The benefits of selling without a real estate agent

UNO home loans

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 honestly couldn’t recommend Jake de Ruyter more highly! From start to finish, he was absolutely amazing. He made the entire process smooth, stress-free, and easy to understand. His communication was excellent, he was incredibly quick to respond to emails, phone calls, and messages.

I contacted Uno on a whim about refinancing a small loan. Once I was in communication with Mike Parsons, I knew I was in safe hands. He was patient throughout the process and I appreciated his personalised, purposeful and professional service, especially the following up when it was required. Mike also comes highly recommended for his knowledge.

I highly recommend Mike Parsons from Uno Home Loans. He is a clear, patient communicator who made the complex loan application and settlement process easy to understand. Mike is very thorough and reassuringly meticulous with documentation. He was generous with his time, always prompt with answers, and handled multiple applications and extensions for us seamlessly, while giving useful advice on loan options along the way, even if it meant more work for him. Most importantly, Mike secured us a great loan when other brokers couldn't. I’ve already recommended him to friends and will continue to do so. The best broker I have used out of the several i have interacted with.

We can’t recommend Paul highly enough. He truly went above and beyond for us and made what could have been a stressful process feel simple and manageable. Paul’s communication was clear and honest from the start. He was straight up about everything, provided us with a clear list of what we needed to supply, and then took care of the rest. He was transparent throughout the entire process and always took the time to answer our questions — no matter how big or small. As first-home buyers purchasing in a new country, we were nervous going in, but Paul made the whole experience easy and reassuring. We felt supported every step of the way and genuinely appreciated his professionalism and guidance. Very appreciative of everything Paul did for us — we couldn’t have done it without him.

We had the pleasure of working with Paul Davey to secure a home loan for our first home. Paul was extremely knowledgable and helped make the entire journey of securing a property in Australia a breeze. We can't thank you enough for everything you did Paul, you are a true legend. Thank you very much! We'll be back for our next property.

Mike was recommended to us by a friend and exceeded expectations. He was extremely informative, patient, and flexible, and made our first home purchase a smooth experience. Beyond securing a great rate, the real value was how he managed all communication between solicitors, lenders, and other parties. This made settlement seamless and was incredibly helpful for us as time-poor buyers. Highly recommend.
