Save by Selling Privately

There are number of good reasons to consider a private sale, one of the main reasons being the huge savings from not having to pay real estate fees. The number of home owners selling privately varies from year to year but typically sits between 10% and 22% of all properties that are listed for sale at any one time.

Use the real estate commission calculator to give you a ballpark idea of what you could save selling your own property yourself.

The sale was confirmed a few days after our deadline. The process was good and we used the DIY Real Estate signage and brochures. They worked really well.

Selling a Home Privately in New Zealand

By far the greatest fear for people is that they aren't usually 100% sure about how to sell their home themselves and this lack of knowledge can create uncertainties and a lack of confidence. There is also a perceived mystery about the processes involved when in reality it's not all that hard if you break it down into logical steps. As long as your asking price is within the correct pricing band for similar properties and the property presentation is up to standard, the rest will flow from this. DIY Real Estate are here to help so feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

Why sell your property through a real estate agent when selling privately is a very viable choice. Selling your own home or property privately not only saves real estate commission fees but people choosing the homesell FSBO (For Sale By Owner) option means they are in control - and the process itself is not hard to follow.

Real Estate Signage - Signs, Brochures and Products

Real estate signs including real estate open home signs

Real estate signage is very important and many properties sales eventuate from people simply driving past and seeing a for sale sign. Signs reflect your professional attitude and present a good image. Ultimately, potential buyers should not even be able to tell you are selling your house privately.

DIY Real Estate is able to supply cost effective real estate signs and sales aids including For Sale signs, Open Home signs and Sign Stands, Brochures and Brochure Holders.
