RealPrivate is an excellent choice for going it on your own.
When we decided to sell our home ourselves, we did a fair bit of research on the various options available. A family friend recommended RealPrivate so we made some inquiries. From the outset we were met with friendly efficient and knowledgeably help from the team.
Being our first time at selling our own home seemed a daunting task but we were calmed by the professional advice from RealPrivate so made the decision to go with them – you seriously MUST be on realestate.com.au – at one home open we had eight families through!!
We found the system...Read more

e answered by an Australian call center......imagine that!! potential buyers love dealing with owners. it won't be as scary as agents make it out to be, especially if you use Rick and his outstanding service. thanks again realprivate.com.au and keep up the amazing and rare quality of service. all the best to potential sellers, you cn do it with their support. ask yourself "why not?"

Great service and results
Our first time using Real Private, thought would give it a go to test the market. I found it a simple process to use and I am pleased with our result.
In our situation since we were selling land, we didn't feel the need for support services, however unless you have lots of time & are well organised, I would recommend looking at these if selling your own home . It can take much of the stress away doing it yourself.
The money saved by using this process is much better off in your pocket than giving it away to a real estate agent!
After taking to family & friends and hearing about our experience, my mum is now looking at using Real Private to sell her property.

This is the only way to sell your house
With the Australian real estate market still very strong and houses selling so quickly, why pay an Agent HUGE commission to sell your house in one day? We did it ourselves, it was easy and we saved just over $20,000!
I took the photos myself (I'm a photographer), created my own colour flyer in Photoshop and had them printed at a local printing shop. We also had our own For Sale sign printed for the front of the house and 6x corflute triangle signs to direct traffic to our house.
We ran three open homes; Saturday 2-3pm, Sunday 4-5pm and Tu...Read more
esday 6-7pm. In the end the weeknight open home sold the house. We had strong attendance at all home opens, but the weeknight open is a must in my opinion. If you're going to sell your home yourself, you need to pay attention to the small things. Clean, clean, clean. No weeds in the garden, no dust in the house, no chipped paint and DE-CLUTTER! Your house needs to look as open as possible. Remove all family photos too and replace with art. Fresh plants in the garden and mulch. We attended a few other open homes before we sold ours so we could research our market price. I was amazed at how shabby some of the houses were presented. Crooked curtains, fingerprints on windows, WEEDS!!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Great leasing service for self-managing landlords
We couldn’t be happier with the service and professionalism we have experienced throughout our recent dealings with Real Private. We initially had our investment property advertised for lease with a real estate agent, but was advised to reduce our expected weekly rent or risk it sitting empty. We felt the property was priced appropriately given the current market and so went looking for a way to advertise it ourselves – and found Real Private. We advertised for a little less than 2 weeks, held 2 open for inspections and received 4 applications ...Read more
– any of which we would have happily accepted. The end result is we’ve leased our property without having to reduce our expected rent and also avoided paying 7.7% in agency leasing fees (and a letting fee)! All in all, our property will be empty less than a week – a perfect opportunity for a spot of painting and minor repairs before our new tenant moves in. We really couldn’t be happier and would recommend Real Private wholeheartedly to anyone wanting to ensure they get the best deal for renting or selling their home. Thanks so much guys – we’ll definitely be back!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
PERFECT PLUS!
GOLD MEDAL FOR ATTENTION AND SERVICE!
I cannot praise this company enough! And believe me, if I'm not happy, I would say that too!
They went over and above what I expected for great service, with good manners and attitude rarely found in customer service. Dare I say I was not the easiest of customers at times, asking questions again and again, and each time I was met with patience, good advice, understanding and kindness - and I am a pensioner, so I was hoping for the best to save myself all those fees asked for by local real estate agents. ...Read more

So easy...would use again and again!
I have found RealPrivate to be very user friendly and have used them several times now. Easy to make changes to listings and have found communications via email efficient. The staff addressed my issues promptly and assisted with fixing any problems I encountered with placing the ad. A bit of advice if using the 24/7 reception service, write down the callers' details as the number that shows up is from RealPrivate and when you call them back, it's not easy for them to retrieve callers' numbers. A small minus, given the huge savings and control over the whole process. Thanks for providing such a great service!

Stress stress stress stress
Horrible service. i am not an agent and i encourage you to sell yourself but not with this compan . You pay for consultant service. but then they tell you to speak to your lawyer.
You have to leave a message and noone calls back ever. unless u ask to speak to owner of business. who advises u to put under contract on first offer. umm that's not how it works even i know that. impossible to get listing up. terrible tiny poster print. and then stress wen they won't advertise property as sold and it's the Friday and open day coming.
everything. don't be fooled by 24 hour buyer response . no point if listing is wrong. bad service and thank goodness i gave buyers my direct number in open house.

The best way to sell your own home
Within 24 hours of listing our home with realprivate.com.au we had 2 offers and have now signed a contract for sale. Listing our home was easy and the contract was signed before we even had a "FOR SALE" sign put up out the front. I have no hesitation in recommending your company to anyone wishing to sell their own home. Thanks realprivate.com.au for your professionalism and help in selling our home. I will definately use your company if we sell in the future.
Easy to use and assemble own advertisement. Great service.

Wouldn't hesitate to recommend .
This is the second time I have used Real Private in 6 months . The first home we sold in the first week and saved 35k in commission the second was a block of land we sold within two hours of it hitting the Internet for a grand fee of $99 . Commission on that would have been 12k not including any advertising . I found Real Private to be easy to use a couple of times I had to email for help and even though I was on the budget listing which is DIY they still assisted with my query. Buyers do have easy access, one reviewer noted they don't and ha...Read more
ve to go through Real Private first . All that happens is the email enquiry is forwarded from Real Private to your own email where you then retrieve it and make contact . No dramas and cannot see why this would be a problem. The land hit the Internet at 10am the enquiries came through at 11am cash contract that afternoon, no scam just DIY Real Estate . If you are looking to save on commission do your research, price your property correctly and list with a company such as Real Private . If you set a realistic price you will sell regardless of who you list with if you put a unrealistic price on it won't matter who you list with it won't sell . Real Private is one of many sell privatley companies I can't say I have used any others but I found this company to have great pricing and the service was great just remember it is a company you use to privately sell your property they don't do it for you . Wouldn't hesitate to use again . Price, ease of use .Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Premises tenanted within 3 weeks of advertising with Real Private.com on realcommercial.com
Placing our advertisement via Realprivate.com on realcommercial.com was very easy with the great assistance of Realprivate staff. This enabled us to personally liaise with prospective tenant's/purchasers enquiries and within 3 week's of the advertisement for our vacant premises being listed with Realprivate.com we now have a great tenant and we will also be conducting our own property management!
Simple to list and great value advertising costs, putting us in touch with a large audience on realcommercial.com

So easy and I saved heaps on agents commission
When I told my wife that I wanted to sell our house privately, she said it wouldn't work and we would need an agent if we were to conclude a prompt sale. Anyway I persisted and had a look at what RealPrivate could do for us and I certainly wasn't disappointed. The information we down loaded from the web site was excellent and I followed all the advice offered. I had our solicitors prepare a draft contract and also engaged a professional real estate photographer. With a selection of the better photos and a genuine description of our property, I ...Read more
listed on line via RealPrivate. I received the first inquiry within an hour of the listing going live and another early the following morning. Well I wasn't prepared to receive offers from the two parties who inspected the property that day and eventually signed a contract with the successful offerer the next and happy to note that the contract settles on Friday 20/09/2013. Fantastic and thanks must go to the support and professional advice received from their representatives. We achieved our asking price and did not have to pay agents commission. I would strongly recommend the services of RealPrivate Easy and inexpensive.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Worked like a dream!
realprivate.com.au were extremely efficient. They had our listing up and running within half a working day after I completed the online application and sent off my ID. We had 2 enquiries within the hour and both put in offers for our house! We have since turned away another 5 enquiries in the first 2 weeks of the listing.

Cheap, easy and down to earth service
We were a bit apprehensive and had never sold privately before but ended up choosing realprivate to help us sell our home as their prices were the cheapest compared to other for sale by owner companies. This was the first time I sold my property privately, previously I used agents who charged me a commission to do what I could have done myself far better. Listing with realprivate turned out to be very simple and I found I had a complete control over the content with the ability to edit the listing myself. As I am in customer service myself I va...Read more
lue good and helpful service which I received from realprivate – the staff were down to earth. My house was put up on realestate.com.au in the same day I signed up and it sold quickly and I enjoyed the experience especially after seeing how much money I saved on agent’s commissions. I would recommend if you list with RealPrivate that you choose the phone call option (for something like $25 per month) as I found that being able to speak with buyers directly was advantageous… cheap, down to earth staff, no commission fees, easy to use softwareSimilar opinion?

Stay far far away
What a joke. Not only was the guy on the phone rude as all hell but there were hidden fees and all sorts of hoops to jump through to get my listing live or even to get my enquiries. Its not clear on their website but the enquiries don't go straight to you, they have to go through them first, probably to use enquiry details for marketing. It looks like a good service when you land on their website but don't be fooled, ask questions first. I made the mistake of thinking their operation was above board and that there wasn't any hidden catches or costs. How wrong i was.

Great way to save on agents fees
I have used Real Private to successfully rent out my investment properties on two different occasions.
I found the process to be quite simple, the property was up on realestate.com.au in no time and I had the capability to control the whole ad and to add inspection times.
I received some enquiries via email which I could follow up on and then a lot of people turned up to the open for inspections as realestate.com.au is where everyone looks when they are wanting to rent an apartment.
In both cases my apartments were rented from the day ...Read more
they became available with no gap between tenants and now I don't have to pay ongoing agents fees for property management which will save a lot in the long run. Inexpensive, I had full control, property was up on realestate.com.au They have to approve publishing and changes to the ad which is annoying if you want to make a quick changeSimilar opinion?

I saved $18000
I found this method of selling my house to be most satisfactory. I was able to easily make adjustments as I needed, to my advertisement. (e.g. price dropping) and I liked the fact that I could upload any information and photos.
Friendly and informative staff. Helpful with all question... This is very important if this is your first time selling your own home yourself. I recommend any one considering selling should try this avenue first... There is nothing to lose. Very little effort and some time..
Saved us $18,000 dollars in estate agent fees

Take your money and forget about you.
I wish I had seen the review above me before I gave these guys my money. I signed up for the $400 package to get my land onto Real Estate.com, which was fine and the land went on without a problem. The problem was that if someone wanted to contact me via the contact agent button I would not receive the email as advertised by Real Private. As I don't have the phone call option (for an extra $20 a month) So there was no way a potential customer could contact me, making the whole thing pointless.
Worst was when I called to enquire about this I ...Read more
was put through to a voice mail service that would not connect you to anyone that could help (they promised a call back that never came). When I did get to Real Private customer service I was told it was probably a fault on my end and to change my email. I did this and still nothing. I called again and was eventually told that that there was a problem with South Australian customers and it would be fixed by the next day. It was not, and when I called up very angry by now as I had been with them for a month with not one reply to my ad, I was hung up on by the manager. I understand that it could have been that no one was replying to my ad, but I had been testing the email for 2 weeks before i called up angry, so I really don't know how long this problem had been going on for. I'm sure there are good internet based real estate agents out there, but this is not one of them. Got my property on Real Estate .com No one could contact me if they wanted to buy my property.1 comment
