regulations vary from state to state, so it’s worth getting in touch with our real estate experts for tailored advice.

Yes. SaleByHomeOwner.com.au operates as a licensed real estate agency across Australia. We manage the advertising process in line with portal requirements, while giving homeowners a more DIY approach so they can stay closely involved and save thousands compared to a traditional full-service sale.

With the Standard Package, your property is advertised on realestate.com.au and you complete your listing details through your account. Once your ad is reviewed and published, homeowners receive buyer enquiries and can arrange inspections, answer questions, and negotiate directly, with support available if needed.

You purchase the Standard Package, create your account, and enter your property details, price, and photos. Our team reviews the listing for completeness and requirements, then it’s submitted for publishing. After it goes live, you can manage updates through your dashboard.

Yes. All listings and all edits are reviewed and checked before publishing to help ensure the content is compliant with the relevant state or territory laws, industry guidelines, and portal guidelines. This is a key part of how we support homeowners while operating as the licensed agency managing the advertising process.

Before you launch your property online, check our Helpful Links menu and read the Legal Requirements Before Listing section. This helps you understand what’s expected in your state or territory so you are compliant with local laws and guidelines.

Some states require homeowners to have certain documents prepared before marketing begins, such as a contract of sale or property disclosure documents. If you are unsure what applies to your situation, review that section first, then contact our team for guidance.

Your listing remains live according to the package terms and can stay active while you are selling. If you need changes, updates, or status switches like Under Offer or Sold, you can request or manage these through your account.

Homeowners receive buyer enquiries linked to their listing, so you can respond quickly, qualify buyers, and book inspections. This keeps you closely involved in the sale process while we operate as the licensed agency supporting the listing and advertising.

The Standard Package is designed to be straightforward for DIY sellers, but you can have as little or as much support as you need. Most homeowners find the process easy and handle the sale with minimal help.

If you do want help, you can access online and phone support from our team. Our licensed agents can assist with setting up the ad, improving the wording, updating the listing, and handling common buyer questions. Retirees and less tech-confident sellers often prefer more hands-on help, and that’s completely fine. You stay closely involved in the sale, and we support you at the level you’re comfortable with.

Yes. Homeowners can write the ad themselves, use our guidance, or use our tools to speed it up. Many sellers use our free AI tools inside their account to generate a polished headline and description in seconds, then tweak it to match their home.

Focus on three things: the first photo, the headline, and your price strategy. Use bright, well-framed photos, write a clear headline that highlights the strongest feature, and price realistically based on recent comparable sales. If enquiries are slow, updating the lead photo and tightening the first paragraph often lifts response quickly.

The Standard Package uses a one-time fee model rather than an ongoing commission. That’s why many homeowners choose it, because it can save thousands compared to a traditional agent’s percentage. The exact package price and inclusions should be shown clearly on the page, along with any optional add-ons.

Have your key details ready: property type, bedrooms and bathrooms, land size if applicable, the best photos you have, and a clear price strategy. If you have extras like a floor plan, video, or a list of recent upgrades, those can improve buyer confidence and help your ad perform better.

Also, check the Legal Requirements Before Listing section in our Helpful Links menu, as some states require certain documents to be prepared before marketing starts.

In most cases, listings can be prepared and published quickly once you have your information and photos uploaded and your listing meets the required checks. If you want it live faster, make sure your photos, price, and property details are complete from the start.

Yes. You can update your description, photos, price, and key details as needed. Keeping your listing fresh and accurate helps performance. If you are unsure what to change, our team can recommend improvements based on what buyers typically respond to.

When a buyer is ready to make an offer, you can negotiate directly and then engage a conveyancer or solicitor to handle the contract and settlement. If you want guidance on the process steps, our licensed team can help you understand what happens next, while your conveyancer manages the legal work.

Start with the basics: change the lead photo, improve the headline, and review pricing. If you’re getting views but not enquiries, pricing or the first few lines of the description are usually the issue. If you want help, our team can review your ad and suggest specific changes to improve response.

You do. When you sell a house on realestate.com.au through SaleByHomeOwner.com.au, homeowners can choose their own asking price and adjust it whenever they’re ready. Traditional agents can often disagree on value, and if you ask five agents for five appraisals, you’ll sometimes receive five different suggested price ranges.

Our process lets you launch at the price you want without the stress of an agent pushing for price reductions. You set the pace and stay closely involved in the pricing strategy.

If you’re planning to advertise on realestate.com.au through our service, the best starting point is sold evidence. Check recent sold results in your suburb and compare homes that are genuinely similar in size, condition, and location. Aim for a realistic market price based on what buyers have actually paid, not just what sellers are currently asking.

A practical method is to note the top 5 to 10 closest comparable sales, then price your home within a sensible range based on how your property stacks up from a buyer’s perspective.

Yes. Even if you plan to sell your house on realestate.com.au using a DIY approach, you can still ask local agents for an obligation-free market appraisal. They’ll usually share comparable sales and a suggested price range. Some agents may try to pressure you to list with them afterwards, so be clear upfront and stick to your plan.

You can, if you want a more formal benchmark before you advertise on realestate.com.au. A licensed valuer can provide a fair market valuation, which typically costs a few hundred dollars. Valuers are also used by banks for refinancing valuations, so it can be a useful option if you want extra confidence in your pricing.

A simple strategy when you sell a house on realestate.com.au is to reassess your listing every 1 to 2 weeks. Look at enquiry levels, inspection numbers, and buyer feedback. If interest is low, a small price adjustment can improve visibility and attract more buyers. This is a common process agents use as well, and it often helps move a property toward a sale.
