The benefits of selling without a real estate agent

While selling your own home may seem overwhelming to some, it can actually be super simple, with websites set up to assist you in the process.

Everyone selling a property tends to want the same outcome from the sale: For it to be convenient, to find a buyer willing to pay a top price, and not to incur unnecessary costs. If this sounds like you, you might want to consider selling your property without the assistance of a real estate agent. While it may seem overwhelming to some, selling without a real estate agent can actually be super simple, with sites like www.buymyplace.com.au to assist you in the process. Here are all the benefits of selling your place on your own.

There is no Middleman to Deal With

Without a middle man, there is no need for you to wait for their callbacks, strategies and trust the way they do things if you are not comfortable with. In addition, if you have the negotiating skills you think can get you a suitable deal, you might find you’re a natural at going agent-free in your journey to sell your place.

You Know More about the Place than Your Realtor

Since you are equipped with the knowledge of best things in your house it is arguably easier for you to market the place than someone who is a complete stranger. You can bring up these pointers when you are discussing the price with a prospective buyer. This also helps you accept the deal you end up with. Otherwise the deal the realtor proposes to you might feel like is not good enough.

Price Flexibility

The one reason that buyers like to see houses that have no realtor with it is because they believe they will be able to save money as the seller is able to let go of many costs – which is true. As a seller not bothering with a realtor, you are not burdened by a cost that compels you to push up your price validating it with the convenience of a real estate agent to your prospective buyer. This also helps you attract a greater number of prospective buyers in less time than those who hire realtors.

If you Have Sentimental Value Attached to Your House

If you want to talk to the people who are about to buy your place and the memories that go with it, it might be best that you carry out all the discussions and negotiations on your own. This helps you learn more about these people, and you are able to feel good about the idea of passing on your property to people you like.

Saving Money

The biggest advantage by far is the fee you save yourself from paying to a realtor. You could be better able to profit from the whole experience and maybe even put up the property at a lower price on the market than your competitors. If you are in a hurry to sell your property, this could also be an advantage.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Jake de Ruyter on our home loan application, and I couldn’t recommend him highly enough to anyone looking to finance a new home. From his lightning-fast response times to his extensive knowledge across every stage of the process, Jake has been a breath of fresh air during what can be a very stressful period. He made sure we understood each step clearly and took the time to explain anything we weren’t familiar with in a way that genuinely made sense. Jake went above and beyond to find the best option for our specific situation, and his dedication has truly set him apart. We will absolutely be using Jake for all future finance needs. Highly recommended

My partner and I have just bought our first home and Jake de Ruyter helped us arrange our finance. Jake was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He made the process smooth, stress-free, and straight-forward. He displayed professionalism and open communication throughout the process and was quick to act on every piece of correspondence. We are so happy and will 100% be doing all our future finance through Jake.

We chose Paul as our mortgage broker because, as fellow Kiwis, we wanted someone who truly understood us and how we work - and we’re so glad we did. His communication was exceptional from start to finish, always quick to respond (even to our many questions!) and incredibly clear throughout the entire process. Paul secured our loan super quickly and guided us through each step with confidence and ease. Buying a home in Australia can feel overwhelming, but he made everything feel straight forward and stress-free. We would recommend Paul all day long to anyone looking to purchase a home in Australia, and we will absolutely use him again when the time comes. Thank you, Paul - you’ve been amazing.

When seeking for a loan for my unconventional lending requirements (via a trading trust), none of the Big 4 nor regular brokers could help. I'm glad I found Jesse who has a thorough understanding of my requirements and it has been a pleasant and seamless experience to have my loan organised by Jesse until settlement. A well deserved 5 stars review from me!!!

His communication was outstanding, always keeping us updated and making sure we understood every step of the process. It’s clear he truly cares about his clients and goes above and beyond to achieve the best outcome.
